MD FORMATURA
MD Formatura An exciting light and shadow play. Controlling the incidence of light and the indoor climate of a building. With MD Formatura you realize the most controversial designs. A pattern is punched into the facade panels with MD Formatura. The figures created by this are transformed to catch light, cast shadow and create depth. The pattern can be square, round, triangular, hexagonal, flowery or one of your own design. All patterns together can be converted into a specific image to make an erasable impression with your facade. Because variable openings are possible, an MD Formatura façade slows down the wind and regulates the entry of sunlight. Depending on how the sun moves over the building, we put the figures in the most favorable position.

Sample patterns

MD Formatura has three different pattern types. Pattern type 1 has the same shape and direction. Pattern type 2 has the same shape and different directions. And pattern type 3 has different shapes and directions.
Figures MD Formatura consists of a pattern of figures where parts are converted. These figures can have equal forms or different forms. With the same figures a pattern can be created by converting parts in two different directions, through which a image arises in the shadow. This effect can be strengthened in case of different shapes, sizes and directions. Above you see an example of how a shape must be converted. Preferably, the shaft (B) has a width of approximately 5 to 6 mm.
