A fluted facade is cladding made of metal panels or profiles shaped into continuous parallel ribs and grooves ("flutes"), usually running vertically. The repeating profile catches light on the ribs and holds shadow in the grooves, giving the building a refined, rhythmic texture inspired by classical fluted columns.

Ribs catch light while grooves hold shadow, giving a calm, moving texture through the day.
Vertical flutes draw the eye upward, making towers and entrances feel taller and more refined.
Flutes run smoothly around curves, corners and round columns without visible breaks.
The ribbed profile disguises minor wall unevenness and resists the look of dents better than flat panels.
Choose flute shape, depth and spacing (pitch) to suit scale and budget.
Profiles are extruded or roll-formed, cut to length and finished.
Panels clip onto concealed aluminium rails with aligned, near-invisible joints.
Soft, classical half-round ribs.
Crisp, modern rectangular ribs.
Angled ribs for sharper light and shadow.
Rib spacing changes across the wall for a dynamic rhythm.
Flutes are a continuous ribbed surface fixed close to the wall for texture. Fins are separate blades that project out from the facade, mainly to shade glazing.
Yes. Vertical flutes follow curves naturally, which makes them a popular choice for round columns and curved entrances.
Round flutes feel classic and soft, square flutes feel crisp and modern, and trapezoid flutes give sharper shadows. We share samples so you can compare in daylight.
No. Aluminium flutes are metal, suited to exterior use, non-combustible and long-lasting under sun and rain. WPC and PVC fluted panels are mostly for interiors.
Vertical grooves are largely self-cleaned by rain. In dusty areas, a periodic wash keeps the finish looking even.
