Decorative Metal Panels: How Laser Cutting Transforms Design

Laser cutting has revolutionised the way we think about decorative metal panels. What once required time-consuming manual work can now be achieved with precision and finesse — turning flat sheets of metal into striking design features. This copper hedgehog gate sign is a perfect example of how laser cutting can be used to craft decorative, functional pieces with character and personality


At MS Laser Services, we create laser cut decorative metal panels from metals like brass, copper, zinc, and steel, each cut to your unique pattern or artwork. Whether you’re designing for an interior wall, retail backdrop, screen divider, or architectural façade, our panels blend form with function.


Bespoke Decorative Metal Panels for Interiors, Exteriors & Art Projects


From ornamental wall panels to functional room dividers, laser cut metal offers endless applications in both residential and commercial settings. Every project starts with your design — we simply bring it to life using state-of-the-art fibre laser technology.

We can produce:

  • Decorative wall panels
  • Privacy screens & dividers
  • Metal artwork & installations
  • Architectural façade features
  • Branded or patterned metal panels

Our team also works closely with designers, architects, and makers to explore how custom metal patterns can elevate a space — whether through repetition, organic geometry, or branded motifs.


Intricate Designs, Crisp Edges, Perfect Repeats

Our laser machine cuts with remarkable accuracy, even on fine filigree-style patterns and repeating motifs. We can produce:

  • Traditional scrollwork
  • Geometric and modern abstract styles
  • Nature-inspired cut-outs (leaves, waves, organic forms)
  • Branded pattern repeats
  • Typography or integrated signage within panels

The result? Panels that look hand-crafted but are scalable, repeatable, and consistent.

Choose Your Metal: Brass, Copper, Zinc, Steel & More

  • Brass panels – Warm-toned and timeless, available in natural, mirror, brushed, hammered, or antique finishes.
  • Copper panels – Rich, earthy, and ideal for aged or patinated looks.
  • Zinc panels – Understated elegance with light or dark patinas for industrial appeal.
  • Steel panels – Raw, brushed, or corten-style weathered finishes for a robust, architectural edge.

Need help choosing? We can advise on finishes, thicknesses, and how the metal will behave in indoor vs outdoor environments.


Panel Sizes & Thicknesses We Can Cut

We use a large-format fibre laser cutter with a bed size of 3 metres x 1.5 metres, allowing us to produce substantial decorative panels in a single piece. This is ideal for architectural applications such as full-height wall panels, screens, and facades.

We typically work with metal sheet thicknesses up to 3.0mm, depending on the material and design detail. Our team can advise on the best thickness and metal type for your specific project.

Finishes That Add Character to Decorative Metal Panels

In addition to cutting, we can apply:

  • Patina finishes (aged, antique, rustic)
  • Mirror polishing
  • Satin textures
  • Clear lacquer for protection

These finishing options help align the panel with your space — whether you’re designing for a luxury boutique, a public sculpture, or a decorative home feature.
