About the Project

RMIG ImagePerf perforated metal mesh was installed as cladding for the car park at a multi-national group headquarters in Slough.

ImagePerf uses perforations of varying aperture to represent the required image or brand logo. In this case a tree design.

The 3mm thick Aluminium sheets are fixed to Locker Architectural extrusion frames which are, in turn, bolted to the brickwork.

Installation by Canal Engineering.

Metal Mesh for Data Centres

Metal Wire Mesh for Data Centres

Introduction

In today's digital age, data centres play a critical role in the storage and processing of large amounts of data. With the ever-increasing demand for data storage, it's important to ensure that data centres are built to withstand the challenges of high density, high temperature, and high-power consumption. One of the key materials in the design of data centres is wire mesh, which has several applications in the construction and maintenance of these facilities.

What Is a Data Centre?

Data centres are specialised facilities designed to house large amounts of computer servers, storage devices, and networking equipment. They provide critical infrastructure and services for organizations  that require high-performance computing and data storage capabilities.
A data centre is designed to be highly secure, reliable, and scalable, with redundant power supplies, cooling systems, and network connections to ensure continuous uptime and availability of data. They are used by a wide range of organizations, including corporations, government agencies, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and cloud service providers.
Data centres can be located on-premises, within a company's own facility, or they can be outsourced to a third-party provider, who offers colocation services. Colocation services allow organizations to rent space within a data centre to house their servers and IT infrastructure, while still retaining control over their data and applications.

Computer servers

Why is Wire Mesh Used for Data Centres?

Wire mesh is the ideal solution for data centre cooling, through airflow management. Proper airflow is critical to keeping data centres cool and preventing equipment from overheating. Wire mesh panels can be installed on the front and back of server racks to allow for maximum airflow, while still providing security and preventing unauthorized access.

It is designed to be transparent, which allows for maximum visibility and surveillance around the data centre. This is important for security personnel, as it allows them to monitor the perimeter of the data centre without obstruction.

Our mesh can be customised to fit any size or shape, making it a versatile choice for data centre security. It can be used to create secure enclosures, partitions, or fencing around the perimeter of the data centre.

It represents a cost-effective solution for data centre security, as it is relatively inexpensive compared to other security materials. This makes it an ideal choice for data centres that are looking to reduce costs without compromising on security.

External Staircase Cladding and Building Facades

Wire mesh can also be used as an external staircase cladding or building facades for data centres. It can provide several benefits such as increased safety, durability, and aesthetics.

When using wire mesh as external cladding, it’s important to select the right material for the application. Stainless steel is a popular choice because it is strong, durable, and can withstand harsh weather conditions and fire. Additionally, it is resistant to corrosion, which is important in an environment where humidity levels may be high.

The size of the wire mesh openings (aperture) should also be considered. The mesh should be small enough to prevent objects or debris from falling through, but large enough to allow for proper ventilation and air circulation.

It is also important to ensure that the wire mesh is properly installed and meets local safety standards and regulations. A competent professional should be consulted to ensure that the wire mesh is installed correctly and will provide effective safety and durability for the application.

Pre-Crimped Wire Mesh Cladding for Added Security

Pre-crimped wire mesh can be a good choice for security at data centres, as it offers a number of benefits over other types of security fencing. Here are some of the key advantages of using pre-crimped wire mesh for data centre security:

Locker pre-crimped wire mesh is made from high-quality steel wire, which provides exceptional strength and durability. This makes it difficult for intruders to penetrate and helps to deter unauthorized access to the data centre.

It can be customised to fit any size or shape, making it a versatile choice for data centre security. It can be used to create secure enclosures, partitions, or fencing around the perimeter of the data centre.

Wire mesh is a transparent material, which allows for maximum visibility and surveillance around the data centre. This can be particularly useful for security personnel, as it allows them to monitor the perimeter of the data centre without obstruction.

Benefits for Fire Protection

Finally, wire mesh can be used for fire protection in data centres. In the event of a fire, wire mesh can be used to contain and control the spread of flames and smoke. Fire-resistant wire mesh panels can be installed in areas where high temperatures are expected, such as server rooms and electrical distribution areas.

Pre-crimped metal wire security mesh

Conclusion

In conclusion, wire mesh plays a critical role in the design and construction of modern data centres.
Its versatility and strength make it an ideal material for airflow management, physical security, raised floors, and fire protection. As the demand for data storage continues to grow, the use of wire mesh will likely become even more prevalent in the design and maintenance of data centres.
