Ventilated Façades and Sheet Metal Cladding

10 December 2025 · 3 min read

Ventilated façades in sheet metal are today one of the most sought-after solutions in contemporary architecture, thanks to their ability to combine design, energy efficiency and durability.

TrackDesign, a brand of Ali6, develops bespoke projects for façades, cladding and metal substructures, supporting the client from design to final realisation.

What is a sheet metal façade?

A perforated or micro-perforated sheet metal façade is an architectural cladding made of metal panels with holes of varying shapes and sizes. This technology allows:

  • A modern aesthetic and a unique visual effect
  • Protection from the weather
  • Solar shading and reduced energy consumption
  • Natural ventilation and thermal comfort
  • Privacy without giving up brightness

These features make sheet metal an ideal choice both for new buildings and for building renovation works.
