The process of deciding which woven wire mesh style to choose, when faced with so many options can be daunting. That is why we have put considerable effort into taking high quality pictures and displaying them in an easily controllable interactive interface as close to the actual size as possible. Quite often the choice is simply an aesthetic one. Other factors may include how much of what is behind the woven mesh panel should be seen or not seen and this is often governed by the size of the hole or whether a combination of woven wire meshes are chosen to combine into one panel. A wire mesh with large holes and narrow wires will obviously have a higher percentage open area than a mesh panel with small holes and wide wires. Wire woven from fine brass requires gentle care to maintain its appearance and integrity. The following steps can be taken to maintain fine brass woven wire:

As well as our range of vents and grilles, we can supply brass meshes in two standard hole and wire sizes that we refer to as ‘fine’ and ‘coarse’. Fine Brass Woven Mesh Internally a wider variety of metals and finishes are suitable for making. Brass grilles can be polished, lacquered, patinated or plated, as can bronze, aluminium, steel and stainless steel. These metals can also be made to look similar to each other through these processes. For indoor purposes ventilation grilles can be placed on almost any interior surface provided there is some opportunity behind it to attach the duct that will enable the transfer of air. Ventilation grilles can be placed in walls, floors, ceilings, staircases, skirting boards, cornices, plinths, fireplaces, bay windows, in-built in furniture and many other places within the home. In some places the vent grilles may be used for a slightly different purpose such as in fireplaces where they would be used to allow a greater flow of air directly and specifically to the hearth itself. Vent grilles are also used to transfer air between rooms. Where vent grilles are used in air conditioning they are often referred to as supply and return grilles referring to whether they are covering the section of ducting where air is either drawn in or expelled. James Gilberts grilles are made for all these purposes and indeed most of our grilles are interchangeable to suit a wide variety of situations. Images note: Product images may vary slightly in shade due to lighting during imaging, your monitor display set up and colour variation changes between batch manufacturing. The Mesh Company has an enormous range of woven wire mesh products. We truly are an industry leader among suppliers of weld mesh and woven wire materials. With the capabilities we have in-house, we can provide virtually anything you require.

For further cleaning of the wire mesh, use mild soap and warm water. Take care not to rub too hard when wiping the wire mesh with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in the solution.

Woven wire mesh is one of the decorative interior metal products for which we have been renowned producers for a very long time. We have been producing decorative woven mesh since our inception in 1881. The production of woven wire mesh was one of the main reasons for which James Gilbert and Son was started in the first place and whilst we still manufacture the same styles using some of the same methods that were used over 135 years ago we are also constantly expanding our ranges. Natural brass grilles are sprayed with a fine clear lacquer to resist tarnishing and maintain appearance (unless requested otherwise). The brass wire we use can have either a plain surface or a reeded texture, which means that it has two shallow narrow lines rolled into the length of it. This gives the resultant wire panel a slightly more decorative and detailed finish overall. The sizes of the holes range from 6mm through, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 19mm and our largest standard size is 25mm. The brass wire can be woven into decorative grilles with square holes so that the holes appear as squares when they are fitted, or they can be trimmed at 45 degrees so they are oriented as diamond shapes. If it is desired, asymmetric diamonds can be achieved by weaving the panels over wide and under high by a specific ratio and then when they are squeezed on fitting they achieve the correct size for the hole into which they are to fit, but, the brass wire diamonds will now be elongated which is regarded as an attractive and unique decorative feature.Second time I've used Fine Mesh Metals and both times service and products have been excellent. I have recommended to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so." Our regency grilles are exact replicas of original grilles that were designed and used in the regency period. We use the same materials, patterns, assembly methods and manufacturing techniques. STRUCTURE OF REGENCY BRASS RADIATOR SCREENS

Wide range of products: We are known for offering a wide range of products, including mesh, fencing, netting, and other related products. Cleaning the wire mesh with a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth is an effective way to remove dust and debris. The wire should not be damaged by abrasive materials or rough cloths. We are always using our knowledge and experience to bring innovative products and metal processing techniques to the market and our 2016 range includes a whole portfolio of new materials designed to contrast and compliment our metalwork. The location of our central London works makes us ideally located for supplying high quality decorative metalwork at short notice to satisfy the fast paced requirements of London’s design and construction industries. Each opening should have a separate grille as rosette / rivet placement at the grille edge is dependent on grille size. (See Fixing below) Decorative accents: The warm, golden colour of brass mesh can add a decorative element to architectural and design projects. Brass can be used for feature walls, decorative screens, and interior design elements. We would recommend a heavier mesh for this purpose. This 2.5mm hole brass mesh is very popular for decorative applications.The beauty of real woven wire mesh is that it has both a physical texture and an aesthetic appeal that tell the story of the unique method of its manufacture. The weaving process is one of the oldest manufacturing methods in human history and although the manufacturing methods may have evolved over the millennia the alternating of horizontal and vertical strands in such a way that they hold each other together to form a sheet without bonding is still the same as it was thousands of years ago. This process gives a material otherwise available in strands, or in the case of metals, in wires, the opportunity to take on forms of great practical use and aesthetic beauty far beyond the sum total of them being grouped together in any other way. Brass fine mesh screen sheet is made from 0.263mm brass wire. This is top quality mesh that is especially suited to fine filtration and sieving. This is the type in which we specialize. Woven wire mesh is used in interior design for decorative screens and panels where partial obscuration of the view is required whilst also allowing the free flow of air. The most practical applications of wire mesh in interior design are for decorative grilles for radiator covers and for air vent covers for air conditioning systems.

If you would like a radiator cover grille that is very open in style then choose a large hole and a narrow wire. If you would prefer a radiator mesh that obscures the view through the radiator cover mesh then choose a wider wire with a smaller hole. You may also be interested in our blog about hardware cloth .

Although there are an increasing number of uses for plastic, metal is still the number one material used for making meshes. Metal mesh is still the most durable and versatile type of mesh available. Due to the ductile and tensile strengths of metal it is still one of the most durable and therefore appropriate materials to be made into long thin strands, which are then called wires. The existence of metal wires makes woven metal mesh possible. Copper mesh is one of the more attractive types of fine mesh. Copper mesh can be made by knitting or weaving wires or cutting slots in a sheet and expanding, uses of copper mesh include electro magnetic shielding, filtration, pest management and for decorative purposes. Decoratively copper mesh is used in artworks and in lighting.
