Typical Mesh Types

Adriatic

Adriatic

Single pre-crimped woven wires are woven together with sets of three wires in the opposite direction to produce an attractive, engineered 64% open area mesh. Used in combination with Avon perforated metal at Bouverie place shopping centre, Folkestone, and Cork County Hall, Ireland, Adriatic is still one of the most successful and well-used meshes with countless projects to its name.

Ocean Light

Ocean Light

This cable mesh is a robust finely woven material with an open area of approximately 30%. Used to enclose ceiling mounted chillier units at Leadenhall Street, London the scale of the weave is large enough to make an impression when viewed from floor level.

Lamelle

Lamelle

Used to clad the soffit at the entrance of Milton Keynes Theatre, this cable mesh has a fine weave and an open area of approximately 53%. The mesh follows a pre-formed curved substructure to create a gentle radius away from the glass façade and includes down light fittings.

Garda

Garda

This pre-crimped stainless steel woven wire mesh has an open area of approximately 70%. Its simple design and relatively lightweight construction helps to make it an economical solution. Framed with flat steel members, Garda mesh fins form the feature façade to Greyfriars Road MSCP, Cardiff.

Niagra

Niagra

Round wire is spiralled and woven together to create this flexible mesh. With a transparent open area of 69% and having sun shielding depth due to the spiral nature of it’s structure, Niagara mesh is successfully used as brise soleil on buildings at Oxford Science Park and Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Horsham. It also acts as rainscreen cladding at Emirates Stadium, North London.

Coniston

Coniston

Pre-crimped woven mesh is used on a large number of projects including MSCP feature cladding, brise soleil and rainscreen cladding. Coniston is woven in a rectangular form with single round diameter wires in opposite directions. Examples of projects using Coniston are Westgate offices, Barnsley, Abbey Estate, London and Bath University.

Avon

Avon

Perforated stainless steel, mild steel or aluminium is a versatile solution for cladding buildings and forming barriers. The mesh is available in numerous hole sizes, hole shapes and grid patterns. Choice of thickness is influenced by panel sizes and material type. Avon mesh with circular holes was used as cladding at Lisson Green, London, Whitehaven MSCP and Lower Precinct MSCP, Coventry.

Amazon

Amazon

This versatile pre-crimped woven mesh manufactured from round diameter wires is used as rainscreen cladding and feature cladding. The wire pitches can be increased or reduced to vary the open area according to project requirements. Used at The Rope Walk Nuneaton the Boundary Metal CableScreen system with Amazon mesh provides cost effective MSCP screening solutions.

Congo 1

Congo 1

Used on at Princesshay shopping centre, Exeter, this 66% open area cable mesh creates a vale to the façade of the building and contrasts with the internal pre-crimped mesh layer giving a fascinating moiré effect when viewed from inside the building. Lighting between the mesh layers enhances the development at night.

Euphrates

Euphrates

Stainless steel round bars woven into multi-strand cables in the opposite direction enable this 62% open area mesh to cover large areas of façade in one continuous curtain. Used on a number of projects including the MSCP at the Oncology department at St James Hospital, Leeds provides a very distinctive rainscreen.

Neptune

Neptune

This fine weave woven mesh comprises wires with multi crimps in both directions, which results in a surface with lots of texture. It’s scale and amount of detail per square metre makes it a great choice for interior applications and is used as suspended ceilings at the Red Bull offices in Soho, London.

Omega 1510

Omega 1510

This is a cable mesh comprising round bars crimped before being woven together with cables in the opposite direction. The result is a fine, engineered metal fabric ideal for interiors where fine detail will be noticed. This mesh is used for wall cladding in the reception at Leadenhall Street, London.

Cable mesh

Cable mesh

Groups of three multi-strand cables are woven together with circular wire to produce curtains of stainless steel mesh. This type of façade provides a rainscreen at the same time as allowing fumes to exhaust in case of emergency in escape route zones and stair cores. Installed at Wembley Stadium above turnstile areas the mesh maintains continuity with the façade perimeter.
