Ferrule Stainless Steel Wire Rope Mesh
The stainless steel ferrule rope mesh is manufactured from robust, high-grade DIN 1.4401/AISI 316 stainless steel cables. The cables are swaged with stainless steel, copper or aluminium clamps in a special process to form a mesh structure that is both stressable and flexible and suited for either two- or three-dimensional applications. The stainless steel net is suited for interior and exterior applications.
Installed on railings or in stairways, it provides stability and clear guidance. On façades, it can serve as a climbing support for plants or it can set delicate accents as a dividing element in large spaces.
As a permanent protection and fall-stop feature for bridges or observation platforms, it is totally UV resistant and weatherproof – in contrast to traditional knotted synthetic-fibre rope nets.
The greatest advantage, however, is its delicate structure. Especially in zoo animal enclosures or protective nets, the visual impairment due to the unavoidable barrier is minimal.
Properties
Stainless Steel Wire Rope Mesh is a construction of corrosion-resistant steel ropes placed parallel to one another in pairs connected by alternating sleeves to produce a symmetrical bent pattern. The nets are fabricated application-specifically according to your customer specifications. This means there are no limits to the shape and size. The mesh orientation of Webnet can be selected as desired, yet it is typically arranged vertically or horizontally for geometric shapes.
The items in the programme are fabricated of high-quality corrosion-resistant steel of the material groups AISI 316 and AISI 316L (1.4401 and 1.4404).
Production
The wire rope nets are designed and fabricated in our factory to the exact size designated in the plans provided by the structural engineer. This greatly simplifies and accelerates the installation on the building structure because no cutting to size or adaptation is required at the job site. The result is impressive: Uniform mesh size, consistent tensioning and perfect edge connections.
The nets are put together by hand and are subsequently pressed using machinery. This ensures that the Webnet achieves a consistent quality and guaranteed strength values. The exceptionally corrosion-resistant steel for exterior applications (AISI 316/316L) is processed with care and its quality is monitored continuously. This is the only way for us to be sure that our customers receive the best steel quality.
Applications
In combination with architectural ropes Webnet is used in a wide variety of ways: railing infill, protective nets, safety nets, barricades, fences, zoo enclosures, aviaries, suicide prevention, façade greening, artwork, ball nets, stair wells, skylight protection, fall-stop nets, bridge protection, machine protection, etc.
