Welded Wire Fencing for Private Residence
A private homeowner, who is also a professional architect, wanted a low-maintenance fencing system that wouldn't rot or need painting every few years. They also wanted to use architecturally attractive materials that were durable to match their mid-century modern style home. The fencing fabric was also very important to be balanced visually with the beautiful forestry around their house. The powder-coated WDZ-545 welded wire mesh was the solution they were looking for. This ornamental welded wire mesh creates a stylish pattern to enhance the landscaping of the home, while providing a safe and functional barrier.

AVA NoMa
The design of AVA NoMa—a 13-story, urban infill high rise residential building—nods to Washington, D.C. NoMa neighborhood’s industrial past while embodying a ‘refined industrial’ aesthetic that is inherently modern. To help realize this design vision, KTGY Architecture + Planning specified Banker Wire’s L-62 and LZ-11 woven wire mesh— patterns that have roots in the industrial world, yet lend themselves well to architectural applications as a result of Banker Wire’s precise, high-definition lock crimp manufacturing capabilities.
Specified at AVA NoMa, Banker Wire’s L-62 and LZ-11 woven wire mesh were utilized throughout 20,600 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, including... More

Variogate Safety Pallet Gate Systems
Carelessness, hastiness or sloppiness cause lifting points between different floors to not be (properly) closed, which causes a safety hazard. Manually operated fences, gates or chains are not always properly placed back or closed, leading to all kinds of risks!You want to ensure that your mezzanine floor or warehouse floor is a safe work environment. Staff members must be protected from bodily harm, while damage to the building and goods is prevented. Being able to work quickly and efficiently, without burdensome and time-consuming safety procedures is a prerequisite.A safety gate, also called a cantilevered loading platform, is the only safety equipment that fully eliminates these hazards for loading locations with various floors.The best...

Blindgänger
Let's start with the location: an industrial area. Trucks move in and out, work is being done. A storage yard and a concrete factory are not exactly watchmaker workshops, they are – or were – rough. The position of manufacturing halls and office containers results from operational planning, urban planning is hardly involved. The location is neither beautiful nor ugly; it's built along functional criteria. (…)
The concept for the Blindgänger project, as the authors ambiguously name their work*, proposes a linear space instead of the expected fence (Translator's note: around the cultural workshops). It correctly fulfils the same function (that of separation), but goes on to provide a rich experiential space for the human senses. With the wal... More

Dulles Corridor Metrorail Walkways
The new Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line has significantly reduced the commute time between Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. In the first phase of the project, a direct route runs from Washington, D.C. to Tysons Corner, but will be eventually expanded to run all the way to Dulles International Airport. In addition to the new line, pedestrian bridges featuring more than 60,000-square-feet of Banker Wire woven wire mesh were also created and interspersed throughout the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line. The pedestrian bridges, with Banker Wire woven wire mesh, connect metro stations to parking lots – helping commuters cross busy roads more safely.
For this project, efficiency was of the utmost importance, as the bridges... More
