Custom stainless steel screen

Black Mixed Infill Stainless Steel Partition Screen

A black asymmetrical stainless steel grid combines translucent and textured infills for contemporary restaurant and lounge partitions.
Product Features

Designed to divide space without a solid wall, this screen uses a black asymmetrical grid combining translucent and textured inset panels. Use it in restaurants, lounges and modern commercial room divisions to define functional zones and introduce a controlled visual rhythm. Detailing should coordinate the supporting frame, replaceable infill modules, edge clearances, fixing points and isolation between adjacent materials. Submit dimensions, quantities and finish references for drawing-based fabrication review by Xinmao Metal.

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
  • Keep the approved infill map with the installer so the translucent and textured inserts remain in their intended positions within the asymmetrical grid.
  • Confirm infill composition and the specified edge separators before fitting; use the agreed clearances rather than forcing tight inserts into the black frame.
  • Leave access to any removable retainers required for future module replacement, and confirm that adjacent joinery will not cover them.
  • Brace and fix through the supporting frame while protecting the inset surfaces. Review changes to the room opening before trimming or altering the irregular grid. Further guidance: Screen system fixing and installation guidance

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 Mixed Infill Stainless Steel Partition Screen

An Asymmetrical Grid Gives The Partition Its Character

The black frame divides the screen into rectangular fields of different proportions, avoiding a uniform row-and-column pattern. Longer horizontal members hold the composition together while shorter uprights shift between the openings. It offers a graphic room divider for restaurants and lounges where the partition itself forms part of the interior design.

Different Infill Textures Create Contrast Within The Frame

Translucent and more strongly textured inset fields vary the visual treatment across the screen. Their contrast works with the irregular grid rather than relying on a separate ornamental cutout motif. Select the actual infill materials and surfaces through samples; appearance alone does not confirm glazing construction or acoustic performance.

The Dark Border Makes Each Panel Division Legible

Black members outline both broad and narrow inserts, giving the composition a clear framework. Coordinate their visible face widths and the position of cross-members with nearby furniture and wall details. The finish specification should identify the agreed black surface, without assuming a coating process from its colour.

Plan Infill Replacement Around The Framed Module

The partition uses inset modules that need coordinated retention and edge clearance. Resolve which inserts can be replaced and how their retainers are accessed before surrounding works close the assembly. The supporting stainless steel frame and each infill remain separate detailing items, including any required separation between adjacent materials.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Irregular Rectangles Create A Graphic Partition Layout

Unequal fields and offset uprights give the screen a different rhythm from a regular square grid.

Texture Changes Add Interest Without A Cutout Motif

Contrasting infill surfaces provide the decorative variation within the black framework.

Black Members Clearly Outline Each Inset Field

The dark border makes both narrow and broad inserts part of a legible overall composition.

Separate Insets Allow A Coordinated Replacement Strategy

Retention and access can be resolved around individual modules rather than treating the whole infilled screen as an undifferentiated panel.

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

Xinmao response

Fixing methods and structural integration are fully resolved during detailing, providing contractors with clear shop drawings before fabrication.

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.
