Facade Mesh: questions buyers ask
What is facade mesh?
Facade mesh is metal mesh, usually expanded metal or woven mesh, fixed to a building's outside face as cladding or a sunscreen. It shades the walls and windows, allows ventilation and gives the elevation a distinctive look.
Which material is best for facade mesh in India?
Aluminium is common for facade mesh because it is light and does not rust. Galvanised steel is more economical but is usually powder coated. Stainless steel, copper and brass are used where a premium or natural metal finish is wanted.
Does facade mesh reduce heat in a building?
Yes, as a sunscreen it shades glazing and walls from direct sun, which generally reduces heat gain inside. The effect depends on the mesh's open area, orientation and distance from the wall.
How is facade mesh fixed to a building?
Facade mesh panels are generally fixed to a secondary frame of aluminium or steel sections anchored to the structure, leaving an air gap behind. Panel size and fixings are designed for the building's wind load.
What is the difference between facade mesh and perforated sheet facade?
Expanded metal facade mesh has diamond openings with angled strands that shade more from certain angles. Perforated sheet facades use flat sheets with punched holes and allow custom patterns. Both can be powder coated.
