Mesh quality

Quality Wire Co. W.L.L., stock and sell architectural wire mesh consist of round or flat wires or cables. Generally, stainless steel is used, if required also aluminum, bronze, copper and brass. As in textile weaving, the warp wires, which run length- wise in the woven roll or panel, are interwoven in various patterns with crosswire weft wire on special technical weaving looms in compliance with international standards.

The properties of the wire mesh products can be precisely pre- determined through combination of the individual mesh specifications listed above. Technically speaking, wire meshes are extremely versatile and are widely used not only in many industrial applications as filters, screen or process belts, but also in architecture, particularly for facades, wall and ceilings or for partition walls. With respect to floors, it is also possible to use finely structured stainless steel wire mesh as a matting which can be laid straight onto the concrete without any preparatory measures. The material is practically maintenance free, has an almost unlimited service life and is completely recyclable.

Mesh Types

Cable Meshes

Cable meshes are wire mish types in which the warp consists of cables and the weft of monofilament wire. Such wire meshes are very flexible along the warp and can be rolled for delivery. In weft direction, the wire diameter determines the extent of transversal stability of the mesh.

External facades, sunscreens, ceilings, walls partitions, balustrades, flooring, column claddings, roller shutters.

Precrimped meshes are woven with monofilament wires in both warp and weft directions. This generally produces wire mesh panels which are relatively resistant to bending. Precrimped meshes can be made of wires of all different geometrics, for example round wire, flat wire, profiled wire and flat band. They are often made in analogy with the patterns of cable mashes so different mesh types can be easily combined.

• Warp crimped, straight weft
• Warp crimped, crimped weft
• Warp straight, crimped weft

These meshes are woven from spirals and have the unique property that there no limits to possible widths and lengths. Theoretically, the spirals can be woven endlessly, thus allowing even circular structures to be clad. Spiral meshes can be rolled for transportation. The maximum size of the panels is thus again limited only by the available means of transportation (diameter and length of the wire mesh rolls).

External facades, sunscreens.

Mesh Types

Crystal Weave is a wire mesh where cut Swarovski crystals have been “Woven into” the mesh surface in axial symmetry. This is done by removing weft wires from the woven material at regular intervals and replacing them with lines of crystals which fit exactly into the free spaces. This means that the wire mesh can be rolled. Architectural wire meshes always tend to absorb a certain amount of light, which results in one side o the mesh being shaded. In the case of Crystal Weave, however, the crystals act as optical waveguides and thus from an active light transmitter between the two sides of the mesh. The shading effect usually typical of wire mesh is reduced.

Balustrades, Walls partition walls. Cellings, column claddings.
