Exterior sunlight protection through architectural mesh is considerably more effective as compare to interior systems. Besides, the outstanding blend of security effect with a large range of additional advantages, offers financial benefits by decreasing energy costs for air conditioning.
Incident solar radiation is suitably filtered and heating of the façade considerably decreased. The mesh transparency improves the optical effect of wall and simultaneously maintains the look of the building from inside and outside. Specifically with glass facades, this effect shows several additional design feasibilities.
Advantages of decorative mesh
Sun shading: The structure of decorative mesh offers suitable shading specifically at a large angle of sunlight incidence during summer. Solar energy is used to decrease heating costs during winter at a low angle of sunlight incidence.
Natural ventilation: Considering its open area, stainless steel mesh ensures good air flow and prevents hot air from accumulating around the wall. The gap between mesh and glass improves this ventilation effect.
Outstanding view from inside: Based on the selected mesh type, the façade seems to fully transparent from inside mainly based on the viewing angle and the natural daylight.
Fixed and detachable screens: Mesh screens are specifically ideal for permanent use as sun screen by using large scale elements. It can also be integrated in sliding or hinged frames for detachable solutions.
Outstanding shading effect: With a sunlight incidence angle of 600 degree and double glazing, excellent architectural effects are achieved by reducing transmitting solar energy in the range of 40% to 70%. In combination with suitable sun protection glazing, they uniformly achieve g-values in the range of 0.1 to 0.18 with same incidence angle. The mesh is specifically designed for sunlight protection while reducing the energy transmission by more than 90%.
Suitably key figures are used to determine the influence of sunlight protection. Total energy transmittance states the proportion of solar energy that makes its way through a transparent component, like window. The interaction of the entire façade system requires to be kept in mind while using wire mesh as sun protection in combination with a glass wall. This includes different factors such as :
Type of glazing, incidence angle of sunlight, distance between wire mesh and glass façade
The effect of wire mesh on decreasing energy cost can be determined by comparing the transmission value for the whole system to the transmission system for the glass façade.
Decorative mesh creates a shimmering shell for buildings with its specific style and beautiful sun protection together. Based on the mesh type, viewing angle and lighting conditions, the optical effect of stainless steel mesh claddings is always varied. Additionally, it allows an uninterrupted view of the outer world from side and provides supreme privacy.
Based on the incidence of light, the material has a transparent effect and allows a view inside or blocks it. Light and shadows, sunshine and clouds are reflected on the mesh surface, appearing as a second wall. Durable stainless steel decorative mesh combined with a large range of shadows offer different effects. These screens allow corporate effect or individual shading to be placed on the wall and be visible from afar.
