Hybrid Composite + Metal Facades
The Powerful Synergy of Materials: Hybrid Facade Designs
Modern architectural projects are moving away from uniformity and toward hybrid designs where different textures and materials are used together. SACCIO Hybrid Facade Systems combine the smooth finish and wide color range of aluminum composite panels with the industrial texture of natural metal (mesh, perforated sheets, corten, etc.) on the same facade.
In this system, composite panels are typically used on the building’s main blind (solid) surfaces as an economical and fast cladding solution, while perforated or mesh metals are used in areas that need emphasis, on windows where solar control is required, or to conceal technical zones such as fire stairs. SACCIO engineering develops detail solutions that ensure these materials—each with different thermal expansion coefficients—work together in harmony.
Optimizing the cost/performance balance for investors, hybrid systems add visual rhythm and contrast to the building. With this approach, frequently preferred in shopping malls, hospitals, and mixed-use projects, we create facades that are both budget-friendly and architecturally rich.
