S-50 Woven Wire Mesh – Antique Brass

S-50 DECORATIVE WOVEN WIRE MESH

The S‑50 woven wire mesh panel is a versatile architectural metal mesh designed for interior applications where balanced openness and clean geometry are essential. Featuring a flat-wire square weave pattern and a 44.4% open area, this panel delivers a controlled combination of airflow, durability, and visual clarity.

Finished in plated Antique Brass, S‑50 introduces a classic, refined metallic tone that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its simple, structured pattern allows it to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of materials and design styles.

What Makes S‑50 Different

S‑50 stands out through its flat-wire construction with a plain crimp weave, creating a clean, uniform surface with minimal visual noise. This results in a crisp square grid that emphasizes simplicity and consistency rather than heavy texture or complex patterning.

With a 44.4% open area, S‑50 sits in the middle of the openness spectrum.
This makes it:

• More open than dense patterns like S‑32
• More structured and controlled than highly open meshes like L‑441 or SJD‑14

The result is a mesh that provides balanced visibility, airflow, and architectural definition.

Best Uses for This Wire Mesh Panel

S‑50 is frequently used in commercial, hospitality, and residential interiors where designers need a balanced mesh that provides structure without overwhelming the space. Its clean square pattern and moderate openness make it particularly well suited for cabinetry, partitions, and architectural features that benefit from subtle definition and consistency.

This architectural wire mesh is commonly specified for:

• Cabinet inserts and custom millwork
• Interior partitions and space dividers
• Railing infill systems
• Decorative wall panels and cladding
• Ceiling features and screening elements
• Furniture accents and integrated design details

Its clean square pattern makes it especially effective in projects where alignment, symmetry, and simplicity are key design priorities.

Note: This product as constructed is suitable for interior use only.

What happens during the plating process?

The antique finishes undergo an abrasion process by hand to relieve the brighter alloy underneath the darker oxidized layer. The contrast between dark and bright alloy is unique to that of the various woven wire mesh patterns.

The photo above demonstrates how the different textures of the mesh patterns affect the same color finish. It should be noted that with any metal finish that is done by hand, a degree of variability will be inherent in the outcome. Samples of the finish will generally provide a good representation of color and detail however the brightness and darkness of the antique process may be different from job to job. This variability should be factored into the final design decision.

Comparing S‑50 to Other Mesh Patterns

Understanding where S‑50 fits in your lineup helps guide specification:

• Compared to S‑32: S‑50 is more open, offering greater visibility and airflow
• Compared to M22‑28: S‑50 has a simpler, cleaner pattern with less decorative texture
• Compared to L‑441: S‑50 is more controlled and uniform, with less layered depth
• Compared to SJD‑14: S‑50 provides more structure and density, with less openness

This positions S‑50 as a mid‑openness, clean-pattern mesh solution for versatile architectural applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a plated finish suitable for exterior use?
No. This mesh panel is designed for interior applications. While the S-32 wire mesh can be used for exterior uses if made of a different raw material, this plated finish is rated for indoor use.

What makes the S‑50 pattern unique?
S‑50 uses a flat-wire square weave with a plain crimp structure, creating a clean, uniform pattern that emphasizes simplicity and consistency.

How open is this wire mesh?
With a 44.4% open area, S‑50 provides a balanced level of visibility and airflow, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Can this mesh panel be cut or fabricated?
Yes. S‑50 can be integrated into custom fabrication projects, including cabinetry, partitions, and architectural installations.

What applications is this mesh best suited for?
S‑50 is ideal for cabinets, partitions, wall panels, and feature elements where a clean, structured mesh pattern is preferred.
