What is Metal Mesh?

Metal mesh, also known as architectural mesh or metal fabric, is a woven metal material used for various interior and exterior applications including cladding, space division (dividing or sculpting space), ventilation, solar shading, infill and a variety of other uses. 

Woven metal mesh is designed and engineered specifically for architectural purposes, and is fastened to a structure with attachment hardware designed for each type of metal mesh application.  Metal mesh varies in rigidity and flexibility, ranging from a completely closed, rigid metal, to a flexible weave with varying degrees of open area.  Specific patterns of metal mesh are specified for different purposes, depending on the application.  Metal mesh also varies in translucency and weight. 

The options for incorporating metal mesh into building design are truly limitless, as the unique material lends itself to the architect’s imagination.  Metal mesh is commonly woven in stainless steel, but can also be woven from copper, bronze, brass and other alloys.  For unique aesthetic appeal and supreme functionality, consider metal mesh.
