Wedge wire stainless steel open grid flooring at the V&A museum
The centrepiece of the Roman baths is a pool lined with sheets of lead and filled with hot spa water. It was once covered by a 40 metre high barrel-vaulted hall which in its time was a massive structure. The bath is 1.6m deep, ideal for bathing and has steps on all sides. Bathers would have had benches and small tables around the sides for drinks and snacks.
External mesh cladding has appeared on a variety of developments over the last decade including solar shading on office buildings, decorative facades on car parks and rain screens on stairwells. Most of the projects to date have used woven mesh, cable mesh, perforated sheet or expanded metal. However, the structural properties of wedgewire & Vee Wire mesh means that less sub-structure and less framing is required for the installation and therefore the overall cost of the works package is surprisingly affordable. Another advantages of using wedge wire in this application is that larger panel sizes are available which greatly reduce overall fitting time.
This image shows stainless steel wedgewire cladding providing ventilation at the same time as high security.
In the above post we show stunning but very heavy duty wedgewire cladding used for ventilation purposes but at the same time high security. This image shows a much lighter material used to cladding for maximum day and night effect.
With lights behind it becomes a wonderful glowing structure at night.
This tough but durable material can be used for so many different applications because it does what you tell it to do. These seats have been made out of Vee Wire that as has rolled and formed and welded to frames. The result is a fantastic clean, minimal appearance, which demonstrates contemporary artistic design using a beautifully engineered material.
The added benefit is that it is rock-solid, resistant to vandalism and all weather conditions. These seats will require no maintenance for decades to come.
St Mary Axe was a medieval parish in the City of London. The Church of St Mary Axe was demolished in 1561 and now this street is home to the skyscraper; Number 30 St Mary Axe otherwise known as the Gherkin. More recently the area has benefited from the construction of another building called Bevis Marks. Access between these buildings is via a new bridge with our anti-slip, blast finish, heel safe, stainless steel open grid wedge wire flooring.
London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2 opened earlier this month. Intamesh has successfully designed, manufactured and delivered more than 250 stainless steel wedge wire grille modules. The grilles have integral fixing details and close tolerance rolled radius corners. Installed in signage columns, desks and ventilation units, the material provides a bright, clean and perfectly balanced environment for this new terminal building.
This new terminal is known as The Queens's Terminal. Terminal 2's previous building was the first to open at Heathrow in 1955 with a capacity for 1 million passengers. the new terminal has the capacity to handle 20 million people a year and by the end of 2014, there will be more then 300 daily flights to 54 global destinations.

Attention to detail makes all the difference. There is no doubt that stainless steel is not the cheapest option available for floor grilles but when you consider the drainage efficiency, durability, strength, and non slip nature of wedge wire when used for open grilles there is no better solution.
There are a greater number of wedge wire projects helping to elevate the quality of finishes in central Europe than in the UK. However, every now and again examples are appearing in high specification UK developments. One of the more recent to be found is the new taxi rank at Paddington Station where wedge wire drainage channels help keep the area clean, neat, tidy and looking like it has been designed to last well into the twenty first century. This is another great example of modern British architectural design fitting comfortably in surroundings of a building of outstanding historical relevance. We hope to see more designers working with this highly refined product in future.

This year's UK sales have hit new heights with the introduction of new wedge wire product ranges including general industry filtration, screening, separation and water treatment.
