Colour is one of the main attractions when it comes to the finishing of metal mesh and in particular, how the mesh is coloured without it corroding. Having researched a number of finish processes that work well with the commonly used architectural meshes (woven, expanded, and perforated), powder coating is the most cost-effective way to apply an almost unlimited range of colours. Powder coating uses an electrostatic charge to attract a fluidised powder evenly across all surfaces of the mesh. The electrostatic charge holds the pigmented powder until it passes through an oven where it melts and adheres permanently to the mesh. After curing, the mesh has a colourful and durable coating that adds to the desired aesthetic of the project.
Product in practice
Situated perfectly between the hub of finance in the City and lively Covent Garden, Lincoln Square comprises of a ten-storey luxurious residential building of apartments, studios and penthouses designed by PLP Architects. Interiors to the apartments designed by Bowler James Brindley, whilst the amenities space was created by Patricia Urquiola.
Upon entering the two lobbies of the building, metal mesh was specified for the custom-made chandeliers which dominate the high ceilings and define the height of the contemporary space, whilst allowing light to pass through.
Specified in a stainless steel and bronze configuration, the warmth of the mesh complements its surroundings of the furnishings and flooring whilst the shape of the chandeliers create a reflective surface that projects stunning visual statements. With this installation, the chandeliers also act as a screen and a visual filter, giving privacy without segregating them from the rest of the space. Throughout the building other features of metal mesh is used in the hallways, suites, and the library.
Whether you choose to use metal mesh for its functional or decorative virtues, the material comes in a variety of thicknesses, patterns, and shapes to inspire you for your interior design.
