Facade Blades

Architectural Facade Blades for Large-Scale External Applications

Sculptform's Facade Blade system is specifically designed and engineered for large-scale external facades, allowing for significant spans between fixings. This robust system accommodates various applications, ensuring both durability and design flexibility.

How it works

The key to the system is the mounting rail, which is fixed to the structure at the required spacing and has preset locations for the blade sequence.

Prefinished blades are then easily connected to the mounting rail. The system has been designed to maximise design flexibility while maintaining ease of installation.

Pre-Engineered Connections

Working with leaders in the facade industry, we have created a world-class, pre-engineered system. For designers, this means large spans which allow uninterrupted linear looks.

Simple Installation

We understand site time is expensive. So we’ve developed the system to be simple, adaptable and easy to install on-site. A clean install with little or no fixings visible, with great performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What architectural applications are suited to Facade Blades?

Facade Blades are engineered for large-scale external facades and can incorporate long, uninterrupted linear lines making them ideal for dynamic building exteriors with deep texture, rhythm, and scale.

Can the system accommodate complex architectural forms?

Yes. Facade Blades can be installed on curved, raked, or angled façades using factory-curved rails (down to a 1.5m radius) and adjustable brackets, enabling designers to achieve complex shapes without compromising structural integrity.

What finish options are available, and how do they perform outdoors?

Blades can be finished with powdercoat, anodising, or realistic wood-look wraps, each backed by warranties for exterior performance. These finishes deliver excellent UV stability, corrosion resistance, and fade protection in demanding outdoor environments.

How do Facade Blades perform in high windload areas and large spans?

Facade Blades are engineered with exceptionally robust connection systems, making them ideal for large-format blades, high windload zones, long spans, and cantilevered designs. This strength ensures structural integrity and reliability even on demanding projects. Consulted with your engineer throughout the design process.
