The METALCO Screen and Curtain Wall Facade Systems are based on the “Grigliato” Architectural Grille panels and can also incorporate the “Grigliato” “SC” louver panels. The large selection of different panel types and mesh sizes enables the designer to meet many design and functionality requirements. Special Design Effects can be achieved by combining different panel types into patterns.
Design requirements such as airflow restriction, wind load resistance, visual screening and structural support had been thoroughly addressed. Please consult with our engineering team to learn how we can provide practical solutions for your project.
RIGIDITY
The screen system’s high rigidity is accomplished by use of combined steel bars which electro forged cross rods. A wide selection of a variety of different mesh sizes is available to match your project needs. All railing systems are designed to meet the strength requirements of standard building codes. Custom-engineered systems can be designed to match any strength requirement for specific local building codes (i.e., wind load requirements, air flow restrictions etc.)
MODULAR SYSTEM
The screen system is provided as a complete modular system consisting of components in various sizes, support structure elements, rails and attachment hardware.
LONGEVITY
METALCO’s advanced polyester powder coating system assures lasting colors. The combined protection of galvanization and powder coating ensures best protection against rust and corrosion.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
The “GRIGLIATO” system components are developed with ease of installation in mind. All items are pre-manufactured to allow for a bolted installation with no or very little on-site cutting or welding required.
PANELS
“GRIGLIATO” architectural façade screen systems are custom manufactured to match your project requirements. The system is based on “GRIGLIATO” infill panels which are available in a variety of different styles, mesh sizes and finishes. The panels are made from a combination of steel bars and rods which are electro-forged welded on a fully automated production line. The panel sizes, frame post spacing, frame types and other details are custom engineered for your specific application. Large mesh sizes can be used for unobtrusive sight lines, while smaller mesh sizes are often used to accomplish a certain visual appeal or design effect.
POSTS
The “GRIGLIATO” architectural screen system is available with a variety of different support structures and frames. Most frequently used are 2″x 2″ (or larger) square tubular supports, 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ rectangular supports, or flat bar braces. In addition, a variety of custom attachments, subframe designs, and support posts are available.
COATING
Depending on requirements mesh panels may be hot dip galvanized after fabrication and
coated with an architectural grade polyester powder coating system. Our coating system offers the highest durability available today resulting in lasting colors for many years. In addition to the best protection against rust and corrosion it is also environmentally friendlier (no solvents) than other technologies.
COLORS
The “GRIGLIATO” screen system is available in a variety of standard colors. Custom colors are available and special colors can be matched to color samples or other or existing building components. Click here for more color info.
WARRANTY
The “GRIGLIATO” Screen System is produced by utilizing state of the art manufacturing technology and is backed by our 20-year Manufacturer’s Warranty.

PP-PRODUCT PRESENTATION
The “Grigliato” screen system utilizes the strength and flexibility of the “Grigliato” panels from MFR .
The “Grigliato” System enables us to offer an affordable modular system, which is practical, durable and sturdy. This unique railing system provides a wide variety of design solutions. It can be brightly colored and configured to be a design feature or it can blend inconspicuously with the surroundings.
The “Grigliato” panels are ideally suited for retrofitting existing railing systems, which are not in compliance with current building codes.
“Grigliato” is an electro-forged welded steel panel. The panels are hot-dip galvanized according to ASTM A 123. Also available as an option is our extremely durable polyester powder finish.
Screen System
The MFR screen system can span between post supports or be mounted onto structurally suitable elements. Please contact MFR Manufacturing Corp for engineering and design assistance when preparing detail solutions.

AI-ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION
Posts can be attached to the structure below in several ways: Using the recessed method, posts are set into cored holes or sleeves and anchored with non-shrink grout.
Using the surface mount method, mounting plates attached to each post are expansion bolted to the structure below.
In the face mount method, the railing posts are mounted to the face of the structure typically below the level of the walking surface.
MF-MATERIALS, FINISHES
Thermosetting Polyester Powder Finish
MFR Fence and railing panels are protected by what we believe is the best finish available today. The computer controlled hot-dip galvanizing and the thermosetting polyester powder finish give the MFR System the highest possible protection against rust and corrosion.
The advanced polyester powder coating technology is environmentally friendly (no solvents, lead free) and offers a large color selection.
Colors
Eight standard colors are available: white, black, blue, green, red, yellow, gray and brown. Additionally, we offer an almost unlimited selection of custom colors. The polyester powder coating is available for all our products including oversized parts, i.e. large gates.
20-Year Limited Warranty
MFR fencing systems are free from defects in material and workmanship.
The hot-dip galvanized coating can leave minor impurities on the treated surface, i.e., flashing, drips, drops, etc. These do not impair the coating in terms of corrosion resistance. The polyester coated galvanized metal is guaranteed not to rust, crack, peel or blister for a period of 10 years. Accidental damages, defects resulting from improper installation and damage from vandalism or abuse are not included. Warranty is limited to a prorated value of the coating, not to exceed the original value of the coating.

Powder Coating is Eco Friendly
Our Powder Coatings are environmentally friendly and are an organic high quality finished surface providing integrity, durability, and a beautiful appearance over an extended period of time.
Powder Coating has been proven to be safer for the environment than wet paint applications. Most wet paints have solvents that are harmful to the environment. However, powder coat is solvent-free and applied electrostatically.
Ecologically there are no VOCs emitted and very little waste is produced because most powder coating overspray can be reused, greatly reducing the waste commonly found in liquid painting.
Environmental Impact of Powder Coating
Despite all the care that is taken to protect the environment, there are still benefits to be gained.
More importantly, the long term effect of powder coating the product for corrosion protection. Our coating system protects the metals which are exposed to the project conditions, which in turn enjoy a longer lifetime and require far less maintenance. Decay and early replacement of parts are prevented or at best minimized.
In the long run, powder coating will replace its counterpart, wet paint, in more and more areas. Technically, powder coating competes with wet paint head to head. In addition, powder coating is more friendly to the environment than wet paint, for the same cost, yet powder coating also has the advantage of superior mechanical and anti-corrosive properties. Whereas wet paint is all washed up!
Another advantage of using powder coatings is the subtraction of solvents. The powder is applied without any additives. The harmful emission of V.O.C., as used in wet paint, does not occur. The environment also benefits from the electrostatic adhesion of the metal to the powder particles. This adhesion creates a smooth and even layer that covers the edges of the metal object. This eliminates sharp edges that need to be ground into shape. The powder, not attracted to the substrate is contained and reused. Wet paint overspray has to be disposed of as chemical waste.
