Tensioned screen made of stainless steel woven wire covers many openings on the south and west facades of this mixed-use project. The pattern provides midday and afternoon sun shading and offers privacy both day and night.

2″ aluminum mesh rail fill surrounds exterior balconies and stairs at this community library in southwest British Columbia.

Sun shading can become an important aspect of building function as well as assist with LEED certification.  Since we are a manufacturer we have the flexibility to create a custom shade for your requirements.  Perforated metal is the most common and economical material used but woven wire lends itself to a unique look.            

Many TWG products can be used to enhance a simple elevation façade, provide security or hide HVAC units.  From simple welded wire panels to perforated metal panels and detailed, stainless steel tension screen systems; bring your design needs and idea to us so we can find the perfect material for your project.              

Woven wire covers two massive entry doors Wieden + Kennedy office, located in the midst of Portland, Oregon’s Pearl District. Text graphics are painted onto the screen post-installation.

138 Living Screen® panels are installed on two facades of this six-story parking facility in San Antonio, Texas. Many of the panels measure 9’ by 21’; to complete the installation, some screens are mounted above one another to give the illusion on a single panel spanning from ground to parapet. This “stacked” assembly will allow for well-tended climbing vines to extend the entire height of the building – a Texas-sized […]

Mounted to the southeast facade of this parking structure are several installations that demonstrate not only the capabilities of tension screen as a cladding and sunshading system but also its possibilities as an eye-catching signage display. In this instance, the graphic images were applied by an artist whose spray booth size limitations forced screens to be manufactured in 10′ heights; typically tension screens may extend greater than 20′ in height […]

Located in a natural setting north of Lake Tahoe, the building’s exterior showcases crimped and woven wire as rail fill. Individual panels are finished with banding on all sides, then mounted to tabs that connect to the rail structure. Finish colors are custom-made to match the metal roof and other architectural and aesthetic features around the timber-lined property.

Black powdercoated woven wire infill contrasts with blonde wooden framing at this private residence near Lake Tahoe, California. Used in both interior and exterior applications, the weave pattern offers sturdiness and security while maintaining a look that matches the home’s modern/rustic aesthetic.

This parking structure’s challenging site – located on a steep hillside along a busy boulevard and fronting an urban park – made for the type of project TWG embraces. The architectural firm’s intent was to create a parking facility that, by design, has as little visual impact on its surroundings as possible. One method for achieving this goal is the extensive use of TWG’s Living Screen® in order to soften […]

An example of how woven wire can be used for retail installations, framed woven wire is the backing material for Safeway’s main entry signage. The solution provides a semi-transparent “canopy” in a convex form; the steel tube forms behind the screen were also provided by TWG.

The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) chose TWG’s woven wire for sunshading screens atop their new electronic toll collection gantries, which are placed throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. These durable screens serve to protect the automated cameras and minimize glare.

An open-air pavilion in the midst of a public park in Grand Prairie, this structure provides welcome shade from the hot Texas sun. A cable-supported design makes the concentric woven wire circles appear to float weightlessly; mesh weaves of two different densities create the illusion of lighter and darker rings.

The Living Screen® system connects to Bard Hall’s multi-angled exterior façade by using custom 2-piece brackets ranging from 10″ – 24” in length. TWG designed narrower brackets to allow for varying angles of attachment through the screens.  The top of each panel was designed to slope to align with the roof line behind it.  Our in-house design team worked with Contractors to devise solutions that the Architect and Owner approved […]

471 framed and powder coated panels are applied to all four facades of this parking facility. The system devised is a modification of standard Living Screen®, with wire mesh on one face to promote climbing plant growth and perforated plate on the opposite face to provide visual interest and security. The perforated pattern (Matrix) was specially designed by the Architect in collaboration with TWG’s Engineering team; the seemingly random array […]

At this multi-story parking structure, Dual Secure® panels fill large openings between structural columns and floors. The 3″ depth of the powdercoated welded wire panels adds strength and allows for greater spans to be achieved with fewer bracket connections. Climbing plant growth is not a requirement at this installation, therefore the selection of Dual Secure over the similar Living Screen® system is appropriate.

Two stainless steel woven wire patterns, held in tension, clad the entire western and southwestern façades of this six-story parking structure. The weave pattern at ground level surrounds the entire structure: Venetian Waterways 5C is a custom design to provide security with greater transparency. The weave applied to the upper western and southwestern façades, Venetian Waterways I, is a standard pattern that provides similar transparency, excellent sunshading and a reflective […]

Curving footpaths meander through 9-acres of grass fields and wooded wetlands in this suburban neighborhood green space. TWG supplied several dozen welded wire panels as barriers along the wooden bridges, each powdercoated to blend in with the natural surroundings. Custom mounts were created for attachment to the thick wooden pilings.

Over one mile of TWG’s wire rail infill was installed along the pedestrian and bicycling path that skirts the Willamette River’s eastern edge, including the overlooking Steel Bridge Riverwalk. The Eastbank Esplanade connects with downtown Portland and features multiple examples of local artwork, scenic vistas and natural habitat in its three-mile loop. The project received the Design Award of Merit from ASLA in 2004.

Sturdy woven wire panels cover the outdoor recreation yard at this correctional facility. As specified, a heavier wire gauge was provided and set within a steel framework. Besides meeting the project’s rigid requirements for safety and security, the finished installation provides good sunshading for the courtyard below.
