SPZ-52 Woven Wire Mesh – Antique Brass

SPZ-52 DECORATIVE WOVEN WIRE MESH

The SPZ‑52 woven wire mesh panel is a refined architectural metal mesh designed for interior applications where controlled openness and patterned structure are essential. Featuring a dense rectangular weave and a 47.2% open area, this panel provides a balanced combination of airflow, durability, and visual depth—making it ideal for both functional and decorative uses.

Finished in plated Antique Brass, SPZ‑52 introduces a rich, aged metallic tone that enhances both contemporary and traditional interiors. Its structured pattern and balanced transparency create a sophisticated surface that performs equally well up close and at scale.

What Makes SPZ‑52 Different

SPZ‑52 stands apart through its rectangular woven geometry, which creates a more directional and structured appearance compared to square mesh patterns. The pattern utilizes crushed warp wires that introduce subtle texture up close while maintaining a more uniform, transparent appearance from a distance.

With a 47.2% open area, SPZ‑52 sits between highly open and tightly closed mesh patterns.
This gives it excellent versatility:

• More visibility and airflow than dense meshes like S‑32
• More control and visual structure than highly open grids like SJD‑14

This balance makes SPZ‑52 particularly effective in applications where both definition and openness are required.

Best Uses for This Wire Mesh Panel

SPZ‑52 is frequently used in hospitality, commercial, and residential environments where designers need a structured mesh that provides both openness and visual definition. Its rectangular geometry and antique brass finish make it especially effective in cabinetry, partitions, and architectural feature systems where alignment and pattern consistency are important design elements.

This architectural wire mesh is commonly specified for:

• Cabinet inserts and decorative millwork
• Interior partitions and screening systems
• Railing infill and safety barriers
• Wall cladding and feature panels
• Ceiling elements and architectural accents
• Custom furniture and fixture integration [bankerwire.com]

Its rectangular pattern adds directionality, making it especially useful in designs that emphasize alignment, rhythm, and linear movement.

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 demonstrate 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.
