Amazing things can be done with wedge wire grilles - Seating

This tough but durable material can be used for so many different applications because it does what you tell it to do.  These university seats have been made out of Vee Wire that as has been bent through 90 degrees.  The result is a fantastic clean, minimal appearance, which demonstrates contemporary artistic design using a beautifully engineered material.

The added benefit is that it is rock solid, resistant to vandalism and all weather conditions.  These seats will require no maintenance for decades to come.

In an earlier post we showed stunning but very heavy wedgewire cladding used for ventilation purposes but at the same time high security.  This image shows a much lighter material used to cladding for maximum day and night effect. 

With lights behind it becomes a wonderful glowing structure at night. 

Stunning wedge wire cladding

External mesh cladding has appeared on a variety of developments over the last decade including solar shading on office buildings, decorative facades on car parks and rain screens on stairwells.  Most of the projects to date have used woven mesh, cable mesh, perforated sheet or expanded metal.  However, the structural properties of wedgewire & Vee Wire mesh means that less sub-structure and less framing is required for the installation and therefore the overall cost of the works package is surprisingly affordable.  Another advantages of using wedge wire in this application is that larger panel sizes are available which greatly reduce overall fitting time.
