ASPECT 74
Economical architectural wire mesh features a versatile medium-duty triple shute pattern, compatible with all wire alloy types. Its balanced structure combines cost efficiency with reliable durability, making it a go-to choice for frequent applications in building facades, parking garage sunshades and large-scale interior partitions.
Technical Data

| Supply format | Rolls, cut sheets or framed panels made to your drawings. Maximum size depends on pattern and alloy - send your opening sizes for confirmation. |
Weight by Material (nominal)
| Material | kg/m² | lb/ft² |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 7.5 | 1.54 |
| Plain / galvanized steel | 7.4 | 1.52 |
| Brass | 8.1 | 1.65 |
| Bronze | 8.3 | 1.71 |
| Copper | 8.5 | 1.74 |
Performance & Design Data
| Solidity (1 - open area) | 25.2% |
|---|---|
| Geometric cut-off angle (short opening) | 64° |
| Railing infill check (100 mm / 4" sphere) | Openings smaller than 100 mm (4") |
| Fire behaviour | Bare stainless steel is a non-combustible metal. Coated, plated or backed finishes: classification per project test report. |
| Corrosion guidance | 304 for interiors and protected exteriors; 316 / 316L for exterior, coastal and polluted environments. |
Beyond this incidence angle, direct light and view through the short opening are blocked (louver effect).
Installation & Framing
| Recommended fixing | Framed panels (flat bar or angle), or a tensioned facade system: flat tension profile with clevis bolts top and bottom, compression springs at the base and intermediate supports at each floor. |

How to Specify
- Pattern name, e.g. AXIS 81
- Material and grade, e.g. Stainless steel 316
- Finish, e.g. PVD Black Titanium or RAL 9005
- Panel width x height and quantity
- Opening direction (rectangular patterns)
- Edge or frame profile and size
- Indoor or exterior, and site location
- Target delivery date
Nominal values are calculated from pattern geometry for stainless steel and may vary by approx. 10-15%. Weights for other alloys are calculated from the stainless steel value. Wire diameter, opening, alloy, finish and panel size can be customized - please confirm final specifications with a physical sample.
