System Definition

What this system
is โ€” and isn't.

Flexibility is a material property โ€” not a style choice
Flexible metal fabric achieves its drape from wire diameter, aperture size, and weave density. These parameters determine how the material hangs, folds, and responds to installation tension.
Finish consistency across the roll length is a production standard
Colour variation, surface condition changes, and finish inconsistency along a roll length are production defects. Each roll is inspected before dispatch.
Tensioned and draped applications have different specification requirements
Tensioned applications require precise dimensional tolerance and controlled pre-tension values. Draped applications specify hang weight and drape radius. Both are confirmed from drawings.
Engineering Note

All specifications for this system are defined from the project drawing or brief. A drawing review is conducted before any quote is issued. Specification conflicts are flagged in writing โ€” not resolved by assumption.

Not interchangeable with rigid panel systems where structural infill is required
Applications

Where this system
is specified.

Application environments drive specification decisions. Each context has different structural requirements, finish requirements, and installation constraints.

Draped Feature Walls ยท Application image

Material Selection

Material is selected
by environment โ€” not
by preference.

Material grade, wire composition, and surface finish are determined by the operating environment, installation exposure, and design life requirement of the project.
