Windows don't provide enough sun protection for your outdoor/indoor space, but you want natural light — without worrying about constantly cleaning curtains. Wire mesh could be your fix-all solution while adding a tinge of stylistic flair to your architecture.
Keep reading to learn why architectural mesh is the breakout architectural material you should use in your next project.
Architectural wire mesh is also referred to as architectural wire cloth. This material is factory-made with woven wire to form uniform, parallel spaces, and symmetrical gaps. It can be made with a variety of materials, but Locker uses low-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and nickel.
Decorative mesh provides design professionals with the perfect combination of style and function. It can separate one area from another, like a wall, and allow natural airflow and light through a space, like a window with curtains.
Wire mesh is a versatile material that offers a wide range of exterior and interior applications while lending itself to timeless elegance and a modern appearance.
Metal woven wire can add beautiful elements to your building. From car parks to cladding, enclosures, and balustrades, wire mesh has a multifaceted look that can fit into any project. It is perfect for outdoor uses because of its durability in the face of extreme weather conditions and resistance to corrosion. This material is easy to maintain and can be customized to reduce metal waste.
Designing an outdoor space with this adaptable material is easy and can bring a building to life. Layer the woven wire to create a rippled effect or manipulate it into a shape that aligns with the architectural design vision. Wire mesh can be used around pools, playgrounds, sports venues, and many other structures that utilize safety and security fencing.
Wrap the entire exterior of a building facade or just a few sides of it with cable metal mesh to protect the building from environmental exposure while changing its presentation. Cladding is not used for the wall itself but as an added "coat" in front of the wall. This creates incredible depth and uniqueness. This is a great use for offices, lobbies, and even elevators to improve the look of otherwise ordinary spaces.
You can use wire mesh for function as well. An infill panel can work in tandem with your railing system. You can create a protective barrier to fill the large open area for pedestrians while directing high-trafficked areas. The railing contributes to the overall aesthetic of the area while maintaining transparency.
Want to increase the high visibility properties of an outdoor space while maintaining airflow? Give pedestrians and visitors a chance to experience the outdoors with an architectural wire mesh canopy. You can easily manipulate the material to construct a fascinating design element while creating shade and shelter. Architectural canopies create a sense of playfulness or luxury in a space that can be a point of interest for the overall design.
If you're ready to impress and inspire onlookers, use wire mesh in your next project. Modern design has created a path for wire mesh to add a sense of luxury to ceiling style. It can add texture, vastness, or intimacy to a space as it works seamlessly with various lighting and privacy needs.
