Custom stainless steel screen

Custom Glass and Decorative Infill Stainless Steel Screens

Slim stainless steel frames combine clear glass, textured panels and decorative infill options for distinctive living, dining and entrance room dividers.
Product Features

Custom stainless steel glass screen partitions combine slim dark frames with textured, clear or decorative infill to define interiors without closing them off. The supplied designs suit entrance foyers, dining areas, living rooms and feature transitions, where light and sightlines should remain part of the space. Xinmao Metal can adapt the frame profile, panel layout, infill treatment and visible finish to suit a project-specific room divider.

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
  • Identify each approved clear, textured, open geometric or illustrated infill option before manufacture. Confirm material and glass safety requirements where applicable; appearance alone does not identify the panel build-up.
  • Coordinate the central circular sightline, paired passage opening and furniture clearances on the elevation. Keep the illustrated oval design separate from the rectangular glass modules in the schedule.
  • Approve the frame supports and infill retention for the actual construction. Use specified edge isolation for glass and avoid loading small decorative pieces during lifting or positioning.
  • Confirm fixing access and any panel-replacement sequence before adjacent finishes close the area. Protect the metal, glass and illustrated surfaces, using cleaning methods approved for the selected combination. 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.

Custom Glass and Decorative Infill Stainless Steel Screens

Clear Glass Between Living And Entrance Areas

A slim dark frame around clearer infill provides a simple way to mark the living-room entrance. The furniture and room beyond remain visible, so the divider is read through its outline rather than a dense decorative face. Glass type, edge retention and the required safety specification are confirmed for the actual project.

Textured Glass In An Ordered Rectangular Layout

Repeated textured pieces create a more detailed screen beside a dining area. Dark metal divisions contrast with the softly irregular glass surface, and rounded frame corners soften the overall outline. This direction offers visual texture without requiring the painted decorative panels used in another option.

A Circular Opening Within A Geometric Field

A circular opening breaks the fine geometric field and frames a view into the next room. Its position is coordinated with the doorway approach and furniture, giving the entrance screen a deliberate visual focus.

Decorative Oval Panels With An Illustrated Surface

Rounded oval-shaped fields and illustrated surfaces introduce a different decorative language between living and dining areas. Select the artwork, infill material and surface treatment as part of the approved sample and drawing. The coloured appearance does not establish a particular printing, painting or glazing process.

Paired Screen Fields Around An Interior Passage

Repeated grid-like fields can flank a central opening and create a balanced transition between rooms. The composition differs from a single freestanding divider: the opening width, panel rhythm and adjoining frame lines are developed together. Xinmao Metal can adapt the frame profile, panel layout and approved infill treatment to the interior brief, with each design option retaining its own material and connection details.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Slim Dark Lines Around Clearer Interior Views

The more transparent option places emphasis on the narrow frame. It can define the edge of a room while allowing the interior beyond to remain visually connected, with actual screening determined by the chosen infill and lighting.

Textured Panels With Softened Frame Corners

Small textured fields add close detail within an ordered dark grid. Rounded outer corners provide a softer outline beside dining furniture, giving the screen a different character from a square-edged clear-glass divider.

A Circular Focal Point Seen Through The Doorway

The circular opening introduces a clear point of focus within the geometric field. Its location can frame a selected view into the next room, making the relationship between the screen and entrance approach part of the design.

Illustrated Ovals As A Separate Decorative Option

Oval-shaped decorative fields bring colour and imagery into the divider. Treating them as a distinct infill selection allows their artwork and material to be coordinated with the interior instead of assuming they share the clear-glass option's construction.

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.
