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.

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 […]

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.

Perforated plates create a tall vertical screen that undulates across three facades of this parking structure for Legacy Emanuel in Portland, Oregon. The strength of interconnecting bent panels allows for greater spanning distances and minimal connection points. Hole openings in each panel admit ample daylight while maintaining security.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Exterior signage at one of the largest shopping centers in the state of Oregon includes TWG-provided panels of perforated metal as a backdrop. Other applications include various forms of woven wire sunshading: planes that extend horizontally above storefront windows and decorative angled screens that cast long shadows across stucco facades. Welded wire was also used in way-finding applications on the mall site.

As part of the remodel of a 1963-era building, sun shading is a key component to the new “green” initiatives embarked upon by the building’s owner. TWG provided framed panels of welded wire that are installed as horizontal shades above each exterior window. The panels, coupled with high-performance windows, work to reduce heat gain and energy costs while creating shadow lines for a dynamic exterior on a light-colored brick and […]
