Home - Stainless Steel Decorative Wire Mesh – Durable & Custom
If you’re weighing options for stainless steel decorative wire mesh, you’ll notice a quiet but steady shift: architects want openness and light, but they also want durable shading and proven safety. That’s where cable-and-rod meshes like the HJS-S252 have been punching above their weight. I’ve watched them move from boutique hotels into mainstream transit hubs—honestly, the adoption curve is steeper than many expected.
Model: Stainless Steel Cable Wire for Building Curtain Wall HJS-S252. Built in Shijiazhuang, Hebei (Room 2303, Block C, Wanda Office Building, No. 121 Huai’an East Road, Yuhua District, China). It’s a familiar format: longitudinal cables, transverse rods—clean lines, consistent pitch.
| Parameter | HJS-S252 Spec | Notes (≈ real‑world) |
|---|---|---|
| Material grades | SS 304 / 316 / 316L | 316L favored for coastal sites |
| Cable diameter | 2.5 mm | 7×7 or 7×19 lay, project-dependent |
| Cable pitch | 6.0 mm | Tight rhythm; good sun-cut |
| Rod diameter / pitch | 2.0 mm / 8.0 mm | Rigid profile, clean shadow lines |
| Weight | 7.2 kg/m² | Around ±5% by finish |
| Open area | ≈ 60–65% | Varies with tension/frame |
| Service life | Inland 30+ yrs; Coastal 15–25 yrs (316L) | Maintenance and pollution affect outcomes |
| Finishes | Mill, brushed; PVD colors on request | Colorfastness varies; test mockups |
Materials: 304/316/316L wire/cable conforming to ASTM A580/A580M; rods from SS round wire ASTM A313. Cables are cut and swaged; rods are precision-straightened. Assembly is cable-rod interlock with micro-crimping; some runs add micro-TIG welds at edges (depends on panel size). Finishing includes degrease, passivation (ASTM A967), optional brushing or PVD. Inspection: pitch tolerance ±0.3 mm, panel squareness ≤2 mm/m, pull-test on cable terminations. Corrosion checks via ISO 9227 or ASTM B117 salt spray (typ. 240–500 h previews). Fire: stainless is noncombustible (EN 13501-1 A1).
Indicative test data (single 2.5 mm 316L cable): MBL ≈ 4.5–5.0 kN; panel connection shear > 1.2 kN per clip in lab rigs—your hardware will set the limit, so specify brackets carefully.
Curtain walls and sunscreens, transit concourses, hotel lobbies, stair balustrade infill (check local codes), retail ceilings, parking façades. Many customers say glare drops while daytime views stay open—honestly, that’s the charm of stainless steel decorative wire mesh.
| Vendor | Origin | Certs | Lead time | MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ares Material (HJS-S252) | Shijiazhuang, Hebei, CN | ISO 9001 docs on request | ≈ 2–5 weeks | Around 10–20 m² | Custom frames/clips available |
| EU Mesh Brand | EU | EN materials; CE marking | ≈ 4–8 weeks | 15–30 m² | Premium finishes; higher cost |
| US Distributor | US (stock/convert) | ASTM traceability | Stock to 3 weeks | By panel | Quick samples; limited patterns |
Panel sizing usually up to ~3 m width and 10 m length (real-world use may vary). Edge options: hemmed cables, welded frames, or clamp bars. For coastal builds, pick 316L and schedule a rinse plan; for interiors, 304 is fine and friendlier on budgets. If you’re combining stainless steel decorative wire mesh with LED backlighting, test a mockup—the rod pitch can create moiré with certain fixtures.
- Coastal hotel canopy, SE Asia: chose 316L; after 18 months and two typhoon seasons, tension held with minor salt film—rinse quarterly, no pitting observed.
- University atrium, Midwest US: HJS-S252 as balustrade infill; inspectors liked the rigidity and finger-proofing; GC said install time beat perforated panels by ~15%.
Feedback varies, but many report “softer daylight” yet no heavy-handed shading. To be honest, that balance is why stainless steel decorative wire mesh keeps winning specs.
