Program Title: Designing with Architectural Expanded and Perforated Metals

Course Number: K2211S

Length: 1 Hour 

Credit: 1 LU/HSW

Course Description: Expanded mesh and perforated metals offer excellent opportunities to bring new design elements, textures, and, in some cases, functionality to your project. In this lunch and learn presentation, we will discuss some of the properties of these two materials, cover considerations you should make while designing, and expand on different applications and their functional benefits.

Learning Objectives

Objective 1: Explain how the expanded mesh is manufactured and discuss its features and performance advantages.

Objective 2: Explain how perforated metal is manufactured and discuss its features and performance benefits.

Objective 3: Review the considerations that must be taken into account when working with expanded mesh and perforated metals.

Objective 4: Explore examples of architectural applications for expanded mesh and perforated metals
