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.

- Flat  
- 50% Fullness  
- 100% Fullness  

 

Additional properties


Permanent
While the initial investment might be higher than conventional fabrics, metal mesh drapes are far more economical in the long run due to their maintenance-free and long-lasting characteristics.  

 

Maintenance Free
This innovative material tends to repel dust and dirt, needing little more than occasional brushing or gentle dusting to keep it looking pristine. In the case of stains, they can be easily removed using a mild soap and warm water.  

 

Fireproof
These drapes are engineered with a melting point that matches that of the base metal, ensuring safety in various environments.  

 

Air Conductive
The design allows it to conceal heating and air conditioning outlets, while still providing space for warm and cool air to circulate freely throughout the area, ensuring comfort.  

 

Stability
Once installed, metal mesh drapes maintain their structural integrity and will not shrink or stretch during use, providing a consistent appearance.  

 

Versatility
The versatility of these drapes enables them to be hung in various configurations, such as strips or panels, or even combined to create a uniquely versatile metal fabric that exhibits excellent draping qualities.  

 

Mildewproof
The material remains unaffected by moisture, dampness, and humidity, offering peace of mind in varying environmental conditions

Sunrot-proof
Specifically designed to withstand even the most intense sunlight, ensuring longevity no matter where they are placed.  

 

Light Diffusing
The mesh offers remarkable light filtration, with the level of control over the light phenomenon dependent on the chosen fullness and the surrounding light conditions.  

 

Max Panel Sizes
- Height: Up to 20 feet  
- Width: Up to 20 feet  

If larger sizes are required, multiple panels will be necessary to meet the specifications.

 

Finishes
Ring Mesh Drapes can be customized further in finishes that include Natural Stainless Steel, a selection of six standard enamel colors, or a choice of custom color to perfectly align with the client's vision.

Reference project

 

Madison Desert Club

This vacation home, located in La Quinta’s Madison Club, was designed to resemble a boutique hotel for a sophisticated client who enjoys entertaining family and friends. The design aimed to make the most of the stunning desert views and pay tribute to the Golden Hollywood era of nearby Palm Springs. The client's preference for indoor/outdoor living heavily influenced the project's design. The Ring Mesh fabric by Whiting & Davis was chosen for the living room partitions due to its longevity, fireproof and mildewproof properties, resistance to harsh sunlight, and its ability to allow light diffusion and air circulation, making it a low-maintenance and practical choice for enhancing the living room space.
