Wire mesh, a purely industrial product, becomes a resource for architecture and design, capable of adapting to the creative imagination of the designer. This is ARCHI-NET®, an intertwinement of metal wires, or wires and ropes, obtained by weaving or by linking together wire spirals. ARCHI-NET® is used in exterior architecture and in interior design as an aesthetic or functional element.

ARCHI-NET® : • can be produced with different metals (stainless steel, iron, bronze, brass and copper) • is available in multiple configurations thanks to the possibility of using a wide range of wires and ropes • can be customized in terms of colouring, glazing, polishing, tarnishing • is custom-ma

Resistance. Upon raw material reception, samples of the wires and ropes are analysed in the laboratory by means of specific tests in order to verify their mechanical characteristics. Colour homogeneity. The raw material comes from the same casting in order to guarantee homogenous colours and shades. Geometry. The respect of geometric characteristics (distance, diameter, section) guarantees the structural uniformity of the final product. Flatness. Specific production techniques such as pre-straightening wire in weft or flattening contribute to achieving excellent levels of flatness in our...

Accurate welding. Where present, welding is performed by qualified welders and verified through appropriate tests. Cleaning. Ultrasonic washing facilities cleanse the product to ensure the best level of cleanliness. For a superior polish, electro-polishing may be carried out on request. Suitable packaging. This ensures product integrity for long periods of time both during transport and on-site handling.

APPLICATIONS | OUTDOORS | FACADeS When used as facade covering, ARCHI-NET® redefines the design of the building. Applying ARCHI-NET® to historical buildings introduces a modern element, whilst preserving the original architectural style. For contemporary and newly developed projects, ARCHI-NET® wire meshes bring elements of lightness, flexibility and brightness. 1, 2. Costacurta headquarters Milan, Italy Designed by Arch. M.

APPLICATIONS | OUTDOORS | SUNSCReeNS 26 Some types of ARCHI-NET® wire meshes are ideal to use as sunscreens. The framed wire mesh becomes ARCHI-SCREEN®, a fixed or mobile sunscreen, with varying degrees of transparency according to the selected wire mesh. The ARCHI-SCREEN® sunscreen system is designed to reduce solar radiation, thereby improving the thermal comfort inside the building. The fixed panels provide constant shielding. The mobile panels may be opened and oriented according to the sun exposure. Costacurta headquarters Milan, Italy Designed by Arch. M. Galantino Wire mesh A.401
