Custom stainless steel screen

Black Seigaiha Perforated Stainless Steel & Aluminum Screen

Black Seigaiha wave screens combine nested curves with continuous or divided-frame layouts for restaurants, tea lounges and hospitality interiors.
Product Features

Black Seigaiha perforated metal screens repeat a Japanese wave pattern in framed panels for restaurants, tea lounges and hospitality partitions. Coordinate perforation size, remaining web width and perimeter support before cutting. During shop-drawing development, the minimum web width, open-area ratio and edge clearances should be checked; large panels can use perimeter folds, framed support and concealed stiffeners. Xinmao Metal provides drawing-based fabrication support for hospitality and commercial interior packages.

The patterned metal panels are available in stainless steel or aluminum, with a carved aluminum screen option developed from the selected design. Material grade, panel thickness, pattern scale, edge details and surface finish are confirmed for each project. The fabrication method and fixing arrangement are reviewed against the chosen material and approved drawings.

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
  • Mark the up direction of the nested waves and the chosen continuous or divided-frame layout on the approved panel schedule.
  • Check the pattern start and end at horizontal divisions and borders before securing the frame, especially across neighbouring modules.
  • Keep handling loads on the approved frame supports and protect the narrow curved webs and black visible edges from clamps and straps.
  • Confirm the selected metal, perimeter support and connection adjustment before installation; assess finish and view-through under the intended restaurant or lounge lighting. 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 Seigaiha Perforated Stainless Steel & Aluminum Screen

Nested Wave Outlines Give The Pattern Its Identity

The Seigaiha motif is formed by repeated nested curves, producing an ordered wave field across the panel. The pattern introduces a recognisable Japanese-inspired direction for a tea lounge or restaurant divider while leaving the openings as part of the design rather than filling them with solid decoration.

Continuous And Divided Frames Read Differently

A continuous patterned field gives the motif an uninterrupted presence, while the divided-frame arrangement introduces horizontal bands and open edge areas. Choose the layout as well as the motif. The frame divisions affect the proportions of the finished screen even when the wave pattern remains related.

Pattern Direction Should Follow The Interior Elevation

The nested waves have a clear orientation that needs to be resolved at the head, base and any horizontal divisions. Coordinate the border and repeat with the room elevation so the pattern reads intentionally behind seating or along a hospitality threshold, rather than being cropped solely to match a stock rectangle.

Resolve The Openings And Support For Each Version

Develop the remaining web widths, frame support and visible edges around the approved pattern and selected metal. Stainless steel and carved aluminum versions are specified separately. Use a representative sample to agree the black finish and the appearance through the openings, without assigning unverified acoustic or structural performance to the perforated field.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Seigaiha Curves Create A Recognisable Design Direction

The nested wave repeat gives the screen a distinct identity suited to a deliberately Japanese-inspired interior scheme.

Frame Divisions Change The Overall Composition

Continuous and divided layouts let the motif occupy the opening in different ways rather than merely changing its colour.

Open Borders Contrast With The Patterned Field

The divided-frame configuration places clearer edge areas beside the repeated curves, making the surround part of the visual design.

A Defined Orientation Helps The Motif Read Clearly

Setting out the waves from an agreed datum keeps the repeat and its cropped edges related to the interior elevation.

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.
