FAQ
Practical answers before choosing architectural metal mesh.
Use this page when you are comparing products, preparing a sample request, checking customization feasibility, or trying to understand what information SGORIA needs before quotation.
Selection
Choosing the right mesh
For choosing the first SGORIA product family from a known application.
01 I only know the application. Can SGORIA suggest the right mesh type?
Yes. Send the application, viewing distance, indoor or outdoor condition, reference image and any size limits. SGORIA can compare woven wire mesh, cable rod mesh, chain curtain, coil drapery, perforated metal, expanded metal, laminated glass mesh or aluminum foam panel around the project need.
02 What information helps SGORIA make a better product recommendation?
The most useful details are application, approximate area, panel or opening size, target transparency, preferred material tone, indoor or outdoor exposure, installation condition and reference images. Drawings are helpful, but an early concept is already enough for a first recommendation.
03 Which mesh is better for facades and building envelopes?
Facade projects usually start from openness, wind and weather exposure, panel module, daylight control and fixing method. Woven wire mesh, cable rod mesh, expanded metal and perforated metal are common options, but the final choice depends on the visual effect and technical condition.
04 Which products work better for interior partitions or decorative walls?
Interior projects often focus on close-range texture, reflection, color and human-scale detail. Woven wire mesh, metal coil drapery, chain curtain, metal ring mesh and laminated glass metal mesh can all work, depending on whether the surface should feel rigid, flexible, transparent or layered.
05 How do I compare transparency, privacy and visual density?
Start with the viewing distance and the role of the surface. A facade screen may need airflow and daylight, while a partition may need partial privacy. SGORIA can suggest mesh openness, wire thickness, pattern density and finish choices so the sample can be reviewed under real light.
Samples
Samples and finishes
For checking texture, material tone and finish before sample approval.
01 Can I request samples before placing an order?
Yes. Samples are recommended before confirming a mesh choice, especially when texture, openness, color, reflection or finish consistency matters. Send the project application and target visual effect so SGORIA can suggest focused sample options.
02 Can SGORIA match a color or finish from a reference image?
SGORIA can use reference images to understand the desired tone, but final color should be confirmed by physical sample. Metal finish is affected by base material, coating method, lighting and viewing angle, so sample approval is the most reliable step.
03 What materials can be considered for architectural metal mesh?
Common options include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass and coated metal surfaces. The suitable material depends on application, exposure, budget, weight, corrosion resistance, finish target and maintenance expectation.
04 Is stainless steel always the best choice?
Not always. Stainless steel is strong for many architectural conditions, but aluminum may be preferred for weight and finish flexibility, while copper or brass may be chosen for a warmer material language. SGORIA recommends material options by project use rather than by one default answer.
05 Why does the same mesh look different in different spaces?
Metal mesh changes with light, background color, viewing distance and angle. A sample should be reviewed near the real installation condition when possible, because transparency, reflection and color depth can shift significantly between a studio table and a building surface.
Custom
Custom solutions
For adjusted patterns, panel sizes, colors, branding or drawing support.
01 Can SGORIA customize mesh size, opening, wire shape or pattern?
Many product families allow some level of adjustment, such as panel size, wire profile, opening, density, color, hanging method or pattern layout. The available customization depends on the selected mesh family and production feasibility.
02 Can you develop a custom chain curtain graphic or logo pattern?
Yes, chain curtain can support graphic layouts and color arrangements when the artwork, logo file or reference concept is clear enough. SGORIA can translate the visual idea into a buildable chain layout for review.
03 What file format should I send for drawings or custom patterns?
DWG, PDF, AI, high-resolution image files or clear sketches can all help at different stages. For early discussion, a reference image and basic dimensions may be enough. For production discussion, drawings and confirmed dimensions are more important.
04 Can SGORIA help if I do not have final drawings yet?
Yes. Early-stage projects can start with application, reference images and approximate dimensions. SGORIA can suggest product families and sample options first, then refine the technical discussion when drawings become available.
05 Can SGORIA support OEM or ODM cooperation?
Yes. OEM or ODM discussions may include private product development, sample coordination, finish targets, packaging, documentation and project supply. The cooperation scope should be confirmed around product type, quantity, market requirement and delivery expectation.
Fixing
Fixing and installation
For making a selected mesh surface buildable on the real site.
01 Does SGORIA provide installation drawings?
SGORIA can discuss fixing methods, edge logic, frames, tension systems, hanging tracks and drawing coordination, but final project installation drawings usually need to be aligned with the local designer, contractor or facade consultant.
02 When should fixing method be discussed?
Fixing should be discussed before final sample or quotation when possible. Panel size, edge treatment, tension layout, track system and site tolerance can affect both the mesh selection and the production details.
03 Are flexible metal curtains installed the same way as rigid mesh panels?
No. Chain curtain, metal coil drapery and ring mesh usually involve hanging, tracks, fullness, edge weight and movement. Rigid mesh panels usually involve frames, edge treatment, clamps, tension or panel modules.
04 Can metal mesh be used for curved or irregular surfaces?
Some mesh families are more suitable for curved or flexible applications than others. Flexible curtains, coil drapery and certain woven structures may support curved effects, while sheet products require more careful panel planning.
05 What should be checked before installation on site?
Check approved sample, product choice, panel size, labels, quantity, edge details, fixing accessories, site dimensions and handling method. For visible architectural surfaces, installation sequence and protection can affect the final appearance.
Delivery
Quality and delivery
For checking quality control, packing, lead time and long-term appearance.
01 How does SGORIA control quality before delivery?
Quality work starts from requirement review and sample approval. SGORIA checks material, surface finish, visible consistency, dimensions, quantity, packing and delivery notes according to the confirmed order condition.
02 Is SGORIA ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. SGORIA currently presents ISO 9001 certification as the main quality management signal. For project communication, certificate information should be reviewed together with samples, drawings and inspection details.
03 How is architectural metal mesh packed for delivery?
Packing depends on product family, size, finish sensitivity and shipping condition. The goal is to protect visible surfaces, organize labels and reduce confusion when the mesh reaches the project site.
04 How should metal mesh be cleaned or maintained?
Maintenance depends on material, finish, exposure and local environment. Use suitable cleaning methods, avoid harsh chemicals unless approved, and confirm care expectations for coated, anodized, stainless steel, copper or brass surfaces.
05 How can I reduce risk before confirming a large order?
Confirm the application, sample, finish, dimensions, fixing method, packing expectation and delivery notes as early as possible. For custom or high-visibility projects, a small sample or mock-up discussion can reduce uncertainty before production.
