What Is Architectural & Decorative Wire Mesh

1. The History of Architectural & Decorative Wire MeshThe Bauhaus school inspired a purism that made white the ubiquitous color in architecture. Here it was highly common to work with white surfaces; if any additional color was needed, only grey would be considered. However, modern architecture is an altogether more colorful affair – in order to portray functionalities, represent dynamic change and innovation or forge a connection to nature and the environment. Color does not have to be bright; rather, the emphasis lies on bringing together color and form and combining them to form a unit. In modern architecture, color has become a material – signalling the end of a colorless era.

Metallic mesh was discovered as a colorful and functional design element in architecture around twenty years ago. The project of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris in the 1990s was the first of its kind. Dominique Perrault developed deployment options for metallic meshes in the architecture and design fields. Since then, architectural meshes to a wider range of applications worldwide.

2. Features of Architectural &Decorative Wire mesh

(1) Fireproof

Shuolong manufactures high-quality woven metal fabrics, primarily of AISI Type 316 stainless steel. Stainless steel material with heat, high temperature characteristics, better than aluminum, glass and so on.
