Create signature metal design elements with the flexibility and affordability of Zahner ImageWall custom-perforated metal panels. These captivating and durable metal features combine modern lines and parametric designs with classic materials and can now be embellished with custom images through the patented process of Zahner ImageWall. Zahner ImageWall metal panels can be used to enhance lobbies, decorate parking garages, refresh aging exteriors, or create partitioned outdoor spaces. Depending on your design goals, the metals and finishes you choose can be used to create warmth, contrast, color, separation and privacy.
Balancing creativity, costs, and quality is the ultimate challenge for any stakeholder in the design and construction process. Architects want to produce profound designs. Contractors want to build with economy and speed. Owners want to create memorable spaces and places. But there are many unknowns that can drive unnecessary costs and confusion. There is often a knowledge gap between design and engineering, materials and applications, attachment points and installations. At Zahner, we add a knowledge layer that fills these crucial gaps because we bring a one-of-a-kind blend of architecture, engineering, technology, metallurgy and fabrication to every design project.
Serving collectors, curators and institutions worldwide, Zahner Metal Conservation provides a range of specialized treatment services for metal art, architecture, and sculpture. Drawing upon decades of experience, we handle each work with the utmost care and concern for the artist or architect's original intention. Every work of art or architectural element in need of care undergoes a specific and science-based evaluation to determine the most appropriate course of action. Works treated and maintained by Zahner Metal Conservation experts are guaranteed.
From copper and steel to aluminum, stainless steel, and zinc, we help you find the materials and finishes that enhance the impact of your project. At Zahner, we blend the disciplines of architecture, engineering, metallurgy and fabrication. Our research and new product development teams work with every alloy of metal to apply classic patinations, as well as custom, collaborative palettes of new colors and finishes.

The Wynwood Garage painted aluminum facade, designed by Faulders Studio, features over 54,000 square feet of custom perforated panels with a series of projected fin-like elements mounted to the panels to provide depth to the design. Zahner was brought on to the project team early in the design phase...
To a calligrapher, the spacing, direction, inclination, pressure, and orientation of a stroke defines the “spirit” or energy of a line. Patinas are in a sense “living finishes” that respond to local environmental conditions and exposure, adding temporal richness to a building’s exterior.
High precision and material optimization is what makes Zahner ImageWall stand out.
