Custom sample development

Confirm what the sample is meant to prove

Use the sample to decide appearance, finish, scale and connection details before confirming the next step.

From project drawings to reviewable details

We translate approved project drawings and reference inputs into sample, detail and interface reviews that support project delivery.

Swipe to compare all six details

Ribbon-like metal strips arranged in a repeating zigzag structure — Ribbon structure

Flat-strip mesh samples with light, dark and brass-coloured visible finishes — Flat-strip finish comparison

Curved and flat mesh structures with copper-coloured and dark visible surfaces — Curved & flat pattern comparison

Four silver-coloured mesh samples arranged for direct visual comparison of their structures — Structure options

Full mesh sample with a ruler used as a dimensional review reference — Overall scale

Metal mesh and its shadow shown for visual discussion of light and pattern — Light & shadow

Sample the installation logic, not only the mesh.

Where the project requires it, the sample can include orientation, edge bars, termination parts and connection hardware so the customer can review how the system is expected to arrive, relate to adjoining work and be installed.

Swipe to review all three views

Sample mesh edge bar with two visible connection hardware components — Hardware & termination

Complete mesh sample with edge bars shown to review its orientation — Sample orientation

Oblique view of a mesh sample showing the relationship between mesh and an edge bar — Edge-bar relationship

Final fixing and interface details remain subject to project technical review.

Sample review record

Model / product family

Record the model or product family related to this sample.

Application context

Approval scope & open decisions

Define what this sample should confirm and what remains open.

Five sample decisions

Confirm only the points this sample is intended to approve.

01Structure & openness

Does the pattern suit the application?

02Colour & finish

Is the surface acceptable in the intended light?

03Size & direction

Are the dimensions and viewing orientation clear?

04Edge & connection

Does the detail answer the interface question?

05Approval scope

What is approved, and what remains open?

Make the next sample decision clear.
