Ficha Screen Panel, Hunter Douglas

Screen Panel is a product of a single skin and has the ability to be drilled according to designs or shapes that the architect can create, which are generated during the process of preparing the panel by computer technology.

A particularly interesting aspect of the material are the possibilities which were used in Casino de Talca. While it is a product of a single skin, and therefore used as a coating, this time a system using 2 screen panels was used to achieve a double skin independent of the building volume.
