When thinking of the standard perforated panel facade, what comes to mind are solid, yet cold metal panels made of stainless steel, copper, aluminium or titanium. Those panels are used in an industrial environment, to protect walls, floors and ceilings, or cover wall insulation inside and outside of larger buildings. As durable as they seem, a metal perforated facade panel is commonly high in maintenance, an expensive purchase in construction, and hard to individualize. Swiss based manufacturer and innovator Bruag AG has developed an alternative to those perforated facade panels, which easily fits any architectural challenge and brings colour to urban areas.
One of the biggest advantages of Bruag’s perforated panel facade is the high customisability of the individual tiles, used to plan and realise unique buildings of any kind. There is no limit shapes, sizes and cut-outs. Where perforated metal facades fail to match the design of the exterior and interior of a building, due to a standard perforation, perforated panel facades made of CELLON® or Formboard top pine are individually laser cut.
CELLON® is a full-core laminated sheet made of 70% cellulose and 30% phenol resin. The material is pressed into 8mm or 10mm thick panels, that can be cut into any size. Bruag uses CELLON® panels to construct and individualise perforated panel facades, facade tiles, balcony rails and even sound-supporting wall covers for concert halls, stages or crowded areas. CELLON® is highly durable and low in maintenance. Another alternative to metal panels are Formboard top pine wood based panels. Formboard consists of sawdust enriched with polyurethane. It is therefore a very eco-friendly way to cover facades. The panels are resistant to climatic conditions such as rain, snow and heat. Due to being individually laser cut, perforations turn out just as needed. Any notches needed for applying the perforated panel facade to walls and ceilings may be planned upfront and cut out at order without extra charge.

Both CELLON® and Formboard top pine perforated facade panels are highly customisable. They can be covered into one of over 3.000 colours, available to the manufacturer. Choose any colour and tone from the RAL or NCS S range, or pick from the Les Couleurs ® Le Corbusier or Bruag Alu spectrum. Bruag Alu enables you to even make your perforated panel facade look like metal when using the more durable wooden based materials. All colours used by Bruag AG are light and UV proof. They don’t fade easily and are resistant to climatic conditions.
