Upgrading Balustrades and Bridges with Wire Rope Mesh
In construction and safety design, there is often a conflict between "code compliance" and "aesthetics." You need a barrier that prevents falls, but you don't want to block the view or ruin the architectural lines with bulky railings. Stainless Steel Wire Rope Mesh bridges this gap effectively. It provides robust fall protection while maintaining a lightweight, transparent appearance. Grade 316: Built for the Elements For outdoor applications like suspension bridges, seaside boardwalks, or rooftop terraces, material choice is critical. Standard steel rots, and aluminum can oxidize. We recommend using AISI 316 stainless steel for these projects. It contains molybdenum, which drastically increases corrosion resistance against chlorides (sea salt) and industrial pollution. It stays strong and shiny, even in harsh weather. Applications Beyond the Balustrade While it is excellent for stair railings, the utility of wire rope mesh goes further: Bridge Protection: It...
