Introduction

The origins of woven wire mesh in architecture and design are based on

industrial applications involving filtration and separation. More recently

architecture has adopted these materials for their outstanding visual impact,

strength and versatility. Our range of woven meshes have been designed

and selected with this in mind, with the GKD materials at the very forefront.

Although there are standard fixing methods, which are illustrated in this

book, many of the projects shown using woven meshes have individually

designed fixings and finishings to suit the clients’ needs.

The increased use of these materials in architecture and design has led

to a number of innovations and exciting new products which you will find

in the following pages.

Product Properties

As a raw material woven wire mesh offers unique

properties to the designer, combining exceptionally

large panel sizes with flexibility and efficient fastening

techniques. The variety of weaves allows the

issues of transparency, acoustics and airflow to

be resolved through the correct choice of mesh.

Creative lighting accentuates the visual impact

of the material from simple lighting to full image

projection as recently showcased on the Bernabeu

Stadium in Spain.

The pre-crimped and welded meshes have many

of the aesthetic and acoustic properties of the

cable meshes with the additional benefits of natural

rigidity. Designed to be more effective over smaller

areas, these meshes are ideal for balustrading and

screening applications.

Our entire woven and welded mesh range can be

made from high-grade 316 quality steel, which is

suitable for almost all environments and offers the

greatest resistance to corrosion and discolouration.

NB. Minimum order quantities may apply to certainproducts in this section.

The Manufacturing Process

Our woven meshes are manufactured using hybrid

automated looms. The warp rods or wires are

stretched and spaced vertically, a shuttle then fires

back and forth adding the weft material. Depending

on weave components, sheets of up to 8 metres in

width and of practically unlimited length are possible

(please note that these larger panels are only

available using cable meshes).

The construction of this material allows flexibility

in one direction whilst maintaining a degree of

rigidity in the other. Tensioning the mesh correctly

through fixing methodology will add additional rigidity

and stability to the entire assembly if required.

The pre-crimp meshes are woven in a similar

way also using looms. These meshes offer a rigid

panel that requires no tensioning making it ideal

for specific applications such as balustrading.

Materials

It is also worth considering that whilst the

majority of meshes are specified in either

Stainless Steel 304 or 316L, other materials

are available for bespoke weaves including

Bronze, Brass, Aluminium and Copper.

Case Study

Carlyle Square, London

This commissioned sculpture was a relatively

unusual application for a material that is more

commonly associated with cladding and screening.

The material was hung under tension with

water flowing from the bespoke fixings, with

the final piece being beautifully enhanced through

sensitive lighting.

Laminated Mesh - Introduction

Laminated Mesh, one of the latest innovations from

Cadisch MDA has been developed in conjunction

with Fusion Glass whose knowledge and experience

with designed glass is unrivalled. Between us we

have brought together our expertise in our own

fields to offer a range of materials that are unlike

any other. These materials allow the transparency,

rigidity and enclosing qualities of glass, with the

depth, added strength and the decorative qualities

of the meshes.

Our woven meshes are laminated between two

layers of annealed or toughened glass of varying

thickness depending on structural, safety and the

aesthetic requirements of the project.

Applications

Cladding Stair Treads

Partitions Balustrade infils

Doors Flooring

Features Screening - Decorative and Structural

Max panel sizes are 2000 x 4500mm

depending on mesh.

Hand-Woven Grilles/Meshes

Hand-Woven Grilles

These products have been made the same way for

over a hundred years. Every wire is cut, crimped

and then woven in by hand. Each grille is built to

your sizes and specifications, as the mesh does

not hold shape when cut from larger panels.

Meshes

We offer square or diamond weave in six sizes,

including some non-standard patterns. The mesh

sizes range from 4mm through to 25mm and can

be woven using materials such as brass, stainless

steel and Aluminium.

Backing Meshes

Fine and coarse backing meshes can be fixed to the

grilles to create a more solid or less see-through

effect.
