Artistic Vision Brought To Life
With Perforated Sheets
Expressive wall decorations made with perforated metal panels from RMIG
combine functionality and aesthetics at an indoor swimming facility.
To increase the functionality of the swimming facilities in Hundvåg, it was decided to give the interior an artistic dimension
that would counterbalance the hard surfaces and improve the acoustics by reducing noise levels. Artists Marius Dahl and Jan
Christensen won the competition for this assignment with a beautiful project, inspired by water and waves. Dahl and Christensen
suggested a sophisticated wave pattern to reflect the use of the facilities. RMIG worked closely with the artists and Stålteknikk AS
to find the perfect solution for this project. To bring the artists’ vision to life, tailor-made perforated panels and cassettes from the
RMIG City Emotion programme were used on the walls, creating a striking 3-D effect.
Functional aesthetics
All panels for the Hundvåg project were manufactured from 5754 aluminium, perforated with round holes and finished with
a special surface treatment for maximum corrosion protection. Sound absorbing batts have been placed behind the panels
to ensure maximum noise reduction. Furthermore, the perforated cassettes have been delivered as complete units, ready for
installation, saving valuable time for everyone involved in this prestigious project. It is functionality and aesthetics on a new level.
RMIG is the world’s largest manufacturer and supplier of perforated metal. In addition to exterior cladding, the company also
supplies products for a large number of construction applications such as car park and security screening, acoustic wall linings,
ceilings, lighting, street furniture, balustrades and walkways.
