Our flexi-mesh range is the leading material used to create lightweight structures including balustrades, fall protection screens, greenwalls and facades. Manufactured from high quality Korean-made hamma® G316 stainless steel wire, flexi-mesh has a high tensile strength and relatively low weight. It’s unique tensile properties and ability to span long distances minimises the requirements for supporting cables and attachments, reducing overall project costs.
