Wire Mesh Façade Design by HAVER & BOECKER
Semi-Transparent Façades with Architectural Wire Mesh
HAVER & BOECKER’s architectural wire mesh provides numerous opportunities for creating semi-transparent façades. The stainless steel mesh offers a distinct metallic aesthetic that can transform a building’s character by blending transparency with opacity.
Versatile Mesh Characteristics
The wire mesh developed by HAVER & BOECKER allows design professionals to innovate in their projects. Each mesh variant possesses unique qualities in strength, transparency, surface finish, and visual effects, making it a versatile material suitable for various design applications.
Advantages of Wire Mesh Façades
The key benefits of using wire mesh façades include:
- Customizable façade designs
- Enhanced natural ventilation
- Effective sun protection
- Fall protection
- Combination of transparency and privacy
- Coverage of large surfaces
- Longevity
- Low maintenance requirements
Efficient Installation and Cost Reduction
Architectural wire mesh can often be tensioned across the entire height of a façade, necessitating solid substructures primarily at the top and bottom attachment points to manage loads from pre-tension, wind, and ice. This method reduces costs associated with substructure and installation compared to framed façade cladding.
Functional and Durable Material
Wire mesh constructions offer multiple functionalities such as safety features, sun protection, and sound absorption. Made from high-quality stainless steel with molybdenum, the HAVER Architecture Mesh is corrosion-resistant and requires minimal upkeep. Reliable fastening systems allow for customized mounting solutions, ensuring optimal safety even for tall buildings and in strong winds.
Global Architectural Support
HAVER & BOECKER provides support to architects worldwide, aiding in the custom design of diverse projects.
Application in Construction
The architectural wire mesh is applicable in various construction contexts, particularly for façades and exterior or outdoor uses. Its stainless steel composition offers effective solar control and numerous other properties beneficial for modern architectural designs.
