Functionality paired with looks.
In addition to function, an aesthetically pleasing appearance is an important consideration for builders and users of rental properties. Unsightly recesses under window sills or old, bulky radiators can be elegantly panelled without affecting function or use. Especially when older buildings need to be renovated for today’s requirements with the help of modern technology, not all the relics of the glorious past can be adapted without a lot of effort and considerable financial resources.
For recesses under windows (as well as with older radiators that are to be retained), there are nevertheless some very visually pleasing and affordable solutions. Dado panelling can be realised with either panel cladding made of coated sheet steel or aluminium slats. Whether straight or slanted slats are used for this is a matter of taste.
