JA-F001

Flexible Rod Fabric

A cable-and-rod mesh with a clear rectangular rhythm for large architectural surfaces where visual openness, directional flexibility and support engineering must work together.

JA-F001 Flexible Rod Fabric approved product reference

Choose the structure by the installed result—not by a catalogue image.

JA-F001 should be selected by elevation scale and interface conditions. The mesh is only one part of the result; cable direction, rod direction, support spacing, tension, panel breaks and edge hardware determine whether the installed surface remains controlled.

Stainless-steel cable elements run in one direction and rigid rods cross them in the other, creating a flexible sheet with a strong linear grid. Its behaviour differs by direction and must be coordinated with the proposed suspension or frame.

What must be resolved before this model becomes an order-ready project item

  1. 01

    Mesh orientation on the elevation

  2. 02

    Allowable panel width and panel breaks

  3. 03

    Top load path and lower restraint

  4. 04

    Edge cable, clevis, frame or custom connection

  5. 05

    Wind, access and maintenance conditions

  6. 06

    Alignment of grid across adjacent panels

The same mesh must answer different project risks

Architect / Designer

Control grid scale, transparency, moiré risk, orientation and continuity across the elevation.

Facade / Technical Team

Define loads, support centres, deflection limits, edge restraint and coordination with the primary structure.

Contractor / Procurement

Confirm panel schedule, hardware responsibility, approved sample and packing sequence before release.

Enterprise technical-sheet values, kept separate from final project approval

These values identify the recorded reference configuration. They are not a substitute for the approved quotation, sample, drawing and order specification.

Give our engineering team enough information to protect the design intent

01 / Drawing inputs

  1. 01

    Dimensioned elevation and panel schedule

  2. 02

    Mesh orientation

  3. 03

    Primary structure and fixing zones

  4. 04

    Design loads and site exposure

  5. 05

    Required edge and tensioning concept

  6. 06

    Finish and sample approval requirement

02 / Sample checks

  1. 01

    Cable and rod spacing

  2. 02

    Surface flatness under proposed tension

  3. 03

    Edge termination

  4. 04

    Grid alignment between panels

  5. 05

    Finish consistency and handling marks

03 / Controlled order release

After the model, configuration, finish, edges, dimensions and responsibilities are approved, the order record carries those requirements into production planning, inspection, packing and delivery coordination.

What buyers usually need to confirm

Can JA-F001 be ordered directly from the reference specification?

The listed values come from the enterprise technical sheet and describe a reference configuration. Final material, dimensions, finish, edges, interfaces and order scope must be confirmed against the current project.

What should be submitted for an engineering review?

Send dimensioned drawings, application, panel schedule, supporting construction, edge or fixing intent, finish requirement, site conditions and the required approval date.

Why is a physical sample still required?

A sample confirms the actual weave, scale, colour, reflection, edge workmanship and handling expectation. For framed or tensioned work, a representative assembly or mock-up may be needed.

Start with evidence

Send the drawing, application and approval target.

We will review product fit, missing project inputs, sample requirements and the path to an order-ready specification.
