Tensioned cable net facades forming transparent, high-strength building envelopes and double-curved facades conforming to complex geometry.
Large-span tensile mesh for stadium roofs, airport terminal canopies, and atrium skylight safety nets with high structural efficiency.
Suspended ceiling nets, tensioned room dividers, and staircase tension screens for modern architectural interiors.
Green wall support nets, tensile art sculptures, and bridge pedestrian safety nets for public spaces.
Plain Weave Construction: The plain weave (knotted) mesh uses an over-under weaving pattern without ferrules, providing bi-axial flexibility, high shear deformability, and no stress concentration points.
Wire Rope Construction: 7×7 construction (1.2-2.4mm) offers stiffer, lower stretch properties, while 7×19 (3.2-4.0mm) provides more flexibility and higher elongation for complex 3D shapes.
Material Advantage: 316L stainless steel with molybdenum content prevents pitting corrosion in chloride-rich environments, while low carbon content eliminates intergranular corrosion risk after welding.
Required Tools: Stainless steel cable cutter, crimping tool, wrench set, hydraulic tensioner, tensiometer, level, tape measure, and drill.
