Custom Cut-Out Panels for Co-Living Spaces: Functional Zoning Meets Personalized Identity

Today’s co-living environments are complex—serving as private residences, social zones, creative studios, and sometimes all in the same day. Custom cut-out panels are revolutionizing how space is divided, ventilated, and personalized in co-living interiors. More than decorative elements, these panels define how people interact with space and each other.

1. From Dorms to Designer: Why Cut-Out Panels Work

Unlike static walls or curtains, aluminum cut-out panels:

• Allow daylight to permeate across living zones

• Enable airflow, reducing humidity and odor buildup

• Provide privacy without isolating

• Serve as visual identity features for each unit

They meet ASTM E90 acoustic separation ratings and ISO 16890 for airflow design compatibility.

2. Adaptability Across Co-Living Scenarios

Cut-out panels can be used in:

• Shared kitchen dividers to prevent splatter while maintaining line-of-sight

• Bedroom corner zoning to create private study areas

• Entry foyer shielding to add soft separation

Panels like our Decorative Perforated Panels can be combined with Anti-Slip Floor Panels for walkways or kitchen zones.

3. Real Case: London Co-Living Concept “NovaFlat”

Scenario: A refurbished industrial building converted into 18 co-living units with shared lounge, study, and kitchen.

Challenge: Exposed ceilings caused echo; initial plywood dividers blocked air and light.

Solution: We installed modular custom cut-out panels with hex-grid and botanical motifs, treated with matte powder black finish. Ventilation grilles were integrated into the panels for passive airflow.

Result:

• Temperature improved by 2.4°C through natural air movement

• Noise complaints reduced by 52% (resident data)

• Residents began personalizing panels with magnetic boards and hooks

4. Installation & Mounting Systems

• Rail Track Mount: Panels glide open/close

• Fixed Clip Frame: Used for wall-mounted dividers

• Ceiling Float Mount: Allows panels to hover above floor

All mounting complies with ASCE load-bearing systems and ASA structural vibration limits.

5. Finish & Safety Options

Standard surface treatments include:

• PVD mirror gold for high-end spaces

• Matte color coatings (black, white, bronze)

• Fire-resistant coatings per ASTM E84

6. Engagement Through Environment

Panels serve as social features:

• Personal display zones (plants, books)

• Community info walls (events, labels)

• Sound privacy in shared Zoom areas

They combine well with Acoustic Panels for enhanced zoning.

Hook – Empower Your Co-Living Vision
