Custom stainless steel screen

Silver Layered Scallop Stainless Steel & Aluminum Screen

Dense scalloped metalwork gives booth boundaries and reception niches a finely detailed surface with a silver-toned finish direction.
Product Features

Silver layered-scallop metal screens use a dense repeating relief for restaurant booths, reception niches and decorative interior openings. Confirm pattern density, viewing distance and frame proportions before approving the fabrication drawing. 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. Project teams can submit CAD drawings, dimensions and finish samples for technical review by Xinmao Metal.

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
  • Set out the visible border around the booth or niche so dense partial repeats at the perimeter follow the approved pattern drawing.
  • Handle the screen by its frame and keep protective padding clear of delicate scallop connections; do not pull through the patterned openings.
  • Check the sample and installed panel from the intended seated and approach positions before agreeing final visual acceptance.
  • Coordinate frame anchors, any concealed reinforcement and cleaning access with the finished opening. Avoid forcing the fine infill against an uneven substrate. 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.

Silver Layered Scallop Stainless Steel & Aluminum Screen

Small Scallops Reward A Closer View

Closely nested scallop outlines give this screen a fine-grained appearance. From a distance the repeated curves read as a textured field; at a booth or reception niche, the individual lobed outlines become more apparent. This makes viewing distance an important part of choosing the pattern scale.

Layered Outlines Bring Variety To Silver Surfaces

The silver-toned scallop motif combines dark openings with bright edges, breaking a broad metallic area into smaller visual intervals. Judge the finished sample beside the intended upholstery, wall colour and lighting. The layered appearance describes the motif, not a confirmed multi-sheet construction.

Dense Screening Suits Intimate Interior Boundaries

For restaurant booths or decorative openings, a closely repeated pattern can establish a more visually defined edge than widely spaced bars. Confirm the desired view through the actual sample from seated positions. Pattern density alone is not a guarantee of privacy or an acoustic rating.

Fine Connections Guide Material And Edge Decisions

Stainless steel and carved aluminum options need detailing around the narrow connections and repeated curved edges. Agree the selected metal, thickness and edge finish before production, using the surrounding frame to resolve the transition into the niche or opening. A related rectilinear pattern is also available for a different visual direction.

Details that hold the screen together

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

Lobed Repeats Create A Fine Visual Grain

The small scalloped units produce a closely worked surface rather than the broad rhythm of a large fan-pattern divider.

Silver Tones Emphasise The Curved Edges

Highlights along the repeated outlines contrast with the darker openings, giving the pattern definition without an added graphic layer.

Near And Distant Views Read Differently

The surface can read as a unified texture across the room and reveal its individual curves as visitors approach.

A Restrained Surround Contains The Dense Motif

The simple frame gives the fine pattern a clear boundary beside upholstered booths, wall finishes or reception joinery.

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.
