Sun Shading

Expanded metal mesh is used in solar shading applications to help control light and heat while maintaining visibility and airflow. It provides a practical solution for improving building performance while contributing to the overall façade design.

Mesh can be applied as an external layer or integrated into façade systems, reducing solar gain while allowing light to pass through. The level of shading can be adjusted through mesh selection, depending on the orientation and requirements of the building.

It is often used alongside cladding and screening applications to create a consistent external appearance, while supporting comfort within the building.

With a range of patterns and finishes available, mesh can be tailored to suit different architectural styles and performance requirements.
