What are the corrosion resistance, maintenance, lifecycle and sustainable benefits of stainless metal fabric or stainless mesh?

Widely known for its functionality, durability and distinctive look, Cambridge woven stainless metal fabric is a sustainable building material that reduces environmental strain.  Additionally, Cambridge’s manufacturing processes meet or exceed standards for safety, storm/ground water protection, resource management, wastewater reduction and raw material recycling. Stainless metal fabric also requires minimal maintenance and cleaning after installation, with its life cycle far outlasting that of alternative products.
 
Each of Cambridge’s seven architectural mesh systems serves a different function in realizing sustainable building design.  For example, a Cambridge Solar mesh system conserves energy and significantly reduces solar glare, light pollution and solar heat gain, while promoting airflow and building security. Even the manufacturing process for architectural stainless mesh systems, a cold forming process, creates a lower environmental impact than the process for heat treated products.
 
Cambridge also continues to develop and promote architectural stainless mesh systems that will meet the most current credit requirements of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building and Sustainable Design Rating System, specifically in the New Construction (NC) category. Because many credit categories require integration with other products, Cambridge also provides consultation and direction on a project-by-project basis to maximize LEED-NC credits.
