Custom stainless steel screen

Sculptural Art Deco Metal Screens for Interiors

Radial, curved and linear metal compositions create sculptural screen options for design-led hotels, clubs and retail interiors.
Product Features

Sculptural Art Deco metal screens offer radial, curved and linear panel compositions for design-led hotels, clubs and retail interiors. Select the composition for each opening, then coordinate its pattern transitions and frame connections. Shop drawings should define panel divisions, frame stiffness, fixing points, diagonal tolerances and the fabrication sequence for every selected infill type. Xinmao Metal can coordinate fabrication details, samples, finish matching and export-ready packing for the project.

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 radial, curved or linear composition and its orientation against the approved elevation before setting out.
  • Review member connections, frame support and module divisions for that design; do not substitute another composition's fixing detail without approval.
  • Protect projecting and slender members during lifting and temporary storage, using agreed frame support and handling points.
  • Check opening dimensions, perimeter alignment and connection access before final fixing. Coordinate adjustment with surrounding finishes rather than deforming the decorative members. Further guidance: Screen system fixing and installation guidance

Overall dimensions

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.

Sculptural Art Deco Metal Screens for Interiors

Radiating Lines Create A Sculptural Focal Point

A radiating arrangement of slender members gives one screen option a strong sense of movement. Lines change direction across the panel rather than following a single uniform grid, making the composition suitable for an interior location intended to act as a decorative focal point.

Curved And Linear Options Change The Rhythm

Other compositions combine nested curves, vertical lines or broad circular segments within a rectangular frame. Choose the arrangement for the intended opening and viewing distance. Each option has a different balance of line, open area and visual weight, rather than being an alternate view of one panel.

Depth And Spacing Shape The Interior View

The open members establish a boundary without the uniform enclosure of a solid wall. Their spacing and directional changes influence the views through the screen, so coordinate the composition with circulation, nearby seating and the principal approach to the space.

Junctions Need To Follow The Selected Composition

Radial intersections, curved transitions and long straight members place different demands on the frame layout. Develop connection positions, module divisions and any additional support for the chosen design, retaining its visual rhythm while allowing practical handling and installation.

Project Samples Resolve Finish And Assembly Choices

For hotel, club and retail interiors, review a representative junction and finish sample alongside the approved elevation. Confirm the metal specification, member sizes and fabrication details before production. Dark and warm metallic appearances provide visual directions but do not identify the underlying material or coating.

Perimeter Planning Integrates The Screen With Architecture

Coordinate the screen's border with floor, head and wall finishes early in the project. Agree access to the connections, transportable module sizes and protection for projecting members, so the sculptural composition remains compatible with the contractor's installation sequence.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Radial Linework Introduces A Sense Of Movement

The changing direction of the members creates a focal composition rather than a uniform background grid.

Curved Variants Provide Another Sculptural Direction

Nested arcs and circular segments offer alternatives for interiors that favour softer transitions or a broader geometric scale.

Open Members Retain Depth Across The Room

The screen forms a visible spatial boundary while allowing the architecture and furnishings beyond to remain part of the view.

Composition-Specific Details Keep The Design Coherent

Developing the frame and junctions for the selected arrangement helps preserve its intended rhythm through fabrication and installation.

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.
