KRAFT Mesh Panels: Modern Design and High Functionality in One

KRAFT Mesh Panels: Modern Design and High Functionality in One
Expired

Today, expanded metal mesh panels are being used in a wide range of applications—from offices and shopping malls to private homes and public spaces. This material is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for virtually any design style or concept. That’s why in 2025, KRAFT Deckensysteme introduced a new product to its range: KRAFT Mesh panels.

How mesh became a design trend

Expanded metal mesh is more than just a construction material. It was originally used solely for industrial and utilitarian purposes—strong, lightweight, and easy to install. But over time, designers began to see more in it: the interplay of light and shadow, a sense of airiness, and a sleek industrial aesthetic. This shifted mesh into the category of stylish and sought-after materials in modern interior design and architecture.

Why are mesh panels so cool?

Strength meets lightness – the perfect balance
Metal mesh panels are incredibly durable while being significantly lighter than traditional materials. This makes installation easier, reduces the load on structural elements, and makes them ideal for ceilings, facades, and partitions.
Airy Look and Light Transparency
The open structure creates a sense of lightness and allows natural or artificial light to pass through, forming unique visual effects. The space doesn’t feel cluttered, yet maintains its full functionality.
Natural ventilation and acoustic performance
Mesh panels allow for free air circulation, making them a great choice for ceiling systems and facade structures. When paired with the special SOUNDTEX® acoustic fabric, they also improve room acoustics by reducing noise levels
Eco-friendly and long-lasting

Made from recyclable metals, the panels are designed to last for decades without losing their properties. They are resistant to moisture, corrosion, and temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Where can you use mesh panels? Pretty much anywhere!

Ceilings – light and stylish

Mesh ceiling panels bring a contemporary, industrial feel while providing ventilation and compatibility with building systems. They’re ideal for offices, shopping centers, restaurants, transport hubs, and even stylish residential interiors.

Facades – protection with personality
Expanded metal mesh facade panels offer multiple functions: protection from external elements, solar shading, and a sleek, modern appearance. They create impressive lighting effects and look stunning at any time of day.
Railings and barriers – safety without heaviness
Mesh barriers offer a lightweight and airy look while providing strong protection. Commonly used in residential complexes, offices, shopping malls, and public buildings, they bring modern style to safety solutions.
Partitions – stylish space division
Mesh partitions are a great way to divide a space without creating visual boundaries. Suitable for offices, cafes, restaurants, and even homes, they add flair and dynamism to any interior.

Design freedom: create, combine, experiment!

Mesh panels offer limitless opportunities for creative expression. They come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, making it easy to integrate them into any design.
KRAFT Deckensysteme offers panels with different mesh opening sizes—from dense to more open structures—allowing for varied levels of transparency. Multiple mounting systems are available to fit different project needs.

Panels can be powder-coated in any RAL color, making them perfect for custom solutions. Choosing the right shade helps seamlessly integrate panels into any interior or exterior, emphasize a brand’s identity, or create an eye-catching design accent.

You can combine mesh panels with wood, glass, or concrete—each combination offering a unique visual result. They’re also great for non-standard applications like suspended elements, decorative partitions, or even lighting installations. Thanks to their strength and durability, these designs stay beautiful for years.
