New Cambridge Architectural Mesh Pattern Provides Fall Protection for Stairways, Terraces and Construction Projects Requiring Restraints
Cambridge, Maryland (PRWEB) February 26, 2015 -- Cambridge Architectural's Brick rigid metal fabric is a popular choice among architects and contractors seeking an aesthetically pleasing solution for restraint and fall protection. The metal mesh, which replicates the rectangular pattern of a brick wall, was mounted in January at a Frederick, Maryland Hampton Inn to encase a stairway fire escape as part of the hotel’s renovation. At 2030 8th Street at Atlantic Plumbing, a luxury Washington, D.C. condominium under construction, Brick mesh is being installed as a railing in-fill for an elaborate rooftop terrace.
Brick and other Cambridge Architectural metal mesh patterns suitable for restraint never shatter and are capable of supporting a person’s full weight while adding texture and interest to any project.
Available in T304 or T316 stainless, Brick features a 50 percent open weave that provides transparency and is ideal for both exterior and interior applications. It is offered in a maximum length of 120 inches at 2.3 lbs. per square foot. Like all Cambridge metal fabric patterns, it is readily recyclable and manufactured from recycled materials. It also boasts a virtually maintenance-free and indestructible lifecycle.
