OUR STORY

An American Original

Cambridge Architectural evolved from a world-renowned American industrial wire belt manufacturer with a century of successful engineered solutions. Our roots remain on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, home to a fourth-generation of artisans dedicated to weaving metal mesh.

Our first architectural installation was at the iconic Seagram Building in New York City in 1957. Today, our craftsmen’s stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze and copper woven mesh is displayed in thousands of projects worldwide. 

From parking garages and pedestrian bridges to hotels, hospitals, stadiums and transit hubs, Cambridge metal fabrics transform building interiors and exteriors while providing important environmental, safety and energy-saving benefits.

WHY METAL MESH?

Mesh Delivers Results

Our woven metal fabric is beautiful and built to last, while providing a variety of functional applications.

“The mesh reduced the amount of solar heat gain, diminished glare, and lent an interesting and beautiful dimension to the building.”

OUR APPROACH

When working with the Cambridge team, architects and contractors can choose from two types of mesh systems to meet a wide range of design, material and budget specifications.

PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEMS

 
These six systems for common applications are fabricated in a variety of standard sizes and have shorter lead times. They require no Cambridge engineering consultation as long as the project designs stay within the mesh’s size constraints.

CUSTOM DESIGNED SYSTEMS

 
From concept development to installation, we offer full-scale project management and engineering services. With access to skilled artisans and creative engineering minds within our walls, we can help execute any architect or designer’s vision no matter the complexity.

INSPIRED BY GREAT DESIGN

Georgia BioScience Training Center

 

We infused stainless steel into the exterior design to capture the performance benefits of shading while expressing the client’s brand of a decidedly hi-tech facility. The mesh facets and plane changes provide a dynamic, crystalline aesthetic with ever-changing shadows and reflections that suggest a sense of movement.”

PROJECTS

Cambridge’s woven metal fabric has an uncanny knack for inspiring creative minds.

Perhaps it’s an ability to be open, yet closed at once. To reflect light directly and indirectly, brilliantly and diffusely together. To be rigid, or flexible. Or to be geometrically simplistic at a distance yet vexingly complex up close. Maybe it’s all these unique characteristics at work.
