VisioMod Trama — Rhombus Pattern Aluminium Fence

Name: PONARC GmbH
Address: DE

Formerly known as Trama Rhombus Relief Fence

VF-TRA

Rhombus-pattern aluminium fence with 35 mm relief depth — the boundary that reads as architecture. 200 × 100 mm rhombus elements stack in a staggered pattern that is solid privacy from the street and shifting shadow texture up close. The same pattern animates differently across the day as the sun moves across the facade. Heights 1800 / 2000 mm, Qualicoat Class 2 in any RAL or three woodgrain laminates (Walnut, Oak, Wenge). Designed for facade-integrated boundaries on contemporary villas and Corten-style architecture. A textural alternative to flat aluminium panels and perforated screens.

Engineering overview

VisioMod Trama is a deep-relief aluminium privacy panel built from individual rhombus elements measuring 200 by 100 millimetres, stacked in a staggered diamond pattern that projects 35 millimetres forward from the back plane. The relief is the entire point. From a distance of ten metres or more the panel reads as a solid, opaque boundary delivering full privacy and acoustic softening; step within three metres and the same surface dissolves into a textured grid of shadow and highlight, each rhombus catching light along two facets and dropping the other two into shade. This double-read is what separates Trama from any flat extruded panel and is why it is specified almost exclusively on contemporary architecture where the boundary is intended to participate in the building's material language rather than retreat from it. The 35 mm depth is engineered to track the sun. At low morning and evening angles the rhombus edges throw long diagonal shadows across the facade of the panel itself, animating the boundary through the day; at midday the relief flattens visually and the surface reads as a uniform field of texture. Specifiers can choose between Qualicoat Class 2 powder coat in any RAL reference, or one of three woodgrain sublimation laminates: Walnut for warm domestic settings, Oak for lighter Scandinavian and coastal palettes, and Wenge for darker contemporary schemes where the relief geometry is intended to dominate over colour. The woodgrain finishes are applied after forming so the grain follows each rhombus facet individually, reinforcing the three-dimensional read. On long boundary runs Trama solves a problem flat panels cannot: scale without monotony. A 30 metre run of flat aluminium reads as a wall; the same run in Trama reads as a textile, with the staggered stacking producing a continuous diagonal rhythm that carries the eye along the boundary rather than stopping it. This makes Trama particularly suited to facade-integrated boundaries on contemporary villas, where the fence is conceived as an extension of the building envelope, and to long perimeter runs on hospitality and residential developments where visual relief is needed at architectural scale.

Architectural integration

Reading on the facade

The 35 mm relief is the design tool. At 8 to 10 a.m. and again from 5 p.m. onwards, low sun angles throw long diagonal shadows across the rhombus field, turning the boundary into an animated surface that complements rather than competes with planting. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. the relief flattens visually and the panel reads as a uniform textured plane, so the boundary recedes when the garden or terrace is most actively used. For anthracite RAL specifications (RAL 7016, 7021, 9005) the relief reads as graphic and architectural, well suited to minimalist concrete and render facades. For the three woodgrain laminates the relief reads as a textile or weave, well suited to stone, brick and softer landscape settings. Trama pairs particularly well with Cristallo full-height glass at the lower 900 mm of a boundary, with Trama above to 2000 mm, producing a layered boundary that is transparent at planting level and textural at sightline level.

Installation

Foundation & site notes

Foundations are sized for the higher dead load: Trama panels weigh approximately 30 to 35 percent more than flat equivalents at the same span due to the relief geometry and forming. C25/30 concrete pad foundations 600 by 600 by 800 mm minimum at every post, with deeper pads on exposed sites at the 1.4 kN/m² wind class. Adjacent-panel alignment is critical: the staggered rhombus pattern must continue across post lines without break, so panels are supplied paired and indexed at the factory and installers must respect the indexing during set-out. Concealed post fixings preserve the continuous shadow reading; surface-fixed brackets are not specified at Signature tier. Gate post integration with Porta uses a heavier post section to carry both the gate hardware and the adjacent Trama panel without alignment drift over time.
