Description

The SCATEMORI perforated sheet metal used to fill DAMPERE guardrails DAMPERE a vibrant pixelated texture, rocked by a fluid movement that gives the impression of a supple choreography. The design consists of different areas that alternate between empty and full spaces, determined by curves, creating an impression of lightness through the vertical orientation of the shapes. This impression of movement and fluidity is reinforced by the play of light and shadow that the perforations create on the surrounding surfaces, casting a penumbra on the terrace floor. The whole evokes a delicate dance in which the shapes move, intersect, unravel and then twist together, offering a perception that is both soothing and dynamic. The SCATEMORI decorative panel SCATEMORI the perception of the guardrail, both for those who experience it from inside the apartment looking out from their balcony, and for passers-by who look up to admire the building's facade.

Uses

The SCATEMORI guardrail infill panel SCATEMORI a dynamic, fluid design from left to right that gives the impression of a modern mashrabiya, playing with light and absorbing prying eyes. The randomly arranged curves enhance the effect of the pattern from inside the balcony, exacerbated by the different sizes of holes that add a vertical champagne bubble movement. Users of the terrace discover round shapes that evolve towards the top of the guardrail, in a transverse and sinuous slide to find the easiest path to the handrail. These vibrations in the perforated sheet metal over several linear meters give the perforation a very distinctive look. This design is interesting for brightening up railings on long balconies in public housing or social housing, providing significant protection from view from the street, while concealing objects placed by residents on their balconies. The visual protection can be raised as a balcony divider or privacy screen on the building facade with the same pattern vibration. This perforated sheet metal guardrail can be used for projects where you want to break up the monotony and add more dynamism to balconies while keeping costs down.

Effect produced

Perforated sheet metal with round holes of various sizes provides transparency and opacity to the balcony railing, creating a fluid movement effect that occurs randomly from left to right along the linear length of the balustrade. The dynamic movement unfolds in a unique way on the balcony infill, without any repetition, as each area of the railing has a different pattern. This creates a vast panoramic view on the balcony, breaking up any monotony. The lower part of the railing base has fewer perforations, providing privacy without feeling heavy. The reduction in the number of holes is offset by the fluidity of the shapes, creating an effect of lightness across the entire balcony. The reduction in perforations provides opacity that promotes privacy behind the Scatemori perforated sheet metal, with the railing enhancing the privacy of the balcony.

Team advice

To ensure the mechanical integrity of the abstract moucharabieh applied to the SCATEMORI guardrail infill panel, our Design Office recommends optimizing the perforated galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 20/10ths to comply with the NF P 01-013 guardrail safety standard. Destructive testing was carried out using a bag under a dynamic load from a soft body with a diameter of 50 cm applying 600 joules, impacting the geometric center of the perforated panel on the balustrade.

Balcony opacity

Hiding the view from the street by filling the railing with semi-opaque material for greater comfort on the balcony of a low-income housing complex in the city.
