Jacobson 612 Traditional Pre-Crimped Wire Mesh

Heavy, opaque, and opulent, perfect for wall and lift cladding.

The mesh is formed from a combination of flat and round wires. The end result is a robust, completely opaque product, more visually similar to embossed sheet metal than a woven mesh. Perfect for high-end projects.

Dependent on your application and criteria, Jacobson 612 is available in the following materials:

Stainless Steel
Aluminium
Copper
Brass

A secondary powder-coated, or anodised (aluminium only) finish can also be applied in a myriad of different colours and effects.

Metals in the warp and weft directions (horizontal and vertical) can be mixed to achieve stunning visual effects e.g. brass wire running vertically and stainless steel running horizontally.

Jacobson 612 Traditional Pre-Crimped Wire Mesh is a Codina Architectural product, supplied and distributed in the UK by Locker Architectural.

Design challenges

Each panel had identical sinusoidal corrugations. The perforated pattern, as well as the depth and wavelength of the profile, can be varied to create a bespoke facade.
The panels were only 2mm thick but had to vertically span up to 3m unsupported. The radius profile of the panels had to be deep enough to impose the required rigidity.
The constraints of the rolling tool had to be considered when determining radii.
The panels were designed to overlap enabling neighbouring panels to share common fixings.
Wind, snow and ice forces were considered.
The design maintains rigidity whilst having a 40% laser-cut open area for air flow.
The slot centres were adjusted to take account of the sinusoidal radii.
The drawing extract below shows a typical laser-cut sheet prior to, and following radius forming:

Fabrication Challenges

Perforation slots had to be laser cut prior to forming the radii.
The slots were not to distort during the radius forming.
The perforated sheets had to be incrementally “bumped” in a break press to form the exact radii.
The sinusoidal radii had to be consistent from panel to panel.
The panels were grit blasted prior to being polyester powder-coated. The grit blasting process removes the toolmarks.
The corner panels were site measured and installed last.
The laser cut panels had to be consistently accurate to the millimetre as they could not be altered on site.
The following images show the mesh panels laser-cut in their unformed state and in their radiused condition: -

Jackson House, Manchester, UK

Biscay 7 Spiral Mesh Curtain complete with Copper Painted Finish utilised to create a magnificent decorative ceiling feature at the reception to Jackson house, a modern mixed-use office building in Sale, Manchester.

Video and images kindly supplied by Contract Services Ltd.

Dubbed affectionally as “the swirl”, the Biscay mesh Specified by Garnett Netherwood Architects, forms the pivotal piece at the heart of this refurbishment project, installed by Contract Services Ltd.

The curtain mesh is suspended from wires back to the ceiling, giving the impression that it is floating.

Bringing the Inside Out.

Locker Architectural were sub-contracted by Ardmore Construction to design, supply and install over 2,000m2 of Rope Diamond Ferruled mesh for use at Greenwich Design District. The project was hailed as a great success and featured on the cover of Architects Journal.

Specified by Architecture 00, buildings C1 and D1 fully utilise the unparalleled flexibility of this mesh for façade cladding, balustrading, bird netting and forming a state of the art rooftop Multi-use games area.

The transparency of the mesh is intended to strip back to the most basic of building components, while affording tenants with a truly impressive view of the surroundings. The stairs and lifts are also on the exterior of the building, truly connecting the interior and exterior of the buildings.

Thanks to Taran Wilkhu the photographer for photos 1 – 4, and Greenwich Design District for commissioning them.

Aluminium Brocklebank 20/5 mesh at 2 Cumberland Place Dublin.

Over 500 panels of Brocklebank 20/5 were used to create the bronze fins which add texture to this modern glass façade.

The mesh was sandwiched in a box section frame, before being powder coated.

The mesh was installed by GLF Façade Specialists and specified by Billings Design Associates.

In tandem with the perforated metal supplied by others, the mesh forms a brise soleil for the office workers within the building.
