Is there a standard sheet size?
There are no standard sheet sizes with our mesh. RE/8 architectural mesh is manufactured without joins within the ring itself, and all rings seamlessly interlock. Ultimately, due to this process, we can create any size you require for your application.
Can it be trimmed to size if I don’t have an exact measurement?
Yes, We can supply your screens slightly oversize in height to allow for any ceiling height variations during construction.

Will RE/8 architectural mesh block airflow?
Due to our three-dimensional mesh design, it allows for up to 80% airflow through the cross-sectional open area.
Is the mesh heavy?
RE/8 architectural mesh is quite light at only 3kg per square meter for our mesh.
Will RE/8 Bio-circular Architectural Mesh block my view if using it for exterior screening?
The three-dimensional nature of the mesh gives a consistent open area achieving an unobstructed view.
Will the mesh suffer from corrosion if I am building in a coastal environment?
Kaynemaile Architectural Mesh is an excellent alternative to metal materials as it will not corrode in these harsh environments. In addition, it is very low maintenance and as the colour is all the way throughout, will not require painting or sealing like other products.
How durable is the mesh?
Don’t be fooled by lightweight nature of RE/8 Architectural Mesh, our mesh is extremely robust and impact resistant.
