The origins of woven wire mesh in architecture and design are based on industrial applications involving filtration and separation. More recently architecture has adopted these materials for their outstanding visual impact, strength and versatility. Cadisch have a range of woven meshes that have been designed with the GKD materials in mind. Although there are already standard fixing methods for such products companies like Cadisch have shown that you can individually create a fixing to suit the need of the application. The increased use of these materials in architecture and design has led to a number of innovations and exciting new products.
Product properties
As a raw material woven wire mesh (

The variety of weaves allows the issues of transparency, acoustics and airflow to be resolved through the correct choice of mesh.
Creative lighting accentuates the visual impact of the material from simple lighting to full image projection as recently showcased on the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain.
The pre-crimped expanded metal and welded meshes have many of the aesthetics and acoustic properties of the cable meshes with the additional benefits of natural rigidity. Designed to be more effective over smaller areas, these meshes are ideal for balustrading and screening applications.
Very high quality mesh can be made from high-grade 316 steel, which is suitable almost all environments and offers the greatest resistance against corrosion and discolouration.
