Custom stainless steel screen

Black Framed Reeded Glass Stainless Steel Screen

Black stainless steel frames organise textured glass or separately specified metal mesh for lounge dividers and filtered-view interior transitions.
Product Features

Black framed reeded-glass metal screens create translucent interior partitions for lounges, bathroom approaches and spaces needing filtered views. Specify the glass modules, edge isolation and frame support to suit the selected opening. Detailing should coordinate glass module sizes, frame tolerances, edge support, replaceable assembly and isolation between the metal frame and glazing components. Send drawings, quantities and finish references to develop a project-specific proposal with Xinmao Metal.

Infill options for this screen include glass and decorative metal mesh, as specified for the project. Reeded glass and a separate metal mesh panel are different options and should not be described as the same material. If wire-mesh glass is selected, the metal mesh layer is enclosed within the glass. Glass support and edge isolation should be detailed for glass infill, while retention and any tensioning requirement are reviewed separately for an exposed mesh option.

Application Scenarios

Space Zoning & Partitioning :
Flexibly divide open-plan living rooms, studio apartments, or shared offices into distinct functional zones (e.g., separating a dining area from the lounge, or a workspace from the bedroom) without structural changes.

Privacy Creation :
Instantly create private nooks for changing areas, home offices, reading corners, or dressing rooms in residential or hospitality settings.

Decorative Focal Point & Backdrop :
Act as stylish art pieces, headboards behind beds, or aesthetic backdrops for video calls, photography, and live streaming.

Light & Flow Control :
Gently diffuse direct sunlight, block unwanted light, or redirect air currents to create a more comfortable micro-climate.

Concealment :
Elegantly hide clutter, storage units, utility areas, or architectural imperfections from view.

Installation Precautions
  • Verify whether the approved infill is reeded glass, other specified glazing, exposed mesh or wire-mesh glass before arranging handling and installation.
  • For glazing, check edge support, isolation and clearances against the selected pane specification; for mesh, follow the separate restraint or tensioning detail.
  • Protect the black frame and vulnerable infill edges during positioning, and confirm the agreed module alignment before retaining the infill.
  • Retain access to removable components and inspect the selected texture from the intended viewing positions; do not treat the divider as a certified guard or fire-rated assembly without separate evidence. Further guidance: Screen system fixing and installation guidance

Typical height: 800–3000 mm. Typical single-panel width: 300–1200 mm. Overall depth: 15–80 mm.

Final dimensions follow the elevation, transport route, site access and installation condition.

Architectural screens designed around the space

A decorative screen is more than a pattern applied to metal. It has to manage sight lines, light, circulation and scale while fitting the surrounding architecture. Xinmao develops every stainless steel screen as an integral component of the architectural intent—seamlessly balancing visual design with fabrication and site installation requirements.

Black Framed Reeded Glass Stainless Steel Screen

A Plain Black Frame Defines The Textured Infill

The restrained dark surround gives the textured surface a clear outline and keeps the frame visually distinct from the infill. This works as a quieter divider option where an elaborate cutout motif would compete with the surrounding interior. Agree the actual texture with the selected component sample.

Reeded Glass And Mesh Are Separate Choices

Reeded glass offers a textured glazing option, while exposed decorative metal mesh is a different infill with its own openings and edge restraint. Select the assembly that suits the room rather than treating a similar fine texture as proof that the two materials are interchangeable.

Wire-Mesh Glass Has A Different Internal Arrangement

If wire-mesh glass is specified, its metal mesh layer is enclosed within the glass. That is distinct from a separate mesh panel beside or behind glazing. Identify the selected construction and any required glass safety properties on the project documents before agreeing the supports and retainers.

Filtered Views Need A Real-World Sample Check

For lounges or bathroom approaches, assess the chosen glass or mesh from the actual viewing positions and with light on both sides. A textured surface may alter the view without making it fully private. Agree the desired visual effect using the selected infill rather than a general material label.

Edge Support Follows The Selected Infill Type

Glass requires an agreed pane layout, edge support and isolation from unintended metal contact. An exposed mesh option needs separately resolved retention and any specified tensioning. Frame tolerances and clearances should accommodate the selected construction without forcing either infill into an unsuitable opening.

Replacement Access Supports A Usable Interior Detail

Confirm which retainers or frame sections can be removed to replace the chosen infill and how that work can be reached after fit-out. Include cleaning access at the perimeter. Where the location is exposed to moisture or frequent cleaning, review those conditions with the specified metal and finish before approval.

Details that hold the screen together

A screen is most convincing when pattern, panel construction, finish and interfaces are resolved as one composition.

Dark Framing Gives The Fine Texture A Boundary

The plain surround contrasts with the more detailed infill, keeping the overall panel visually controlled.

