The recently launched stainless steel facades from GKD are as functional for sunshading as they are striking. In the summer months especially, GKD Metal Fabric offers relief from harsh direct sunlight and solar heating. The transparent stainless steel fabrics make a modern statement for any project, while providing natural ventilation and comfort.
The use of woven stainless steel helps to reduce the need for interior climate control, while also eliminating the need for artificial light during the day. GKD metal mesh panels envelope building facades made of glass, metal and other cladding materials to provide protection from direct sunlight and solar heat.
GKD offers sustainable woven fabrics with varying open area weaves that range from 0% to 71%. GKD Metal Fabrics are specified to allow enough natural sunlight to shine through that building occupants are receiving benefits from natural daylight without the discomfort from direct sun. Woven mesh material meets both lighting and sustainable goals for all sorts of cultural, educational, commercial and residential projects.
Stainless steel woven fabric can withstand wind speeds up to 146mph. It is for the energy efficiency and sustainable qualities of the material that metal fabrics often win LEED and LEED Platinum recognition in the architectural market.
