KME Architectural Solutions - TECU® Design_flatmesh

Like the TECU®_mesh structures the TECU®_flatmesh designs are also made by perforating the copper and copper alloy strips and then stretching the material.‎ The stretched metal is then rolled to produce the almost flat TECU®_flatmesh surface.‎ The rib mesh variants are available in the surfaces TECU® Classic_flatmesh and TECU® Patina_flatmesh.‎ The even structures of the flat rolled rib mesh of TECU®_flatmesh offer openness and solidity, the mechanical protection of an open metal skin and the porosity of a semi-transparent curtain.‎ On the building the use of TECU®_flatmesh brings a pleasant lightness to the façade with the mesh structure seeming to float in front of the background.‎ When installed in front of glass areas TECU®_flatmesh products offer security in an aesthetic form as well as fascinating impressions from inside and outside.‎ Copper net screens have a cloth-like structure and provide strength and openness in equal measure – the mechanical protection of an open metal screen plus the translucency of a semi-transparent veil.‎ The use of TECU® as a rib mesh gives building façades an appealing lightness, the mesh appearing to float in front of the structure.‎ On glass surfaces the products offer a combination of security and aesthetic value, producing fascinating impressions from inside and out.‎ The various TECU® surfaces in the form of rib meshes create highly individual and characteristic effects of light and space.‎ The mesh structures of the TECU® surfaces are created, after the strips of copper and copper alloys are produced, by means of multicut perforation and subsequent stretching of the material.‎ The metal mesh created in this way is also distended in terms of the thickness of the material by the tractive forces.‎ Subsequent rolling of the stretched metal produces the almost flat rib mesh.‎ In the KME Design Collection, copper in its natural or treated versions passes through the various stages of oxidation, to become an ever-evolving, “living” material.‎ KME Design not only presents the copper surface in all its countless variants, it also enriches the collection with a series of alloys for further applications and innovative aesthetic effects.‎ Diverse textures and finishes complete copper’s sensuous physical impact, giving rise to a wide array of solutions for interiors endowed with a translucent, lively, refined effect.‎ Perforated surfaces, mesh and flatmesh sheets, interlaced coloured copper for delicately crafted fabrics, three-dimensional patterns… And in addition to all this, innovative surface treatments yielding the effect you personally desire: opaque, scratched, brushed, burnished, and even more.‎ With the KME Design Collection, KME copper is the new leading material for interior decoration.‎ The precious and lively palette offered by KME Design is but the first step toward new vistas enabling creative architects and designers to achieve unique interiors… A collection that grows daily, and will unveil new customized surfaces and products to suit all tastes and project requirements.‎ Timeless and perfectly in stride with our times, copper enlivens every home in which it enters, giving it a distinctive and refined touch.‎ Discover KME copper.‎
