ARCHI-NET® provides comprehensive support to designers and engineers, including CAD drafting, technical counseling, prototyping, and on-site supervision during installation.
Features and Machining
Key features include screening, protection, reflection, and cleaning. Machining processes involve framing, welding, deep drawing, cutting, bending, and coloring.
Applications
ARCHI-NET® is used in various architectural applications such as facades, car parks, sunscreens, safety balustrading, pedestrian bridges, and gates. Indoors, it is used for furnishings, lighting, false ceilings, interior design, and space partitioning.
Types of Meshes
The document details different types of wire meshes, including woven wire meshes, wire spirals, and metal grilles, each with specific characteristics and applications.
Types of Meshes
  • Type A: Made from groups of ropes in the warp and round wires in the weft, offering flexibility and resistance. Suitable for outdoor architecture, available in stainless, colored steel, and COR-TEN. Main applications include facades, false ceilings, and space partitioning.
  • Type B: Composed of single ropes in the warp and pre-crimped round wires in the weft. Known for its reflecting capacities and transparency. Used for both outdoor and indoor projects, available in stainless and colored steel.
  • Type C: Constructed from wire spirals or flat bars linked by pre-crimped rods. Flexible and does not require tensioning, ideal for interior design applications like false ceilings and space partitioning.
  • Type D: Made from metal wire spirals linked together, offering flexibility without tensioning. Suitable for interior design and space partitioning, available in various metals including stainless steel and brass.
  • Type E: Features groups of copper or steel wires in both warp and weft, providing a compact and flexible mesh. Ideal for interior design and space partitioning.
  • Type F: Heavy and rigid mesh made from straight wires in the warp and pre-crimped wires in the weft. Suitable for protective elements like gates and safety balustrading.
  • Type G: Similar to Type F, but with a more compact surface and low transparency, used for external protection elements.
  • Type H: Made from wire straps in both warp and weft, offering high mechanical strength. Suitable for facade coverings and safety balustrading.
  • Type I: Crimped wire mesh from round section wires, used for architectural facade coverings and safety balustrading.
Key Specifications
  • Materials: Stainless steel, copper, brass, carbon steel, COR-TEN.
  • Applications: Facades, false ceilings, space partitioning, safety balustrading, gates, and doorways.
  • Properties: Varying degrees of transparency, flexibility, mechanical strength, and weight depending on type and material.
Product Specifications
  • ARChI-NeT® I.107: Made from carbon steel with pre-crimped wires, it has an open area of 68% and is used for safety balustrading and space partitioning.
  • ARChI-NeT® I.100: Stainless steel mesh with an 82% open area, suitable for interior design and space partitioning.
  • ARChI-NeT® I.109: Features stainless steel with a 55% open area, used for facades and false ceilings.
  • ARChI-NeT® I.112: Made from COR-TEN, it has a 52% open area and is used for sunscreens and interior design.
  • ARChI-NeT® J Series: Includes various materials like copper, brass, and bronze, primarily for interior design with open areas ranging from 50% to 56%.
  • ARChI-NeT® K Series: Features heavy consistency meshes with a 5% open area, used for interior design and space partitioning.
  • ARChI-NeT® L Series: Stainless steel mesh with bands of ropes, used for sunscreens and stairs.
  • ARChI-NeT® M Series: Hexagonal metal grille for outdoor shading and partitioning.
  • ARChI-NeT® R Series: Wire mesh with no openings, used for facades and space partitioning.
  • ARChI-NeT® V Series: Metal grille with triangular section wires, used for sunscreens and interior design.
Finishing and Colouring
The document outlines various finishing options including brushed stainless steel, oxidized COR-TEN, and galvanized steel, among others.
Fixing Devices
Several systems are described for fixing the wire meshes, including U-section profiles, L-section profiles, tooth-profile systems, and round bar systems. These systems are compatible with different ARChI-NeT® products and are designed to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.

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.

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 products....
