One material. Proven across safety, enclosure and architectural design applications. AISI 316 stainless steel, made with hamma® wire rope.
Zoo architecture is a specialist field. The materials need to be safe, strong, transparent and long lasting — while creating a habitat that works for both the animals and the visitors observing them.
Flexi-Mesh has been supplied to Taronga Zoo Sydney, Melbourne Zoo and Perth Zoo. The woven mesh system is the preferred choice for zoological enclosures where high breaking strains are critical and a less visually intrusive finish is required.
Flexi-Mesh integrates seamlessly into balustrade designs without compromising on safety. Its unobtrusive appearance allows creative installations across residential, commercial and public projects.
Fully compliant with current Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements. Projects include Newcastle Foreshore NSW, Port Campbell Suspension Bridge VIC, Hampton VIC and Wharf Street Perth WA.
Unlike heavy, obtrusive traditional barriers, Flexi-Mesh offers an architecturally refined fall protection solution. It allows light and airflow to pass through while meeting structural safety requirements.
Projects include safety netting above a glass atrium in a 5-star hotel (94% light transmission), fall protection in multi-storey open deck car parks, and installations at Matagarup Bridge Perth WA.
Flexi-Mesh is popular with landscape architects and building designers for its lightweight structure and ability to support climbing plants across large facade areas or smaller private screens.
After consultation with industry experts, Flexi-Mesh offers apertures specifically suited to green wall applications — wider openings that allow plants sufficient light and air to grow on the structure.
Playground designers continue to push new forms and structures. Flexi-Mesh works with them — flexible enough to be curved, draped or tensioned into irregular shapes, from bird nests to tunnels.
Compliant with the relevant Australian and New Zealand playground standards. Installed at multiple Gold Coast and Queensland playground facilities.
The possibilities with Flexi-Mesh are not limited to standard safety or enclosure applications. Its flexibility, transparency and tensile properties make it an innovative material for architectural art installations, suspension structures and custom creative projects.
A recent example includes the "Catching Your Breath" glass bubble installation in Tasmania — a project where the Flexi-Mesh team worked with artists from concept through to installation.
