Track – Our expertise in suspension, track and glider design turns the architect's vision into an achievable project.

Coil mesh curtains can be mounted in static, hand-drawn or motorised configurations. Our installation experts can advise on track options, taking into account your preferences and performance criteria but also the strength of your anchoring substrate.

Design – Mesh screens can be straight or curved. If the designer wants a curved track, this requires a minimum radius of 300mm. We can install the curtain track direct to the ceiling or suspended so there is a gap above it. Clearly, if your space features exposed services, some form of suspension will be needed. 

Operational or static – Not all screens move! Mesh curtains can be installed as static panels. They can also be operated manually or through a motorised system. The high-tech glide rollers mean that mesh curtains are easy to move by hand. 

Substrate – Coil mesh, even the aluminium variety, is heavier than fabric. So coil mesh needs a good substrate into which we can anchor the track or the suspension rods. 

If you opt for a moveable curtain, you may need to strengthen the fixings at the end to which the screen is drawn back. When all the weight is focused on one point on the track, that needs to be reinforced. 

Stack location – When pulled back, the stack depth (how much space the open curtain occupies) depends on its fullness. Coil mesh curtains typically take up more space than fabric ones.

An open decorative screen with up to 50% fullness stacks to 220mm per metre of curtain. At 100% fullness, this rises to 330mm per metre – so the opening is no more than 2/3 of the curtain length. Mesh curtains cannot be tied back. 

Decorative colours and finishes

Coil mesh is typically made from aluminium which can be finished in a wide range of metallic tints; bronze, brass, pewter, gunmetal and gold to name a few.

Custom colours are also in high demand, as the base metal can also be powder-coated to match the customer’s interior design scheme.

Most designers choose a single colour throughout the panel, but you can also have stripes and colour variations too.
