What Are Metal Fabrics? What Are They Used For?

Inside a building, metal fabrics have many more potential uses. They can be used as railings and balcony protectors, acoustic sound panels, suspended ceiling surfaces, partitions, and more. When choosing the right metal fabric for a particular project, it is important to do your research and find the material that would work most appropriately for your needs.

Benefits of Using a Metal Fabric

Metal fabrics have many advantages. One is being resistant to high temperatures and inclement weather. If you are building something that needs to be exposed to the outdoors on a constant basis, then you need to be certain the material can withstand all kinds of weather extremes.

Along these same lines, metal fabrics are known for their strength. In most cases, stainless steel metal fabrics are the most reliable. While bronze, aluminum, and galvanized steel are sometimes used in similar applications, stainless steel can withstand heavy use, high impacts, corrosion, and temperature extremes.

Metal fabrics are also versatile. Here at GKD, we offer a wide range of styles certain to meet all kinds of needs and preferences. From Helix to Omega to Escale and more, we are sure you will find something ideally suited for your architectural or engineering project.