Glass And Mesh Offer Distinct Surface Effects

The separate options allow selection around the desired light and view-through effect rather than only around a matching frame colour.

Clear Material Definitions Prevent Ambiguous Specifications

Distinguishing reeded glass, exposed mesh and wire-mesh glass keeps the selected assembly understandable to designers and contractors.

Accessible Retainers Can Support Future Infill Replacement

A planned removal route helps integrate maintenance into the screen detail before the surrounding finishes are complete.

Architectural Challenges & Solutions

Challenge

Privacy is needed, but the room must remain open

Xinmao response

Pattern density is calibrated to balance line-of-sight privacy with ambient light and spatial flow.

Challenge

The selected motif does not fit the final elevation

Xinmao response

Motifs are scaled and proportioned across the full elevation, ensuring seamless pattern continuation without awkward crops.

Challenge

Large panels are difficult to transport and install

Xinmao response

Elevations are modularized into manageable sections, aligning panel joints seamlessly with the architectural grid.

Challenge

Metal finishes look inconsistent across the interior

Xinmao response

Finish tones and grain directions are cross-matched with adjacent metalwork, timber, or stone before production.

Challenge

Installation details are left unresolved until site work begins

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for architects, contractors and project teams reviewing a custom screen package.

Custom architectural stainless steel screen detail
01Is your metal screen a traditional mashrabiya?

Our products are custom metal screens that can use mashrabiya-inspired geometric patterns. Traditional mashrabiya is a specific architectural element with cultural and environmental functions. We describe modern metal interpretations by their material, pattern and project use rather than treating them as identical to historic woodwork.

02Can a mashrabiya-inspired screen improve shade and privacy?

It can provide visual screening and reduce direct sun in the right arrangement. The effect depends on orientation, pattern depth, open area, viewing angles and the building behind it. Any required daylight, solar or privacy performance should be tested or calculated for the project before it is specified.

03Can the pattern look different by day and at night?

Yes. Sun direction and interior or exterior lighting change the visible pattern, shadows and sightlines. If night-time privacy matters, review the screen with the intended lighting on both sides; daytime appearance alone is not enough to approve it.

04Can a perforated decorative screen act as a waterproof facade?

No. An open metal screen is a decorative or shading layer; the wall or facade behind it must provide the required weather protection. The project team should coordinate drainage, exposed materials, brackets and maintenance access with the building envelope design.

05What changes when a screen is used outdoors?

Outdoor use requires a separate review of exposure, material and finish selection, support, fixings, drainage, cleaning access and any project-specific wind or structural requirements. A pattern approved for an interior partition should not automatically be reused outside.

06Can a screen be supplied in one large piece?

Panel size is set by the design, sheet availability, fabrication method, stiffness, finish, packaging, shipping and site access. For larger elevations, coordinated modules often give a more practical installation route while preserving the pattern across joints.

07Can you provide drawings and samples before production?

Xinmao's published process includes project drawings, finish review and samples or mock-ups. Agree the required drawing set, sample size, approval sequence and installation interfaces in the project scope before fabrication begins.

08Where are architectural metal screens commonly used?

Typical uses include lobby features, partitions, privacy screens, restaurant and retail zoning, lift surrounds and decorative enclosures. The final screen design should respond to the circulation, sight lines and maintenance access of the space.

09Can the pattern be customised for a specific project?

Yes. A client motif, geometric reference or privacy requirement can be used as the starting point. Pattern scale and open area are then reviewed against panel size, borders, viewing distance and fabrication constraints.

10What information do you need for an initial quotation?

Please provide overall dimensions, quantity, project location, intended application, preferred finish, pattern reference and any available drawings. Provisional information should be marked so it can be reviewed separately.

11How is the material selected for a screen project?

Material selection depends on the project specification, location, required appearance, panel format and fabrication method. Xinmao primarily develops stainless steel screen packages, while final material and thickness follow approved project requirements.

12Can the screen finish match other metalwork in the project?

Finish references, approved samples and adjacent metalwork can be reviewed together. Where appearance is critical, colour, texture and grain direction should be confirmed with physical samples before production.

13Can the screen be used for both interior and exterior applications?

Both applications can be considered, but they should not use the same specification by default. Material, finish, backing structure, drainage, fixings and local exposure conditions must be reviewed for the actual project location.

14What installation information can be provided?

The installation approach depends on the project scope and surrounding construction. Wall, floor and ceiling conditions should be shared so frames, brackets, access and fixing interfaces can be discussed during detailing.

15What maintenance is normally required?

Maintenance depends on the selected material, finish, location and level of contact. Accessible joints and suitable panel divisions make cleaning easier. Final cleaning products and methods should follow the approved finish sample and project guidance.
