Certificate type
A dramatic kinetic installation of moving stainless steel tiles, suspended on modular grating panels, creating a dynamic architectural facade for wall cladding.
Application
STEREO-KINETIC® Wall can be used as an architectural facade, as a screen or as a decorative cladding.
Applications:
- As a section or complete facade of a new-build.
- As a retrofit to enhance the appearance of an existing building.
- As a connective feature, integrating an extension to a building
- As a facade on a building such as a multi-storey car park that requires through ventilation.
- As a reflective backdrop for a projected light show.

Description
STEREO-KINETIC® Wall is a kinetic facade. It is designed to change dynamically, creating a visually captivating and ever-changing display. It achieves this effect as gusts of wind interact with the stainless-steel tiles, causing them to ripple. This results in a playful rhythm of reflected light, which adds a dynamic and aesthetic dimension to a building's façade.
The system is protected by patents and is constructed using specially designed components. These components provide a smooth bearing surface and securely hold the freely moving stainless-steel tiles which are suspended from open mesh grating panels.
Features and benefits:
- The system allows for creative freedom ensuring that each project is distinctive and original.
- It can be installed as a continuous façade, covering an entire building or a specific section.
- Architects can design patterns that allow for a desired level of airflow or natural daylight. This customization enables the system to be adapted to the specific requirements of each project.
- By using coloured tiles, the system can be used to display graphics and logos.
- The façade can be used to interact with projected lighting, acting as a canvas for artistic and visual displays.
- Panels are made to custom sizes and supplied complete with all components.
