PROGRESS ARCHITECTURE offers professional advice on the choice of materials and finishes, adapted to the weather conditions, intensity of use and specific features of a particular application. The analysis of alternative variants allows us to adapt the solution to the budget constraints while maintaining the design objectives. The exceptional durability of the effect is guaranteed by advanced production technologies and the use of high quality materials and special coatings.
As well as being a standard building material, metal meshes and grids are an important design element, representing the highest quality architectural finish. Manufactured from high quality materials such as stainless steel, they are resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance costs. Maintenance savings not only benefit the project budget, but also contribute to its sustainability.
Used for its durability, attractive appearance and corrosion resistance, it is used in the kitchen, surgical equipment, construction and chemical industries, among others. There are many types of stainless steel with different properties. AISI304/AISI304L (1.4301/1.4307) is used for interior architectural applications, while AISI316/AISI316L (1.4401/1.4404) is used for exterior applications due to its higher corrosion resistance.
Carbon steels are alloys of iron and carbon and are used, among other things, in the manufacture of gratings, where S235 and S355 grades are popular. They are susceptible to corrosion and require protection. Powder coating is sufficient inside, but galvanising followed by powder coating is necessary outside. Not recommended for woven mesh due to difficulty in securing wire contact points.
Selected types of round wire and profile wire are coated with a thin layer of aluminium-zinc PRO-Zinal. Wires with this coating are used to produce woven meshes and welded grids. In addition, it is recommended to paint the wire for better corrosion protection in outdoor applications. The contact points of the wires in the meshes are corrosion protected, but the cut/sanded edges require painting.
The material is about 3 times lighter than steel, so aluminium mesh made from this material is much lighter than steel. However, their strength and resistance to deformation are much lower, making them more susceptible to damage. They are not recommended for use in areas subject to unexpected loads, particularly point loads. The material is well suited to powder coating and wet painting. Suggested wire grades are 5000 and 6000 series.
Copper, usually in pure form (99.9%) with traces of impurities, commonly used as M1E. It has a characteristic salmon colour. The pure copper surface is susceptible to oxidation when exposed to weathering and chemicals, resulting in a rapid colour change towards brown. Over time the surface can take on a green patina.
Brass is an alloy of copper with zinc in varying proportions (up to a maximum of 40%) and possible alloying additives. Common grades are M65 and M90. It has a colour close to gold, but the raw surface quickly changes to greens and browns.
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin (up to 10%) in varying proportions, with possible alloying additives. Popular grades include CuSn6. It has a light brown colour, but the raw surface can quickly change colour to darker shades.
Uncoloured metals, especially copper, change colour rapidly when exposed to weather and chemicals. Copper mesh can vary in colour from site to site and from customer to customer. Changes may be uniform or localised, often visible in areas touched by fingers. The wires on the spools can also vary in colour, affecting the final appearance of the mesh. If you are looking for a uniform colour that will not change over time, consider painted stainless steel mesh. However, if you appreciate the natural character of coloured metals and their variability, then this is the choice for you.
A wealth of finishing options for metal meshes and grids, such as painting, polishing, brushing or printing, allow you to transform your space into true masterpieces. These different techniques not only add aesthetic appeal, but also offer the opportunity for personalisation. They allow you to tailor meshes and grids to your unique needs and individual design concepts.
The powder coating process allows products to be coated in any colour from the RAL palette, with varying degrees of gloss and surface texture. The parts undergo a pre-treatment and are then coated with powder paint by sputtering using electrostatic forces. Heated in an oven, the paint spreads evenly to create an aesthetic, durable and dense coating. As an option, an additional primer can be applied for corrosion protection (two-coat painting). The grilles will conform well to this process, but cracks in the coating may occur at intersections. For grilles, it is recommended to use galvanised or stainless steel wire, and for grilles, it is best to use galvanised material (PRO-Zinal) or to galvanise them before painting. Powder coating can affect the geometry of the grilles, so it is recommended to avoid painting grilles that are too large.
