SS Wire Mesh & Jali: Applications in Modern Facades

A functional building-envelope element that also happens to look striking.

Two related but different products

Woven wire mesh is a flexible, textile-like screen material; laser-cut jali (see our dedicated guide) is a rigid patterned sheet panel. Both serve similar facade functions but with different visual character and installation methods.

What they do functionally

  • Solar shading — reducing direct heat gain through glazed facades
  • Privacy screening while maintaining airflow and some light
  • Visual softening of large blank facade surfaces

Why stainless steel specifically

Unlike painted MS mesh, stainless steel mesh/jali holds its finish through years of weather exposure without repainting — important for facade elements that are expensive and disruptive to access for maintenance once installed.

Getting it made

We fabricate custom jali panels in-house; wire mesh sourcing is handled through our trading network. Share your facade dimensions and design intent for a quote.
