Woven mesh is the type in which we specialize. Woven wire mesh is used in interior design for decorative screens and panels where partial obscuration of the view is required whilst also allowing the free flow of air. The most practical applications of wire mesh in interior design are for decorative grilles for radiator covers and for air vent covers for air conditioning systems.
Woven wire mesh for interiors is most often made from brass as this metal not only has its own natural beauty but also lends itself to colouring in a wide variety of ways. Due to its high copper content brass can be professionally polished and patinated by ourselves to look any age between brand new and years old. It can also undergo a bronzing process to look like aged or antique bronze metal or plated with chrome or nickel to achieve a variety of shades and gloss levels of silver. Nickel is particularly popular as it provides a warmer silver than chrome.
None of these colouring and plating processes detract from the elegant and timeless form of the woven structure of the decorative mesh panels themselves, in fact most of them enhance it.
Decorative woven mesh can also be made from aluminium or stainless steel. Stainless steel is the strongest of the standard woven mesh materials. Both the brass and the stainless steel woven wire mesh can be made in round or flat wires. These types of woven mesh can be further embellished with ‘reeding’. A flat wire than has been reeded will have decorative lines running along its length. Woven mesh that has this type of decoration on the wires is called reeded and wire mesh that has no reeding is referred to as plain. The reeded wire tends to make a mesh panel look more detailed and slightly busier than its plain counterpart.