Applications: woven mesh, welded grid, expanded metal mesh
The painting process involves applying liquid paints to the surface of the product using spray guns and then suspending the details to allow the paint to fully cure. This provides a wide range of colours. By painting the mesh, the intersecting wires don’t become fully bonded, allowing for subsequent geometry corrections. It is also efficient for larger dimensions and after painting the mesh can be rolled up for transport. Although less commonly used for meshes, this process is feasible, especially for special colours. Unique finishes such as antique brass are available. For dense meshes (e.g. Egida), the effect of old, partially patinated brass can be achieved by hand, giving a unique character.
Applications: woven mesh, welded grid, expanded metal mesh
Hot dip galvanising is an effective anti-corrosion process in which carbon steel is immersed in molten zinc, forming thick coatings (60-80µm) that ensure long-term corrosion resistance. However, the surface can be uneven with drips, slag residue and ungalvanised areas, which are corrected with high zinc paint. High temperatures (~500°C) can cause distortion in details. It is successfully used for welded grids, but for woven meshes it is better to pre-galvanise the wire. For black steel meshes, they should be welded into a frame prior to galvanising to improve stiffness and reduce distortion. Irregularities and process features will be visible under the paint.
Applications: welded grid
Zinc electroplating is a process in which a thin layer of zinc is applied to the surface of carbon steel by electrolysis. The resulting coatings are smooth, bright and aesthetically pleasing, although less corrosion resistant than hot dip galvanising. They typically have a thickness of around 12µm, with the option of thicker zinc coatings (~25µm). They have a variable appearance, but their durability can be improved by passivation (white/blue or yellow) and the use of polyester sealants or polyethylene waxes. It is suitable for welded carbon steel grids, especially indoors or as a protective layer before painting. It’s important to inform the galvanising plant of the details to be painted so that the finishing processes can be adapted.
Applications: welded grid
Etching and passivation are post-machining processes used on stainless steel and are carried out by immersion, spraying or locally. Stainless steels retain their appearance due to a passive layer (chromium oxide) which can be damaged during machining. The etching process (using nitric and hydrofluoric acids) removes impurities and allows the passive layer to be rebuilt. Welded gratings and meshes used in welding are subjected to etching (either immersion or local) depending on their dimensions. Etching is followed by passivation, which can be natural or chemical.
Applications: woven mesh, welded grid
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that smoothes the microstructure of stainless steel surfaces, giving them smoothness and increased lustre. It also replaces traditional etching, but has size limitations due to the dimensions of the process tanks. It can be applied to both grids and stainless steel meshes. However, the texture on the surface of profiles for gratings produced by rolling processes may remain somewhat unchanged. The process will be evaluated on samples.
Applications: woven mesh, welded grid
Grinding is the process of giving an object a characteristic surface texture using various tools and abrasives. For welded grids, where the front surface of the profiled wires has a small flat area, it is possible to use satin finishing with oscillating movements or grinding along the wires. The effect of grinding on a small area may be limited, but the finish can be evaluated on samples.
Applications: welded grid
Abrasive flow finishing is a process that uses either centrifugal force or compressed air to direct abrasive media onto the surface of a component. Originally used to remove corrosive contaminants from metals, this process also imparts a rough texture to the top surface of grids, reducing their slipperiness, although pores in the material can encourage the accumulation of contaminants. This process can also be considered for aesthetic reasons, although due to the nature of the process the uniformity of the finish may vary slightly between the grating surface and individual details. The effects can be assessed on samples.
Applications: welded grid
Screen printing is an effective printing method, ideal for applying intricate graphics to woven and welded mesh, particularly in exterior applications such as building facades. With the ability to adjust the size from a few centimetres to several metres, screen printing allows for striking and precise designs. Its ability to differentiate colours through mesh gradations adds flexibility, and the creation of thick layers of ink makes it durable and weather resistant. Screen printing is an efficient method for projects that require high quality and resistance to outdoor conditions.
Applications: woven mesh, welded grid, expanded metal mesh
PVD
PVD, or Physical Vapour Deposition, is an innovative method of coating stainless steel with oxides, allowing the creation of natural colour coatings on woven meshes and welded grids. Depending on the oxide, colours such as gold, copper or black can be achieved. The resulting coating is extremely thin and has greater resistance to abrasion, making it ideal for grids used as covers for trench heaters. This process is more environmentally friendly as it does not produce gases, effluents or other residues. In addition, the colouring process does not affect the recyclability of stainless steel.
Applications: welded grid
