Features & Benefits

RE/8™ Bio-Circular Architectural Mesh by Kaynemaile® is designed to create, divide, and protect both interior and exterior spaces. It delivers exceptional performance while offering aesthetic appeal both up close and at a large scale.

Environmentally Responsible Production

RE/8™ Architectural Mesh is produced using Makrolon® RE polycarbonate.

Makrolon RE is produced using the same existing chemical infrastructure as traditional fossil-fuel-based polycarbonates, but sources bio-based raw materials (commonly referred to as ‘feedstocks’) from an existing commercial bio-waste supply chain.

This production process means that there is a reduction in the base materials’ carbon footprint of up to 80%. It also still offers the same quality both chemically and mechanically as traditional fossil fuel-derived polycarbonates.

Durability

No rust, no corrosion – lightweight yet incredibly strong.

RE/8™ Architectural Mesh is exceptionally robust, impact-resistant, and lightweight at just 3kg per square metre. Crafted from engineering-grade polycarbonate with colour integrated throughout the material, it resists movement fatigue and is highly scratch-resistant.

This makes it the ideal solution for coastal environments, delivering superior durability without the risk of rust or corrosion.

Exterior & Solar Protection

3-dimensional design assists in maximising protection.

RE/8 Architectural Mesh façade system has been shown to deflect up to 70% of visible and infrared light waves, which are linked to overheating. RE/8 Architectural Mesh is made from a high-grade polycarbonate, compared to steel panel products, the mesh does not retain and store heat.

With its 3-dimensional mesh structure, a high proportion of the mesh surface area is always in shade, which helps to control temperatures. In addition, as air passes through the cross-sectional open area, it provides a cooling effect. The 3-dimensional structure of the mesh also assists with airflow properties, achieving up to 70% for even greater cooling benefits.

No Size Limitations

Join free, interlocking rings, creating a modern chainmail fabric without size limitations.

Not limited by panel size, screens are manufactured to any height or width without joins. This gives complete freedom at the design concept stage that other materials don’t. Making the screens to the required size means less structure requirements, fewer fixings, and less time on site.

Visual Transparency & Privacy Screening

RE/8 Architectural Mesh offers a 25% visual open area, making it an excellent solution for privacy screening. From the inside looking out, the mesh provides consistent, unobstructed views enhanced by its three-dimensional structure.

From the outside looking in, the mesh provides privacy solutions. To maximise privacy, the design works best when a darker wall is positioned behind the screen, and light pollution from the top and sides is minimised.

Easy to Install

With its lightweight nature, this mesh goes up fast.

Requiring simple fixing systems for installation, RE/8 Architectural Mesh does not need the same level of subframe as metal products do. This means the installed rate is more cost-effective than metal or glass panel products. Attachment methods for both exterior and interior systems are based around two systems that utilise tubes and hooks or extruded aluminium fixings.
