Application of architectural woven mesh

Application of architectural woven mesh

(I) Structural support

Long-span buildings

In large-span spatial structures, such as airport terminals and large industrial plants, architectural woven mesh can work in conjunction with other structural components to form a spatial force system. For example, when using a cable-membrane structure, the woven mesh can be used as part of the cable to bear the tension and transfer the load to the foundation and supporting structure, thereby achieving a large-span column-free space and improving the utilization rate of the building's internal space.

Bridge structure

In some special bridge designs, architectural woven mesh can be used to reinforce bridges or as a component of new bridge structures. It can enhance the wind resistance and bearing capacity of the bridge, and due to its flexibility, it can adapt to the slight deformation of the bridge under load.

(II) Protection and safety

Construction protection

At construction sites, woven mesh is widely used for edge protection, hole protection, etc. For example, woven mesh guardrails are set up in dangerous areas such as stairwells and elevator shafts of buildings to prevent construction workers from falling. At the same time, when constructing the exterior wall of a building, the cantilevered woven mesh protection frame can provide a safe working platform for construction workers and prevent the construction materials from falling.

Building perimeter protection

For some buildings close to roads or public places, setting up woven mesh protection fences around the building can prevent people from accidentally approaching dangerous areas, such as deep foundation pits, high slopes, etc. Setting up woven mesh protection devices on the edge of the building's roof can also prevent people from falling when they are on the roof.

(III) Facade decoration

Commercial buildings

In the facade decoration of commercial buildings, building woven mesh can create a unique business atmosphere. For example, the facades of some large shopping malls are decorated with metal woven mesh. Through different weaving methods and lighting effects, they can form a dazzling visual effect at night to attract customers' attention.

Cultural buildings

In the facade design of cultural buildings such as museums and theaters, woven mesh can reflect cultural connotations. Weaving patterns with regional characteristics or design methods combined with local cultural elements can be used to better integrate the building into the local cultural environment in appearance.

(IV) Internal space separation

Office buildings

In office buildings, architectural woven mesh can be used to separate internal spaces. It can divide different functional areas, such as meeting rooms, office areas, etc., without affecting the sense of spatial transparency. Compared with traditional solid partition walls, woven mesh partitions have better visual transparency, making the office space more open and bright.

Public buildings

In public buildings such as libraries and art galleries, woven mesh can also be used to separate spaces. For example, setting up woven mesh partitions between different reading areas in the library can not only ensure the independence of each area to a certain extent, but also will not cause a sense of oppression to readers, and at the same time can also serve as a decorative space.
