What is PVD Gold Finish Architectural Mesh

PVD Gold Architectural Mesh refers to a high-quality stainless steel mesh treated with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process to achieve a luxurious gold finish.

This suface treatment method involves the application of a thin, durable titanium-based coating, which enhances the surface of architectural wire mesh panels with a visually striking metallic sheen while maintaining the inherent strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel, including the budgest interior grade SS201, most widely used SS304, as well as marine grade SS316 and SS316L.

The wire mesh is typically woven into long sheets or rolls and can be cut to the required sizes for various applications based on customer orders or specific project requirements.

Due to the size limitations of vacuum furnaces used in the PVD process, the mesh must be cut to appropriate sizes before the coating is applied.

The maximum size of the workpiece should be within 2m in width and a maximum length of 4.5m. The PVD process itself is conducted in a controlled vacuum chamber, where titanium particles are vaporized and then deposited onto the stainless steel surface, creating a strong, uniform coating that bonds at a molecular level.

Ideal for decorative and functional architectural applications, PVD gold-coated mesh adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to building facades, interior partitions, and various design elements, ensuring longevity and a consistent appearance over time.

Introduction to the Structure of METART-WW26DB2-212-212 Decorative Mesh for Architecture

The METART-WW26DB2-212 is a unique variant within the WW26 family, showcasing distinctive dual-sided decorative patterns. This architectural mesh is engineered to offer both aesthetic appeal and enhanced structural integrity, making it an excellent choice for various architectural applications.

Structural Composition

The METART-WW26DB2-212 pattern is vertically constructed with double wire groups measuring 1.2 mm in diameter, arranged in pairs. To strengthen the mesh, an additional set of double wire strands is positioned approximately 7 mm from the first group. This configuration boosts the overall rigidity and durability of the decorative screen. The repeated unit, comprising both wire groups, is spaced at a center-to-center distance (or pitch) of approximately 35.3 mm.

This unique arrangement forms the warp structure, oriented vertically.

Weft Wire Details

The weft wires in this decorative mesh are pre-crimped and processed to achieve a subtly flattened surface, enhancing the mesh's decorative quality. Initially, the weft wires have a nominal diameter of 2 mm, with an actual measured thickness of approximately 1.95 mm. After the milling process, the width of the wire increases slightly, resulting in a final dimension of approximately 2 mm to 2.05 mm. These crimped weft wires are arranged at center-to-center distances of approximately 4.2 mm.

Mesh Openings

The METART-WW26DB2-212 mesh achieves slot openings of approximately 2.2 mm by 23.2 mm with the specified wire density. This precise spacing and crimping technique creates a visually striking and structurally sound architectural mesh suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Specification Overview

Dual-Sided Decorative Features

This decorative crimped wire mesh panel is designed with dual-sided versatility to meet diverse design needs.

On one side, referred to as SIDE A, the dents from the crimping process are smoothed out, creating a relatively flat and even surface. After the double warp wires are securely arranged, this side achieves a clean, polished look that is often preferred by architects and designers for modern interiors.

The opposite side features prominent crimped humps, forming visible rises and falls based on the wire spacing. This textured surface introduces a more structured and layered effect, suitable for designs that emphasize a bold or tactile appearance.

Here is an image showcasing the details of both sides, highlighting the distinct finishes:

The dual-sided design offers flexibility, allowing you to choose the side that best complements your project.

Applications and Properties

The METART-WW26DB2-212, with its moderate open area rate of 45.2%, is versatile in its applications. Primarily used for partitions and cabinetry, it offers a balanced combination of visibility and privacy.

When properly framed and utilized in moderate panel sizes, it can also serve as an attractive option for railing infill panels, providing a decorative touch without compromising on stability.

However, it is not recommended for use in large-sized panels due to potential structural limitations.

The mesh's unique dual-sided design and durable construction make it a suitable choice for enhancing architectural spaces with an elegant yet functional aesthetic.
