Expanded Mesh Façade System | Nebula® - Architectural Mesh

Nebula® is primarily used for multi-storey car parks and similar structures where natural ventilation, airflow performance and visual screening are required, while also being suitable for infrastructure, plant enclosures and commercial developments requiring lightweight, ventilated façade solutions.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW:

Nebula® is a lightweight expanded mesh façade and screening system designed for applications requiring high levels of natural ventilation and free area.

• Utilizes aluminium expanded metal mesh panels to provide an effective balance of screening and airflow.
• Particularly suited to multi-storey car parks where ventilation, compliance and durability are critical.
• Offers a wide range of mesh patterns and aperture sizes to support architectural intent.
• Can be installed in vertical or horizontal orientations to suit design requirements.
• Lightweight alternative to perforated or solid panels, reducing structural load and simplifying installation.
• Open mesh structure enables natural airflow, assisting compliance with ventilation and free-area requirements.
• Suitable for car parks, infrastructure and other buildings requiring screening with airflow performance.

PANEL CONSTRUCTION:

Panels manufactured from expanded aluminium mesh.

• Aluminium 1050 expanded metal mesh construction.
• Mesh pattern, strand thickness and aperture size selected to suit project requirements.
• Expanded mesh manufacturing process reduces material waste compared to laser-cut or punched panels.
• Lightweight construction improves handling and installation efficiency.
• Open structure provides high free-area percentages for natural ventilation.
• Panel tolerances dependent on mesh pattern, sheet size and format.

VERTICAL SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION:

Support framework designed to suit project-specific structural and façade requirements.

• CR100 mullions manufactured from aluminium 6063 T6 extrusions.
• Designed to accommodate façade loads, tolerances and building movement.
• Configured to provide accurate alignment and consistent panel installation.
• Interfaces with primary structure to ensure stability and performance.

BRACKET CONSTRUCTION:

• Support brackets laser cut and folded from S275 (or superior) mild steel.
• Designed to accommodate structural tolerances and installation adjustment.
• Supports accurate positioning and alignment of façade system.
• Suitable for fixing to concrete or steel substrates as required.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE ADVANTAGES:

Nebula® is designed to support efficient installation and long-term performance.

• Simplified fixing methodology reduces installation complexity and programme duration.
• Modular system supports repeatable installation and efficient sequencing.
• Durable aluminium construction provides low maintenance requirements.
• Reduced manufacturing waste contributes to cost efficiency and sustainability.
• Supports programme certainty and minimises on-site disruption.

PANEL COLOUR / FINISH:

• Polyester powder-coated to 60 µm or anodized to 25 µm.
• Colour as specified, typically from standard RAL or BS ranges.

VERTICAL SUPPORT FINISH:

• Polyester powder-coated to 60 µm or anodised to 25 µm.

BRACKET FINISH:

• Typically hot-dip galvanized or polyester powder-coated to 60 µm.
