Custom stainless steel screen

Chinese-Style Stainless Steel Lattice Screens for Entrances

Chinese-style stainless steel lattice screens use fine grids and shaped outlines to frame foyers, consoles and softly defined interior transitions.
Product Features

Chinese-style stainless steel decorative screen panels combine fine lattice, diamond-grid and shaped openwork patterns within narrow framed partitions. The supplied designs suit entrance foyers, living areas, feature walls and reception spaces, where they divide zones while retaining light and visual connection. Xinmao Metal can adapt the screen profile, pattern scale, panel proportions and visible finish for a project-specific interior scheme.

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
  • Confirm the selected scalloped, elongated octagonal, vertical-grille or four-lobed design on the drawing. Keep shaped wall features and full-height partitions separately identified.
  • Survey the wall or opening and approve appropriate supports, frame fixings and clearances. Console furniture and planting must not be assumed to support the metal screen.
  • Align the visible profile and centre motif with the agreed interior setting. Protect narrow lattice members during lifting and avoid unapproved cutting or reshaping on site.
  • Check the selected finish with the approved sample and maintain cleaning access around the console or adjoining wall. Confirm safe edge and mounting details for the actual location before handover. 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.

Chinese-Style Stainless Steel Lattice Screens for Entrances

Scalloped Repeats Within A Narrow Entrance Screen

The repeating scalloped direction adds a fine decorative field beside a console and entrance display. Its narrow proportions suit a transition where a full wall would be visually heavy. The frame, motif scale and relationship to the furniture are developed as one interior composition.

An Elongated Octagonal Lattice Wall Feature

An elongated octagonal outline contains a fine grid, giving the screen a defined silhouette above and below the console line. The shaped perimeter distinguishes this feature-wall option from a conventional rectangular partition. Its actual fixing arrangement and any background treatment are selected for the wall condition.

Vertical Grille Lines With A Central Motif

Slender vertical lines and a small central shaped motif provide a more restrained entrance treatment. The open field keeps the space beyond visible while the central detail gives the screen a focal point. The nearby console and planting remain separate elements unless specifically included in the project supply.

A Four Lobed Outline With Fine Lattice

The four-lobed feature combines a rounded silhouette with a small repeated grid. It can sit above an interior console as a decorative focal element rather than a full-height divider. Xinmao Metal can adapt the profile, pattern scale and visible finish to the selected interior; outline dimensions, mounting and clearances are confirmed through the project drawing.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Fine Repeats With A Chinese Style Character

Small scalloped and grid-like repeats bring detail to a restrained entrance setting. The pattern can relate to timber, display objects and simple console furniture without relying on a continuous solid wall.

Octagonal Outlines That Read Beyond The Grid

The elongated octagonal border gives the fine lattice its own silhouette. Its proportions can be coordinated with artwork and a console so the surrounding wall remains an active part of the composition.

A Small Motif Within Vertical Grille Lines

A central shaped element adds a focal point to a more open bar arrangement. The design balances a clear vertical rhythm with a contained decorative gesture instead of covering the entire face with dense ornament.

Rounded Four Lobed Forms Above A Console

The four-lobed option gives the wall feature a softer outline. Reviewing that shape with the console, vase and surrounding finishes helps position the screen as part of a complete interior setting, not an isolated decorative accessory.

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.
