From your home’s stairs to job site catwalks, railings and infills can use the sleek and customizable material of wire mesh! It may not be the material your mind first thinks of but wire mesh is an optimal choice to fit the safety, durability, and aesthetic needs of your railings and infills. Let’s explore the benefits of wire mesh as a workable material for these stair and railing needs, as well as what options from Lawrence Sintered Metals may best suit your style and needs.
Why Choose Wire Mesh Railings and Framed Wire Mesh Panels?
Wire mesh, also known as wire cloth or fabric, is an excellent choice for a variety of domestic and industrial applications. Wire mesh has long been regarded as a top choice for projects due to the mesh’s varying grid-like patterns that not only help it to withstand its environment but add unique design elements to its whereabouts. Available in numerous designs and styles, wire mesh for railing and railing panels often come with a variety of customizable choices for different base materials, finishes, opening sizes, and more. A mesh stair railing will offer strength and flexibility, while framed welded wire mesh panels will offer reliable performance and safety at a relatively low cost.
When we refer to the customizable nature of wire mesh, we truly emphasize the unique options available. While some alloys may offer more stability than others, if you’re looking for wire mesh railing panels to compliment your already existing aesthetic, Lawrence Sintered Metals can help. For example, the ever so common 316L stainless steel wire mesh option fits both durability standards and any silver fixtures your home might have. On the other hand, a more astute copper or brass alloy may be a preferred choice. Both of these options offer corrosion resistance while boasting beautiful coloring.
How to Select the Right Mesh Railing
While all wire mesh options can offer a reliable solution for your railings and infills, choosing the right mesh railing will rely on a few different factors. While it shouldn’t be your main deciding factor, cost does matter when it comes to selecting the right mesh stair railing and wire mesh railing panels for your home or business. While Lawrence Sintered Metals offer competitive pricing for all of its materials and services, the market does play a factor in which alloys may be more cost-effective than others. As you move toward more unique alloys like brass, copper, and bronze, you will likely pay a higher price than a more common alloy like our stainless steel or aluminum mesh.
You will also have the option to choose the weave type of your wire mesh. When it comes to wire mesh railing panels the intricate design of the weave not only offers a unique look but helps contribute to the strength and durability of the material you’ve chosen. Stainless steel welded wire mesh is very popular due to its uniform grid pattern and attractive price point. Woven wire mesh in weave styles like intercrimp, lock crimp, and plain weave are also commonly used in this type of application.
