Laminated Glass Decorative Wire Mesh

Product Overview

Laminated Glass Decorative Wire Mesh is a high-end architectural material that combines the safety and durability of laminated glass with the aesthetic appeal of metal mesh. The wire mesh is embedded between two or more layers of glass, bonded together by a strong interlayer (usually PVB or EVA). This product offers privacy, security, and artistic expression without compromising natural light transmission.

Material Composition

Glass: High-quality float glass, clear, ultra-clear, or tinted (Bronze, Grey, Blue, etc.). Can also be tempered or heat-strengthened for added safety.

Wire Mesh: Woven or expanded metal mesh. Common materials include:

• Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316)

• Brass

• Copper

• Bronze

• Galvanized Iron

Interlayer: Transparent or colored PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) or EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) film that bonds the glass and mesh together.

Specifications

Standard Glass Thickness: 5mm + 5mm, 6mm + 6mm, 8mm + 8mm, 10mm + 10mm (Custom thicknesses available upon request).

Mesh Opening: Ranges from fine (¼ inch) to large decorative patterns (2 inches) depending on the weave.

Wire Diameter: Typically 0.3mm to 2.0mm.

Max Size: Up to 2500mm x 5000mm (dependent on glass and mesh availability).

Color Options: Mesh can be natural metallic, painted, or antique finished. Glass can be clear, low-iron, or digitally printed.

Key Features

Decorative & Aesthetic: Creates unique visual effects, shadows, and light diffusion. Offers a modern, industrial, or classic look depending on the mesh pattern.

Safety & Security: Acts as a deterrent. Even if the glass breaks, the mesh and interlayer hold the shards together, preventing injury and resisting forced entry.

Privacy: Obscures the clear view while allowing light to pass through, making it ideal for confidential spaces.

UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the wire mesh inside the glass sharp? Can I touch it?

A: No. The mesh is completely sealed and encapsulated within the PVB/EVA interlayer. The surface of the glass is smooth and safe to touch, with no exposed metal edges.

Q2: Can this product be used as a safety or security glass?

A: Yes. To enhance security, the glass panels are usually tempered before lamination. The combination of tempering and the embedded mesh makes the panel highly resistant to impact. In the event of breakage, the glass adheres to the mesh, preventing dangerous shards from falling.

Q3: How do I clean it?

A: Clean it just like standard glass. Use a soft cloth and standard non-abrasive glass cleaner or mild soapy water. Avoid hard brushes that could scratch the surface. The embedded mesh requires no maintenance.

Q4: Can I cut the glass on-site?

A: No. This is a fabricated product. Once the glass is laminated with the mesh, it cannot be cut or drilled on-site without risking delamination or breakage. All holes and cutouts must be specified and machined during manufacturing.

Q5: Does the metal mesh rust over time?

A: It depends on the material chosen. Stainless Steel (SS304/SS316) and Brass are highly corrosion-resistant and suitable for humid environments like bathrooms. Standard iron or non-coated steel may corrode if moisture penetrates the edges. We recommend sealing the edges with silicone during installation for longevity.
