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.

Is the mesh heavy?

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.
