Metadecor

Metadecor realized several building parts for this project on behalf of De Vries en Verburg. The façade of the office building is clad with MD Flack panels made of weather-resistant steel. The panels are attached with our MD Resto system, which contributes to the efficiency of the installation process. The mounting of the panels is invisible from the outside. The façade panels of the office are equipped with integrated nesting boxes for various species of birds and bats.

In Busan, South Korea, Factory 1963 has been transformed into an art gallery. We created the facade with 2000 m2 of MD Expanded metal in the MD Academy design. We used a particularly durable class 2 coating that maintains the integrity of the color, which is essential because of the strong sunlight in South Korea.The MD Expanded metal is fastened to the existing building with the MD Verti system, while the screws are in the same color as the Expanded metal for a seamless finish.

The BFAS architecture firm has designed a striking new shopping center in the heart of Enschede. For this project, the architect specially developed two different types of facade panels in collaboration with Metadecor.SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTSSituated in a traditional shopping area, the location posed specific requirements regarding both architecture and urban planning. What’s more, recent developments in the retail market created high demands for the building’s character and ceiling height. Adding to the challenge was the fact that the future renters were unknown at the beginning of the design phase; hence, the building needed to offer numerous possibilities for subdivision. The monomorphic HEMA store on site was no longer suitable in any way.... More

We supplied the Cultural Center at Ieper (Ypres) with a sheet wall facade of MD Expanded metal. This facade forms a seamless, continuous skin around the building. As well as being a quality product, using a copper facade is also highly aesthetic. The main reasons for using copper as a material are the malleability and abrasion resistance. Under the stresses of air temperatures and rainfall, copper forms an impermeable oxide layer which initially develops into a deep brown and then stabilises into the characteristic patina color. This oxide layer protects the copper directly from the elements. More

The NAI reopened in the late summer of 2011 after a grand renovation. This national museum for architecture has a transparent block in a series of columns for the library and administration, with an enormous steel canopy overhanging. The canopy is surrounded by MD Expanded metal with various openings. This type of Expanded metal is an effective sunscreen with graduated transparency to control the sun’s ray on the glass walls, and we used the MD Resto system to fix the panels. These were provided with bed hook recesses in the frameworks. More
