LIGHTING INTEGRATION

Andalusia’s founding team came out of the commercial acoustics and lighting world – these elements are integral to our Perforate designs.

Lighting, diffuser and perf panel are designed as a single system. Available with commercial lighting and control options.

Our team will provide photometric models, openness % and light-loss factor data, power requirements and more.

Perforate can help meet the sound dampening needs of a space.

The system can be specified with acoustic material backing, which gives you the look of precision-perforated aluminum face panels with strong NRC performance.

The system can also be specified with a PET felt face to give not only sound absorption, but also visual softness.

FINISHES

Perforate systems are finished using commercial-grade powder coating – providing predictable performance, color flexibility, and long-term durability.

Standard powder coat colors and specialty finishes, including metallic and wood-inspired appearances, are available.

Specialize in interior and exterior applications.

PATTERNS

Unlike traditional perf metal systems that rely on fixed SKUs or pattern books, Perforate is built on a digital design framework.

We start from geometry, imagery, or intent – and translate it into a perforation pattern optimized for aesthetics and budget.

This approach allows architects to design exactly what the space needs, not compromise to the closest available standard option

INSTALLATION

Panels install on the wall with a drop-and-lock system for the wall with the rails and panels are provided by Andalusia.

For the ceiling portion, the panels can mount to a standard grid or to a hard lid.

Andalusia helps manage the corners to ensure the transition from the wall to ceiling is clean and continuous.

DESIGN SERVICES

Our dedicated Architectural Digital Design team provides parametric design services to rapidly develop Perforate design options, starting at the concept phase.

Patterns, panelization, and detailing are optimized for fabrication, installation, and budget.

Our team supports projects from early concept through shop-ready documentation.

CONTRACTOR-FRIENDLY

Perforate systems integrate cleanly into standard construction workflows – reducing risk, coordination time, and surprises in the field.

Designed for standard attachments, Perforate offers predictable installation, is field-serviceable by design and integrates components cleanly into the system.

We take pride in our clear submittals and shops. We also offer transparent pricing and short lead times.
