Wire mesh

Wire meshes are obtained through the interlacing of not continuous metal wires, previously worked and shaped. They are used in several different areas, similar to metal perforation, and depending on the area in which they are used we can have very different types and characteristics.
Usually the most popular meshes have square, rectangular or rhomboid shapes and are made of iron, galvanized iron or stainless steel.
However, we can find other types of construction materials such as aluminum, copper, brass. Usually these materials, especially brass, are used for particular networking , which will then become part of decorations in public places, hotels, restaurants and offices.
The other materials are used for the construction of wire mesh for agricultural, industrial or sports.
Galvanized iron, steel and titanium nets are of very good quality, since they can rely on a high resistance to atmospheric factors and forces. Often the quality is guaranteed by certifications in production and packaging processes. Whether they are produced in rolls or panels, in order to remain intact until their use, they should have adequate protection in the package.
With regard to the type, the wire meshes are available in these three ways:
- Woven, when the wire is bigger than 1mm
- Wavy, networks obtained with the braiding of individual strands forming each square mesh.
- Welded, networks that have the special characteristic of having constant lights inside the mesh, obtained thanks to the welding.
When ordering wire meshes, it is important that a client indicates the supplier the product specifications, namely:
- The diameter of the wire
- The type and quality of the material
- The length and height of the net
- The space between a node and the other network (distance) or, when very close, the light of the mesh (ie the vacuum inside the mesh) calculated to the nearest millimeter.

Recycled Furniture – The Cool Way to Save the Planet and Furnish Your Home!

Thanks to the eco-friendly green movement and a growing awareness that recycling is something to immerse our selves in as members of a global community, designers have had some great inspiration and a friendly push to create amazing new products from existing materials that have been discarded by their previous owners. This recycled designer furniture has proved that a revolution of aesthetically pleasing recycling is not only beneficial but achievable. Recycling isn't just putting your plastics and glass into the correct containers, it should become a part of every day life. We can live amongst recycled materials more effectively, by supporting this process we get to prevent our our rivers, soil and countryside from being polluted by our landfill rubbish. Every year  in Britain we send 100 million tons (this is not including a million tons of textiles and more than two million tons of metal) into landfill tips. The casual Primark, disposable fashion that has become so apart of our culture is disastrous for our planet.




Seats are being made out of shopping trollies, bath tubs halved in two to create deep and effective sofa's. Another material that is starting to shien much like our old friend bamboo in the 1990's is cardboard. It seems that it can be used as a replacement for many conventional materials too. We don't need to chop down any trees or use any virgin materials to create new durable and visually pleasing furniture. Whole salers like fashion4homes are even cottoning onto the trend with their cardboard sideboard and bookshelf proving that cardboard can be a delightful material to incorporate into your home. It is so interesting to see functional art merge with the recycling community via furniture design to combine with original elements of retired furniture to instill a fresh and appealing look, for a second time round. So next time you are looking at investing in a new piece for your home, why dont you check out the recycable furniture available to yopu in your price range, shabby chic never goes out of fashion.
