Brief Description: Manufactured for architecture. Used in interior and exterior conditions. Varies in transparency and flexibility. It comes in sheet, wire, or rod. Very sustainable. Made of stainless steel. Use soap and water for easy clean and maybe pressure washer sometimes. Very low maintenance. Fire, heat, and impact resistant.

Seems like a great product to use on large open wall space as a nice texture. Also good for exterior textures on buildings. Reflectance of light would add a lot to just a plain metal color. Could the look of metal overpower the room, though?


Sustainability: Stainless steel is a very sustainable material. It's cheaper and less labor to remelt what has already been made than to create new stainless steel.
