The new building extension of Technolit GmbH, the welding and workshop expert in the hessian Town Großenlüder, received a façade cladding with HAVER Architectural Mesh to visual enhance the optical appearance of the external staircase.
Due to the fact, that the staircase should be used as a recreation area for the staff as well, the architects Staubach + Partner searched for a façade cladding that is on the one hand visually appealing and on the other hand ensures optimum air circulation.
The architects decided on a semitransparent wire mesh by HAVER & BOECKER. The chosen HAVER Architectural Mesh EGLA-TWIN 4253 with its smooth surface on one side reflects light homogenously. To enhance the public image of the company, the wire mesh cladding received a painted logo and an illumination. 11 LED-Liners are positioned at the base of the mesh cladding to illuminate the mesh façade. Only one LED-Liner is necessary to illuminate the total height (7m) of the façade.
The Illuminated Mesh Facade Illuminated Architectural Mesh provides a beautiful transparent stainless steel façade by day and a vibrant veil of colour by night. During the day the reflective properties of architectural mesh are especially appealing. At night the illuminated wire mesh transforms as the colorful LED’s bring the facade to life. In darkness a seemingly static mesh facade is transformed into a dynamic wall of light, which appears to move harmoniously with the position and movement of the viewer. The presentation of vibrant color and lighting displays can be programmed individually. Virtually any colour can be created offering complete artistic freedom, whether it’s completely submerging the façade in one single color or illuminating with individual lighting effects. HAVER & BOECKER supplied 276 m² ready to install mesh elements with painting and arranged the wire mesh assembly with the commissioning as well as the programming of the wire mesh illumination.
