Traditional architectural wire mesh is predominantly composed of regular metal wires arranged in both horizontal and vertical ways. These wires are interwoven to create a durable and robust mesh suitable for a wide range of architectural applications.

In contrast to the conventional woven wire architectural options, the innovative METART-WWD series provides architects and designers with a more flexible alternative during the architectural design process. This series of decorative mesh employs a unique weaving technique, using stainless steel as the primary material. In this approach, straightened stainless steel rods and stainless steel cables are combined in precise proportions to create an artistic wire mesh integrating both SS wires and SS cables. This distinctive product is known as architectural decorative cable mesh.

The flexibility of the stainless steel rope used in the METART-WWD series offers numerous advantages. This one-way-flexible architectural product can be easily manipulated by users or fabricators to achieve the desired shape and form, enabling the creation of unique and eye-catching design features.

One notable example within the METART-WWD series is the METART-WWD03, the most cost-effective choice for use as a screen or curtain wall infill panel material. It features an optimal combination of 1.5mm diameter stainless steel rods and groups of four strands of 0.75mm stainless steel cables. These components are woven together in an aesthetically pleasing distribution pattern, resulting in a visually appealing and functional architectural decorative cable wire mesh product.

Architectural Applications - Interior and Exterior Decoration:

The 1.5mm diameter wire rod provides sufficient strength and rigidity for both interior and exterior architectural projects. Once tensioned, the cable stainless steel architectural wire screen can be employed for a variety of purposes, such as partition wall screens, shop shading screens, and staircase decorative screen infill materials, and it can be also used for facade screen infills. But other reinforced options, like 2mm rods or 3mm rods would be more suitable and recommended for an exterior building facade.

Industrial Applications:
In addition to its architectural uses, the WWD03 cable wire mesh can also serve as a conveyor belt in food processing and other industries. Its stainless steel construction ensures hygiene and durability, making it a suitable choice for applications that require frequent cleaning and exposure to various environmental conditions.

How to choose the correct material?

The use of stainless steel ensures excellent corrosion resistance, longevity, and low maintenance requirements, making it a popular choice for various facade applications, including screens, curtain walls, and sun shading.

SS304:

This is the most widely used stainless steel type for interior decoration. It offers a balance of corrosion resistance and affordability, making it an excellent choice for general-purpose applications.

SS316:

For exterior facade projects or applications in harsh environments, marine grade 316 stainless steel is strongly recommended. It provides superior corrosion resistance due to the addition of molybdenum, making it particularly suitable for coastal or high-salinity settings.

SS201:

Although SS201 is a more economical option for interior use, it is not generally recommended due to its lower corrosion resistance compared to SS304 and SS316. However, if cost is a primary concern, SS201 can be produced upon request.

When selecting the appropriate stainless steel material for your project, it is essential to consider factors such as the environment, application, and budget. By carefully evaluating these aspects, you can ensure that you choose the most suitable material for your specific requirements.
