Breathable woven wire mesh screening at One Arlington Apartments

The architects needed a breathable system to screen several mechanical louvers on the front of the building. The system needed to fit their design intent while still meeting open area requirements for the mechanical systems. To reduce visual transparency from the street but still allow for direct airflow, the architects decided to use the very versatile weave type EGLA-TWIN 4253. With its smooth flat surface on one side which reflects light homogenously and an open area of 51 %, this stainless steel mesh is very popular as a filigree textile outer skin on Façades.
