Learn about all the benefits of using folded metal sheets to cover and give character to the facade of a building. Folded sheet metal for facades is a material used for facade cladding due to its elegance, versatility and resistance. The bending technique of the metal – whether steel, aluminum, or zinc to name a few examples – creates an attractive visual effect and provides a durable solution for exterior cladding. In this article, we will explore the features, benefits, and applications of folded sheet metal applied to architectural facades. Characteristics of the folded metal sheet for facades The folded sheet metal usually comes in most cases from coils that are unrolled and cut to the length and width necessary for the project in question. Once the sheets are cut from the coil, they are ready to be perforated if necessary, or directly bended. The folds are made in special machines designed for this function called «folders». In this sense, there are manual folding machines that work in a single direction and automatic folding machines that are capable of folding on both sides, which makes the folding process much easier and faster. The process of generating folds in the sheet to varying degrees and at varying distances from one another creates a visually appealing geometry and texture. Furthermore, these folds not only add an aesthetic element to the facade, but also increase the rigidity and strength of the material. Benefits of folded sheet metal for facades: Sleek and modern aesthetics: The pleat pattern in the sheet metal provides a distinctive and contemporary look to the building’s facade. The variety of shapes and sizes of folds allows the creation of unique and personalized designs, adapted to architectural tastes and needs. Durability and resistance: Metal is a highly resistant and durable material, capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions and resisting corrosion. Folded steel or aluminum sheet metal retains these properties well, ensuring the longevity and reduced maintenance of the exterior cladding. Versatility in design: Folded sheet metal can be used in a variety of facade applications, including commercial, residential and public building cladding. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to different shapes and architectural geometries, creating a dynamic and attractive appearance. Energy efficiency: By combining the folded sheet metal with insulating materials, the energy efficiency of the building is improved by increasing thermal insulation. This contributes to reduce the expense and energy in the interior conditioning of the building. At TAS we are experts with more than 15 years of experience in sheet metal folding.

Metallic cladding based on the Mallorca 6 architectural profile, a suitable choice for sustainable construction. More than 4,000 m2 of the Mallorca 6 profile have been manufactured and supplied for this recently opened residential building in Seville, Spain. For this project, the Mallorca 6 Profile has been manufactured starting from a galvanized steel coil with a thickness of 0.8 mm and perforated R5T7.5 to subsequently lacquer it in the oven on both sides in RAL 9010 colour. As can be seen, this profile has been used to enclose the terraces of each home in this building, providing elegance, design, and privacy. In addition, the perforation allows air to pass through and helps to maintain a more balanced temperature during the hottest months, while providing light and spaciousness inside the home. The Mallorca 6 profile has a useful width of 990 mm, which allows progress and cover a large part of a project quickly and economically. This profile can be manufactured up to 6 meters long and has a rib height of 53 mm. Given that for this project the profile was post-lacquered in the oven with 55 microns of paint on both sides, the perforations were covered and with it, the steel protection of this profile was guaranteed. This gives this facade greater durability over the years and will prevent the appearance of rust. At TAS, we have a range of architectural profiles for facades, but, of course, we adjust to any metal facade project and we manufacture customized architectural profiles for each project.
