The article explores the creative potential of perforated metal panel systems like Zahner ImageWall® and Zahner ImageLines® from the design process to technical detailing and application. Whether used in multi-family residential, hospitality, healthcare or higher education, these screens and materials provide a customizable canvas for integrating images, logos, graphics, and backlighting in almost any setting you can imagine.
