Our patented process
2013 received Lunova GmbH the patent.
FOTOBLECH Includes: Fine Checkered Pattern
Inside Out. Discover the versatility of Fotoblech!
Our powerful tool allows you to create not only square, round, and triangular perforations, but also diamond-shaped ones.
The result? A sophisticated design that enhances any balcony.
With Fotoblech, you can unleash your creativity and add perfect accents.
Let yourself be inspired!

Square and triangular perforation with a downward vertical flow that is opaque.
FOTOBLECH Special: Sloping sheets at their best
Patterns in a new form. With Fotoblech, the rows and columns of the perforated sheets can be adapted to the outer shape - even if it is not rectangular.
No matter whether it is a generated pattern from one of our pattern generators or a converted image template.
The hole sizes adapt to this as well.
This makes it very easy to implement slopes in fences, sloping walls or perspective effects without the edges "fraying" or showing unwanted staircase effects.

Pattern generator Hexagon
The hexagon pattern uses the natural 60 degree diagonals of a perforated sheet with staggered rows.
Different sized perforations combined with a variety of filters create delightful vibrant patterns.

Fotoblech-Frame: China 1
Give your patterns a frame. Here you can see an example with the frame "China 1" (20.555).
The frames can be combined with all patterns, are fully parameterized in the desired frame thickness and spacing, and are compatible with all photo sheet filters.

FOTOBLECH - Ornaments
Wrought iron railings reinterpreted. A modern-surface design with reminiscence on Viennese building traditions.
New function: Selective probabilities
Dynamically controlled perforation probability
If needed, we can control the probability of punching a hole or not depending on the potential hole size.
Small holes tend not to be punched. Large holes are more likely.
This results in a reduction of the number of punched holes by approx. 50% with a high contrast of the image at the same time.
Privacy screen in the entrance area
As here, photo sheets can be used to set accents and make statements. Functional and aesthetic at the same time.

Implementation: Brüder Resch Hoch- u. Tiefbau
Double-shell curved and interconnected elements create a lively motif that offers different impressions depending on the viewing direction. The contours of the free-standing figures were lasered. Figures at night
FOTOBLECH - Coarse perforation with fine transitions
Sharp transitions. The transitions between the hole sizes are calculated in such a way that they appear sharp and there are no steps in the slopes.
Project number: 210520-01
Our pattern generator pulls the stripes: stripes
Stripe pattern with tiles of random horizontal or vertical alignment in which individual areas visually merge into a conglomerate.
The tile sizes and their spacing are freely selectable.

FOTOBLECH-Balconies in Vienna Liesing, Eschenpark
Floral pattern. An abstract floral pattern cascades over all parts so that the pattern runs continuously.
Due to the pattern arrangement, different high railings form a uniform image.
Optimum transparency. By sampling on a scale of 1:1, the optimum transparency can be determined in advance.
This can be controlled almost arbitrarily and is usually between 20 and 25%.

FOTOBLECH Special: Photo sheets with frame
Give your photo sheets a frame. A range of different frame shapes give visual support to the content.
The frame shape supports the desired expression, for example as a picture or fence panel.
The sheets themselves provide the frame for the sheets. The visually reduced evenness is maintained and not interrupted by uprights or substructures.
Example 1: Coten steel with "Gradient" pattern, jitter effect and frame "balcony01"
Example 2: Galvanised steel with floral pattern and "Balcony02" frame with vertical struts
FOTOBLECH-Railing in Vienna 22, Baranygasse
Generated pattern. A balcony railing from our "White Noise" pattern generator.
The square perforation runs in straight rows with only one hole size with a probability of 60%.
Made-to-measure unique items. All railing fields are calculated individually and the perforation fits exactly into the specified dimensions.
Although the fields are of different lengths in detail, the overall picture is homogeneous.
Motif collection: floral foliage
Floral motifs are very popular with us.
That is why we have put together 10 floral foliage motifs in a catalog.
With similar transparency and hole density, they are easy to compare.
All motifs on an area of 3 * 2m.

Transparency as desired
The transparency of the sheets can be controlled as desired.
Balcony railings are very typical here: In the lower area it should usually be denser than above.
We can control the transparency of the surface, whether from a photo template or generated by our pattern generator, see photos.
Our software also calculates the free area for each photo sheet.
Facade of the town hall in Meschede
The facade was clad with Fotoblech, which show an abstract wave-shaped pattern with rough perforations.

It doesn't always have to be "just" a Fotoblech...
The results of our pattern generators can not only be used for photo sheets.
Numerous providers use the motifs for a wide variety of purposes:
Photo pillows, puzzles, towels, T-shirts and much more.
The output format PDF 1: 1 supports you optimally.
Here is the Pattern generator
Railing motif from the perforated sheet pattern generator
Freely selectable line spacing
Normally, the line spacing results automatically from the selected hole spacing.
Now the distances can be freely selected and great effects can be achieved, as can be seen here in examples in combination with the "Jitter" function.

Pattern Hook: Creating hooks with FOTOBLECH
The pattern 'Hook' is characterized by geometric shapes at a 45-degree angle, formed by interconnected hook-like chains with irregular hole sizes.
The design can be either sculptural and space-defining or abstract, depending on the configuration.

fit2pattern: What doesn't fit - is made to fit ...
Usually, repeating patterns do not fit exactly on the given area.
With the fit2pattern function, however, we can adapt the patterns exactly in both directions.
The drawn areas and lines remain sharply outlined.

Creative design ideas with perforated plates
Perforated sheets offer many original, high quality decorative possibilities for the design of facades and privacy protection for indoor and outdoor use. With FOTOBLECH you give a building expression. Functions of the components are visible.
Here are some examples of the scope of FOTOBLECH
- Perforated sheets in facade design
An aluminum facade wins with a perforated metal punching on appeal. - Perforated sheets for the fence design
A fence made of perforated metal elements is not only weather resistant and provides the desired privacy,
but also has a highly decorative. - Perforated plates made of stainless steelas a screen:
Stainless steel blinds with metal stampings in decorative patterns or with stamped lettering can be customized and is a real eye-catcher.
