VERTEX ROPE 94
A lightweight, near-invisible stainless steel rope mesh made of 7×7 wire rope joined by crimped ferrules into a diamond pattern. Flexible in both directions, it follows curved and three-dimensional shapes and keeps views open while providing reliable fall and safety protection – ideal for balustrades, stair voids, bridges, zoo enclosures and green facades.

How to Specify
- Pattern name, e.g. VERTEX LINK 71
- 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 and industry reference data and may vary by approx. 10-15%. Weights for other alloys are calculated from the base-material value. Element size, opening, alloy, finish and panel size can be customized - please confirm final specifications with a physical sample.
