About Facade Screens products

Facade screens serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, including updating old or worn buildings while blocking UV rays from entering rooms. However, only high-quality facade screens can deliver both to the highest standard possible. ArchiPro only selects the best facade screens from reputable suppliers in New Zealand, so you can shop with confidence, knowing you’ll be browsing only top-of-the-range solutions.

Facade screens are the outermost layer of a building or home used to update the looks of older buildings and refresh the external design. Facade screens are versatile and can also increase property value for buildings in New Zealand. ArchiPro’s selection of facade screens come from the best suppliers in New Zealand made with the highest quality materials for a classic or contemporary look.

Timber facade screens

Timber looks beautiful against any building and provides a classic and affordable option. Common timber types in New Zealand include pine, oak and cedar.

Metal facade screens

Metal facade screens are increasingly popular in New Zealand due to their ability to be customisable with perforations. These allow some natural light to pass through the screen, while still retaining protective properties. Aluminium outdoor screens can use louvres or perforated panels to manage light, airflow and privacy.

The advantages of high-quality facade screens

As with all cladding and facade systems, you should choose high-quality facade screens for their optimal performance, look and design. High-quality facade screens often come with additional features such as soundproofing and high UV protection. High-quality metal facade screens can also be incredibly energy efficient by reducing overheating and decreasing the need for excess air conditioning. They also often have beautiful and ornate details in creative colours and designer themes. For many high-quality facade screens, you don’t need to worry about visibility, as the visual transparency will be maintained with optimal levels of light penetration. An architectural screen wall can also define an entry, balcony or service area while allowing air and filtered light through.

How to choose facade screens that are right for you

Facade screens provide a strong first impression on any building, and for commercial use, this can directly impact your business. Many high-rise buildings prefer metal facade screens for a corporate and sleek appearance, but wood can also provide an architecturally complex look to spaces like art galleries and museums. Different finishes will evoke various feelings, so keep this in mind. For example, timber facade screens ooze warmth and comfort, while metal and aluminium facade screens offer professionalism and clean lines. Do note that wood requires more upkeep than metal facade screens-many people opt for resin-coated timber for extra protection from harsh elements in New Zealand. Architectural screens and walls can be specified together where a project needs a consistent treatment across elevations and outdoor areas.

Where are facade screens placed on a building?

Facade screens are often placed on the front or top of a building, to add dimension, colour and visual contrast. Some facade screens envelop the windows to the roof, while others cover the entire front from top to bottom

How are facade screens attached?

In New Zealand, most facade screens are attached with mesh panels covering the entire area of the screen, alongside additional support at the top and bottom. Most individual screens are mounted using a framing system employed by professionals.

What are facades usually made out of?

One of the best features of facades is how versatile they are. Facades can be made from metals like steel and aluminium, glass and timber.
