Architectural Metal

Architectural woven metals are considered to be a speciality product of The Cloth Clinic. Stainless Steel, Copper, Phosphor Bronze, Brass and Nickel are commission woven to technical aerospace specification and quality guaranteed.

Many different weights and gauges are available and a large selection of base metal materials are held in stock. Metals incorporating patinated surfaces and designs are created on-site to client specification. This method of production ensures a unique product for each client. Decoration is placed precisely where a client designates .... for instance, if a simple trailing stripe is required on a central panel of a screen system that is exactly what is created, if a pattern placement is required in a particular scale and area ..... that is exactly what is created.

What is Woven Wirecloth?

Woven wire cloth consists of metal wires crossing at right angles and so forming the openings or aperture size. It is manufactured by weaving transverse weft wires into longitudinal warp wires. The wires are so crimped during this process that a firm connection results. By varying the arrangement of the transverse wires, wire cloth with square openings or rectangular openings, or so - called zero - openings is obtained.

A comprehensive range of standard specifications in various materials including the world's finest square mesh cloth of w/20/mm is available to order.

Wirecloth is available in the following materials:-

Stainless Steel, Monel, Copper, Brass and Phosphor Bronze.

Properties

• High tensile strength.
• Inherent rigidity.
• High resistance to abrasion.
• Goof formability
• Chemical and thermic resistance.
• Regular configuration of mesh openings.
• Smooth surface structure.
• Good cleanability.
• High reliability.
• Fire proof.

Designer Wirecloth

This is an exciting new range of patterned wirecloths aimed specifically at the architect and specifier. Precision woven wirecloths are patterned by exclusive patented processes involving Soundwaves and CO2 Photon Laser Beams. This new commodity offers enormous potential for aesthetic exterior and interior design solutions.

The characteristics of the cloth, dependent upon the configuration of the wire thickness in relation to aperture size, are visually enhanced by the high - tec processes applied to the surface of the cloth.

These speciality cloths are available in a wide range of weights, materials and designs.

Commission designs to client specification are also feasible.

What is Patinated Metal

"Patinated Metal" is the title of a collection of pure metal woven materials which have been coloured and decorated with Soundwaves.

These materials retain their bright metallic appearance and their inherent natural characteristics when treated to a Soundwave process which completely changes the colouration of the selected pieces of material.

The colouration of the materials is completely governed by the molecular content of the materials. No dyes, chemicals or wet treatments are employed in the colouration of the materials within this collection. Effects are permanent and patterns may be of random or geometric formats. Differing degrees of colouration are obtainable via process saturation techniques and may be either all - over spectrum colouration or patterned spectrum colouration.

The materials are designed specifically to compliment and/or contrast with the pure coloured and harder edged elements within the " Metal Collection ".

All materials have been patterned and coloured using a patented process evolved from Soundwaves.

The Patinated Metal Collection performs particularly well under directional lighting when the spectrum range of colourways respond to particular types of electrical products to create speciality features.

There are an enormous number of colourways and patterning options available to clients. Designs may be ordered from a stock range, or, a commission service to client specification is available.

Materials for patination include :
Copper, Brass, Stainless Steel and Phosphor Bronze.
