Every aspect of the eyetech system is just as important, if not more so, as one another. A beautifully crafted eyetech panel is nothing without the highly engineered fixings and support system that works seamlessly with one another. A fully integrated and harmonious solution for your building facade. The thickness or gauge of this aluminium which we procure on a project specific basis, normally in coil form, varies. Typically, 4mm or 5mm and sometimes 6mm. Individual mesh panels commonly are required to span floor to floor in widths up to 1.5 metres and this thickness of material is needed to accommodate wind load and limit deflection.
Safety of these expanded mesh facades, which the public often have immediate access to, is high on our agenda. Adequate free air flow in multi storey car parks is an obvious performance requirement but as important and less highlighted is how particularly children may interact with the facades. Keeping the material thickness beyond 4mm helps to avoid blade type strand edges.
