Perforated panels
Hole size, pitch, density and open area can be tuned for ventilation, screening, solar response and image-like effects while retaining a continuous panel field.
Decision Centre / Global
Perforated façade panel or laser-cut architectural screen?
Both can create patterned screening, but they use different pattern logic and structural relationships between solid material and open area.

Direct answer
The short version.
Perforated panels suit repeatable holes, graduated density and controlled open-area strategies across larger façade fields. Laser-cut screens suit larger custom motifs, expressive cut geometry and feature-screen applications where pattern identity is the dominant design intent.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Laser-cut screens
Larger cut shapes and custom motifs can create stronger graphic identity, but remaining ligaments, cut edges and panel stability need careful structural review.
Pattern is not only aesthetic
Wind, support spacing, panel gauge, edge distance, climbability, privacy and maintenance all interact with the pattern.
Comparison matrix
Perforated Façade vs Laser-Cut Screen — project comparison
Use this as an early project-screening matrix. Final suitability depends on the exact system, site, configuration and project requirements.
| Factor | Perforated façade | Laser-cut screen |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern language | Repeated / graduated perforations | Custom cut motifs |
| Open-area control | Highly systematic | Geometry dependent |
| Visual scale | Fine to medium pattern | Medium to large pattern |
| Structural check | Deflection / perforation density | Ligaments / cut geometry |
| Typical role | Façade field / parking / ventilation | Feature screens / privacy / identity |

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Is one option always the right choice?
No. The useful choice depends on the project outcome, site conditions, scale, local work, operating expectations, maintenance and required technical evidence.
Does Apollo calculate a universal online price from this comparison?
No. Apollo uses a manual project-brief and quotation process so product family, quantity, destination, freight, configuration and project interfaces are reviewed before pricing.
Who handles local design, approvals and installation?
Apollo is primarily supply-only. Local engineering, approvals, foundations, services, installation and other site work remain with the appointed local project team unless a written scope states otherwise.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
