Weight by Material (nominal)
| Material | kg/m² | lb/ft² |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 6.2 | 1.27 |
| Plain / galvanized steel | 6.1 | 1.26 |
| Aluminum | 2.1 | 0.44 |

Performance & Design Data
| Solidity (1 - open area) | 18.3% |
|---|---|
| Geometric cut-off angle (short opening) | 78° |
| 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.
