Materials & Finishes
Choose metal mesh material and surface finish by real project use.
SGORIA helps project teams compare base material, surface treatment, color direction, exposure, maintenance and sample approval before architectural metal mesh moves into production.
Materials
Start with the base metal before deciding the finish.
Material choice affects weight, corrosion resistance, touch quality, color behaviour, maintenance and the way a mesh surface ages in the building.
Durable architectural metal
Stainless Steel
A corrosion-resistant base for exterior mesh, refined interiors and long-service architectural surfaces.

Lightweight color route
Aluminum
A lightweight route for curtains, perforated panels, expanded metal, foam and color-driven surfaces.

Warm metal character
Brass & Bronze
A warm metal route for interiors, hospitality surfaces and close-range decorative mesh.

Living warm surface
Copper
A living warm metal for protected interiors, glass build-ups and design-led feature surfaces.

Strong economical base
Carbon Steel
A practical base for sheet metal, expanded metal and coated architectural surfaces.

Use surface treatment to control tone, protection and visual reading.
Confirm each finish with a physical sample. Mesh geometry, lighting, base metal and viewing distance all affect the final appearance.

Sample confirmation
Material and finish should be approved together, not separately.
A stainless steel mesh, aluminum curtain or coated sheet can change character under daylight, warm interior light, close viewing distance or high-touch use. SGORIA uses physical samples and project context to reduce uncertainty before production.
Review color, reflection, texture and base material together.
Keep material, finish, packing and care notes aligned with the approved sample.
