Versatility is the main feature of wire mesh. They can be used indoors, such as on ceilings and walls, or outdoors to cover railings or wrap around an entire building. In addition to the many possible applications, the material is also versatile: depending on the choice of warp and weft threads and the type of weave, a single mesh with a specific look and light effect is obtained, which can be further expanded with different materials or colored mesh surfaces. Another notable quality of this material is the safety it provides, whether it be pavement parapets, walkway axles, central atriums, elevated play areas, multi-storey car parks, and indoor or outdoor stairs.
        Also commonly referred to as “wire cloth”, “wire mesh” or “wire cloth”, it is a mesh made from high strength 316 stainless steel in which the individual wires are woven together to form various patterns. A highly impact-resistant, durable surface that protects against accidental falls and intentional climbing, as well as throwing stones and objects from a height, thus avoiding serious accidents.
        In addition, with its attractive lightweight design and high transparency, wire mesh is a very discrete design addition, translucent and lightweight, and can also be dyed and illuminated at night. It is an efficient and transparent partition that simultaneously provides visibility, light and air circulation.
        Take, for example, the Lisieux railway station in France. “Pierre Lépinay Architecture focused on the aesthetic and functional properties of the HAVER Architectural Mesh. For the undulating side walls of the footbridge, the architects chose to use corrosion-resistant stainless steel painted mesh elements to create a strong, safe, durable bridge cladding. The architectural grid HAVER DOKA-MONO 1421 Vario was used, developed specifically for this project according to the individual technical specifications of the client.”
        At the Imagerie Médicale Ducloux in Brive-la-Gaillard, France, the metal mesh acts both as an effective sun protection and as an aesthetic covering for the glazed façade, unifying the entire volume. “MULTI-BARRETTE 8123 wire mesh reflects UV rays and has an open mesh area of ​​approximately 64%, allowing for good air circulation, which prevents heat from building up in front of the glass curtain wall. Despite the sun protection function of the curtain wall cladding, the view from the outside is good, the rooms have plenty of daylight.”
        On the Pfaffental footbridge in Luxembourg, Steinmetzdemeyer architectes urbanistes used HAVER Architectural Mesh for the side and ceiling cladding. “The braided cables give the mesh flexibility and structure, while the rods provide stability and create uniform reflections, and thanks to its 64% open area, the MULTI-BARRETTE 8123 cable mesh allows you to view Kirchberg and Pfaffenthal without interference.”
        Haver & Boecker was founded in 1887 in Germany and produced braided wires from 13 µm to 6.3 mm in diameter. HAVER Architectural Mesh is exceptionally durable, reducing replacement costs and easy to install. It is virtually maintenance-free thanks to the use of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and reliable assembly technology, and is fully recyclable at the end of its working life.
