Spotlight on Brass: Architectural Woven Wire Mesh
A warm golden hue combined with retro charm – is there anything as appealing for interiors than brass? This timeless tone has made a comeback. More aged than gold and warmer than silver, mix-and-match it with other materials such as marble and wood for glamorous drama and luxe living spaces.
Brass Interior Design: A Bold New Trend
Why use brass in interiors?
- Brass can oxidise or tarnish over time, giving it a distinct weathered look – just one of this material’s charming characteristics
- Brass has excellent corrosive resistance
- Brass can be recycled an infinite number of times, which has significant environmental and economic advantages
Brass Woven Wire Mesh
Architectural wire mesh typically refers to woven wire mesh. Woven wire mesh is a pliable mesh that is created by weaving longitudinal and transverse wires together to create tension. Because it can bend without breaking, woven wire mesh is ideal for balustrade, balconies, screening and ventilation. And because it can conform to any shape, woven wire mesh is also used for interior decoration and artistic uses.
Brass woven wire mesh is widely used in architecture and interiors for function and appearance.

Glossary:
- Aperture: Aperture is the term used when specifying wire mesh and indicates the measurement between wires, or the size of the opening in the mesh.
- Brass: An alloy of copper and zinc, brass has a number of applications in the construction industry. It can be used exclusively for its stunning decorative look in buildings, in areas such as locks or door knobs where there is a low friction requirement.
- Mesh Count: Mesh count is the number of wires per inch (25.4mm) in the wire mesh roll. Dense mesh will have a higher mesh count.
- Open area percentage: The open area percentage tells you how much of the sheet is made up of holes, and how much is made up of metal. It is an essential consideration when understanding if a profile meets specific performance, design and strength needs.
- Wire diameter: Architectural mesh is available in different wire diameters, from the finest 0.6mm to the thickest 1.6mm.
