Custom Laser-Cut Decorative Metal Screen

Boutique

The Challenge

A down to the wire request to have two large, intricate, decorative metal screens completed in just 4 days.

These laser cut panels also received custom plating.

Complex issues

• An intensely  intricate and delicate decorative pattern repeated throughout the piece
• The maximum thickness of the material was limited to 1/16”
• These decorative metal panels have many fine and narrow filigree characteristics that could not be cut quickly on the laser
• The metal screen panels were very large; 113” x 36”

The Solution

• Advanced Architectural Grilleworks’ engineering team programed the pattern in several hours and immediately went into production by 4 PM the first day.
• The laser ran throughout the night continuing on the panels.
• Due to the intricacy of the pattern and light material gauge, the cutting sequence had to be randomly arranged to ensure the material wasn’t melted.
• The grille pattern required over 60 hours of cutting time.

Success

The contractor and Boutique owner were thrilled we could meet an impossible deadline. Their words:

“They look amazing.”
