Custom stainless steel screen

Bronze Crystal Infill Stainless Steel Feature Screen

Individually retained clear crystal elements fill a tall bronze-tone stainless steel grid for statement reception and hospitality features.
Product Features

Designed to separate space without a solid wall, this product uses a tall bronze-tone grid supporting individually fixed clear decorative crystal elements. Use it in hotel atriums, reception zones and double-height feature partitions to define zones while retaining a lighter visual boundary. The frame load path, individual infill fixing, module replacement method and vibration control should be reviewed with an approved sample. Submit CAD drawings, dimensions and finish references for technical review by Xinmao Metal.

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

Installation Precautions
  • Agree frame supports, module divisions and the installation sequence for the actual height before bringing the assembly into the feature opening.
  • Handle the supporting frame using the approved lifting arrangement; keep straps and temporary bracing off the individual clear elements and their small retainers.
  • Check every decorative element and its retaining points for damage or looseness before the module is raised, following the agreed inspection and securing procedure.
  • Preserve access for individual insert replacement and review vibration or contact risks at the final location. Do not use the decorative grid as a guard, handhold or safety barrier without a separately designed system. 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.

Bronze Crystal Infill Stainless Steel Feature Screen

Individual Clear Elements Establish The Decorative Field

The screen uses rows of separate elongated crystal elements held within a bronze-tone stainless steel grid. Their clear, shaped surfaces provide a different decorative character from a continuous glazed panel. It can become a prominent reception or atrium feature where the individual inserts remain part of the visible composition.

Horizontal Rails Give The Tall Screen A Measured Rhythm

Regular cross rails divide the long frame into successive rows, providing an architectural order around the smaller clear elements. The tall proportions make the relationship between the border, rails and repeated inserts especially important. Develop the module arrangement against the actual feature opening rather than simply extending a shorter panel.

Small End Connections Are Part Of The Appearance

Each decorative element meets individual metal retaining points at its ends. These connections contribute to the detail seen at close range as well as to the assembly design. Review their visible position, finish and replacement access with a representative sample before confirming the fabrication arrangement.

Light And Viewing Angle Change The Clear Surfaces

The elongated clear forms present varied highlights and outlines as the approach changes. Consider the feature with the proposed room lighting and the backgrounds behind it, while keeping the appearance separate from any performance claim. The screen is decorative metalwork, not an assumed lighting fixture or certified glazing barrier.

Resolve Insert Retention And Frame Support Together

The supporting frame and the individually retained decorative pieces need a coordinated load path, connection and replacement strategy. Review vibration control and the selected module with the project team before production. Neither the clear appearance nor the name crystal establishes composition, impact resistance or suitability for an unsupported high-level installation.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Separate Clear Elements Create A Repeated Decorative Field

Individual elongated inserts give the screen its character instead of a single continuous sheet of glazing.

A Tall Grid Organises The Smaller Components

Regular cross rails create a clear row structure within the long bronze-tone perimeter.

Visible Retaining Points Add A Close-Range Detail

Small metal connections give the interface between clear elements and frame a deliberate place in the composition.

Clear Shaped Surfaces Respond To Their Surroundings

Highlights and outlines vary with the lighting, background and viewing angle, providing visual interest without an integral lighting claim.

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.
