Vue 53 Chicago

Chicago, Illinois

The Vue 53 apartment complex in Chicago needed a distinctive design touch for the entrance facade that doubled as a sun shading solution for the lobby space. Calling on Cascade Architectural, architects at Valerio Dewalt Train Associates specified stainless steel Fabricoil® secured in a Skyline attachment system. Fabricoil® was the ideal product to provide a clean, steel exterior while meeting the functional solar shading demands of the project.

Fabricoil® coiled wire fabric systems: The world's premier, architectural-grade woven wire mesh—engineered and manufactured to specification exclusively by Cascade Architectural.

Cascade has proudly operated as the world's leading manufacturer of coiled wire fabric systems for interior, exterior, security, and blast protection applications since 1987. Engineered and sustainably manufactured to specification from our headquarters in the Pacific Northwest, Cascade's innovative American-made Fabricoil® woven wire mesh systems deliver unparalleled design flexibility through a comprehensive selection of materials, gauges, weave sizes, finishes, fullness options, and meticulously engineered attachment systems—inspiring architects and designers for nearly 40 years when designing many of the world's most iconic structures and interiors.

From custom building façades, exterior screens, and daylighting control systems to timelessly modern interiors, security gates, and more, there's virtually no limit to what can be achieved with Fabricoil® coiled wire fabric systems. This incredibly versatile material can be seamlessly spliced together on-site to span extreme distances with a single sheet of material, shape-cut to meet unique design requirements, and mounted in either coil direction to achieve different results, offering design possibilities that most rigid and flexible screening alternatives cannot achieve. From matte to highly reflective, flat to satin to metallic, Fabricoil coiled wire fabric is available in near limitless finish and color options through our super-durable, in-house powder-coating process—the most sustainable finish coating process available in today's market. In fact, our coiled wire fabric and standard coatings also meet stringent Living Building Challenge "Red List Free" requirements (which many similar looking or industrial-grade materials do not), making Fabricoil® an ideal contributor toward meeting the sustainability requirements and green building criteria sought by most building projects today.
