Stainless Flexmesh
Secure and attractive fencing with Stainless Flexmesh
FLEX Mesh offers an aesthetically pleasing, cost-competitive alternative stainless balustrade infill. It can be installed using traditional stainless steel tubes or stainless cables tensioned with swaged fittings.
FLEX Mesh provides a secure and easy to install alternative to balustrades for bridges, staircases, marinas and multi-storey carparks, large barrier fences, wildlife enclosures and building facades. The thin stainless wire rope mesh is ideally suited for light, transparent structures under extremely high loads in harsh environments. Where fall protection and transparency are required, such as mezzanine floors, this load-rated stainless mesh can be combined as an integral part of the architectural structure.
Made from high quality ASIS 316 marine stainless cable and secured with seamless stainless steel ferrules for added strength and corrosion resistance, FLEX Mesh offers a cost competitive, low maintenance balustrade solution for coastal areas.

By combining transparency, strength and durability FLEX Mesh is ideal for transport hubs and other locations where it is necessary to separate the public from secure areas.
FLEX Mesh's 3D flexibility provides a light and almost invisible fall protection barrier. It is an example of how technical and aesthetic demands can be combined as an integral part of architectural components. The mesh can be fixed in either the horizontal or vertical direction depending on the application and the appearance required.
MESH GEOMETRY
Flex Mesh is custom manufactured to ISO9001 standards in widths and lengths to suit your balustrade, railing or architectural application. Diagonal and irregular shapes can also be supplied. Mesh sizes range from 30mm x 30mm to 250mm x 250mm with stainless cable diameters from 1.5mm to 4mm.

Mesh width is the distance from the middle of one ferrule to the middle of the next one. Optimum tension is achieved when a 60o angle is formed between the two equilateral triangles. Once installed, Flexmesh structures are very stable because the tension is distributed evenly over the entire mesh.
To accommodate the forces generated by the mesh when it is fully tensioned and to ensure stability and tension, Flexmesh must be secured in place by stainless cables or stainless tubes. This suppporting structure allows the mesh to flex when a force is applied and for the force to be transferred to the perimeter structure holding it. This defection allows for a wide variety of three dimensional shapes to be presented to the structure. Where a regular mesh pattern is required, the mesh can be laced directly onto a rod or tube frame.
