Railings

The wire mesh railing infill panels recently installed at Norfolk County Hall bring new life to the 1960s building. Located in Norwich, UK, Norfolk County Hall is the seat of the Norfolk County Council. Being the headquarters for a local government authority, the building’s interior should reflect a dignified and elegant appearance.

Museum De Lakenhal has been the museum for art, crafts and history of the city of Leiden since 1874. Since then it has been located in the monumental "Laecken-Halle" from 1641 by city architect Arent van's-Gravesande, a perfect example of Dutch Classicism that embodies the pride of the city as a central trading center for all types of fabrics.   As a museum, De Lakenhal has already seen two major expansions: in 1890 with the Harteveltzaal and in 1921 with the Papevleugel. In addition, the conglomerate has been rebuilt again and again. Almost labyrinthine corridors were created, which sent the visitors through the different parts of the building in ever new ways. The primary goal of the 2013 architecture competition was to simplify ev... More

The main stair towers will be enclosed in glass and... More

On July 4, 2013, the Statue of Liberty reopened after undergoing a number of renovations – including new stairway railings inside the monument’s pedestal. Banker Wire provided architectural mesh infill panels for the railings, enhancing the look and durability of the interior staircases.

Straight sections of wire are connected by highly-defined, lockcrimped intersection, ensuring the panels’ stability. This heightens their ability to provide fall protection to the monument’s 3.5 million anticipated annual visitors. The architectural... More
