The flats of the crimped wire give this architectural wire mesh a reflective surface.

This stunning fire place and entertainment center in a private, mountain retreat in Idaho, draws on the modern feel of the S-16 woven wire mesh pattern to add a special flare. The homeowners, Rob and Bonnie Chambers, designed the system to hide their freestanding fireplace addition. They wanted a rustic, yet contemporary look, and because of other copper accents in their home they decided to use S-16 in copper. The reflective qualities of S-16 causes light to sparkle off of the flats of the crushed wire, giving the mesh an almost luminescent quality against the black painted wood. These pieces of wire mesh also give a sense of flow to the room and lead the viewer’s eyes along the unique fireplace and entertainment system.

The copper wire mesh thus has an intrinsic place in most elements of the interior, which blends functionality with aesthetics. It reflects in the room dividers, which ensure privacy without one feeling penned. The warm rich tones of the mesh are much in sync with the wood beams and stone accents, making a very cohesive and visually stimulating setting. Reflecting elements of ambient light, it offers a subtle shine to space.

“We researched all the architectural wire we could find on the market and no one was comparable to the quality and craftsmanship of Banker Wire. The different options of wire and sizing is amazing. Great product for the price. We are a thousand percent happy with this wire. It's beautiful and was the perfect touch to our remodel! ” --Rob & Bonnie Chambers, Homeowners

The copper wire mesh is used inside the kitchen for cabinetry and shelving in decorations. This doesn't only bring elegance but also serves the importance of airflow and visibility of stored goods. The intricate mesh design looks great against the sleek modern appliances and countertops, toning the space down for a mix of old and new. The copper used all around the kitchen brings in the design, making this such a feature of a home.
