Cascade Custom Architectural Systems work wonderfully to diffuse both natural and artificial light throughout spaces. For window applications, woven wire mesh breaks up sunlight and diffuses it inward without disrupting views to the exterior. Daylighting is a tremendous method to reduce energy costs for building owners and provide a healthy, productive environment for occupants.
For ornamental interior applications, the material can be installed in front of a light source to delicately diffuse light and color throughout a building’s interior. Brilliant effects can be achieved through varying weave size, percentage of fullness, gauge, color and more.
Coiled wire fabric systems are available in a range of unique attachments, both fixed and track. With customizable hardware, materials, weaves, finishes, and flat or formed designs, our pre-engineered systems can be modified to meet the requirements of your individual project.
To ensure an easy installation and save you time specifying Fabricoil for your project, Cascade Architectural provides a variety of engineered attachment systems to achieve your design goals. All attachment systems are designed to present Fabricoil® in its own unique way and are engineered to meet your application’s performance requirements. Any of the attachments shown can be customized or Cascade can work with you to create new attachments for your specific application. Many attachments are offered in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and are available with optional ceiling, wall, or suspended mounting systems.
Material and gauge impacts weight, functionality, aesthetics, suitability for exterior applications, and more. Wire material and gauge are selected based on the needs of your Fabricoil® application. Your Cascade Architectural representative will assist you in making the best selection for your project.
All Fabricoil® weaves share the same fundamental geometry, created by interlocking individual strands of spiraled wire. What varies widely is Fabricoil’s scale. The weave you select impacts the material’s percentage of open area (from 40% to 85%), textured appearance, thickness (from 3/32” to 5/8”), wire gauge (from 14 to 21), and ultimate strength. Your knowledgeable Cascade Architectural representative is ready to help you select the perfect weave for your application.
Cascade Architectural offers custom coatings and finishes for both Fabricoil® weaves and attachment systems. Fabricoil® weaves are sprayed and protected with durable low-VOC lacquer finishes, designer "metaltone" powder finishes, and acrylic lacquers. All coatings are available in a wide range of custom colors – matched to your paint codes in order to meet your precise application and design requirements.
This effect is called "fullness" and is expressed as a percentage of additional material. Acceptable range for fullness is 15-200%
