Premium Ring Mesh fabric by Whiting & Davis is expertly crafted from interlocking 7mm stainless steel welded rings, designed to provide unrivaled strength and durability. With an impressive tensile strength ranging from 1500 to 12500 psi, this versatile material is ideally suited for a variety of applications. It is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use and can be used as decorative draperies to enhance any space. The unique construction of interwoven stainless steel rings results in a fabric that is both supple and strong. This combination allows the mesh to collapse gracefully in both horizontal and vertical directions, offering flexibility that can adapt to various design needs and preferences.
Renowned for its longevity, Ring Mesh is built to last and minimizes the need for ongoing maintenance. Its inherent properties make it fireproof, mildewproof, resistant to the harshest sunlight, and capable of allowing both light diffusion and air circulation, which contributes to a pleasant and well-ventilated environment.
