Vapor® Goes Exterior: Your Favorite Patterns, Now Built for the Outdoors

Introducing Vapor® Exterior, a significant expansion of our flagship perforated metal panel collection. Our flagship Vapor® collection has established itself as a leading solution for interior applications, celebrated for its numerous patterns and contemporary design language. Now, that same visual sophistication is available for exterior use.

Vapor® Exterior brings proven design patterns to facades, soffits, and building envelopes, enabling seamless architectural continuity from interior to exterior spaces. 

Exterior Design Made Easier 

Previously available as a custom option through our Solutions Studio®, these outdoor panels have been standardized and are ready to specify, ready to install, and ready to perform. This process significantly speeds up the specification, ordering, production, and delivery of this exterior system.  

We’re launching with six popular Vapor® designs, with more pattern to come: 

• Cumula 
• Element 605 
• Frequency 
• Sky
• Solid 
• Trail 

Seamless Interior-to-Exterior Continuity 

The introduction of Vapor® Exterior allows designers and architects to achieve pattern continuity from interior to exterior. This cohesive design approach allows our clients to realize their creative visions without compromise, cultivating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This system is ideal for exterior facades, rain screens, canopies, and more. 

This capability is particularly valuable in transitional spaces such as covered walkways, atriums, and building entries where indoor and outdoor worlds converge. Optional exterior backlighting further expands creative possibilities, transforming facades into dynamic architectural statements. 

Outdoor Rated 

The panels are rated for standard exterior use and have been tested for wind loads. To handle the elements, Vapor® Exterior panels are offered in a variety of sizes and gauges. Select your preferred design in either: 2′ x 4′, 2.5′ x 4′, 2′ x 8′, 2.5′ x 8′. Additionally, you can specify in 0.6”, 0.9”, and 0.125” thickness.

This standard exterior collection is now available for specification through Arktura’s extensive network of sales representatives.
