Open Area and Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The open area of expanded metal mesh plays an important role in how a design is experienced. Different patterns create varying levels of transparency, influencing the flow of light, the perception of depth and the degree of visibility through the mesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the subtle and understated to bold and visually striking, the ArchitEx range offers a variety of open area options to suit different design intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perceived openness can vary depending on viewing distance and installation height. A mesh may appear more visually dense when viewed from greater distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
