Custom stainless steel screen

Silver Scallop Laser Cut Stainless Steel Screen

Silver scallop openwork is divided by a broad central accent band, creating a detailed stainless steel screen for interior feature openings.
Product Features

Silver scallop laser-cut metal screens use a layered repeating motif and central framed accent for restaurant, corridor and decorative wall openings. Check the smallest cutout webs and edge clearances against the required panel size. 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.

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 central accent band's height and the up direction of the scallop repeat before positioning the frame.
  • Keep straps, temporary clamps and lifting loads clear of the narrow cutout webs, supporting the panel at agreed frame locations.
  • Check pattern termination at the band and surround before final tightening; do not force the openwork to compensate for an irregular substrate.
  • Protect the silver visible edges and accent surface until adjacent trades are finished, and confirm fixing access without treating the decorative band as a handling grip. Further guidance: Screen system fixing and installation guidance

Style direction

Modern geometric, Chinese-inspired lattice, European decorative or fully custom laser-cut patterns.

Defines the visual character, pattern density and processing complexity of the screen.

Primary function

Entry partition, backdrop, stair or railing infill, window feature, suspended screen or spatial accent.

Determines the structural approach, fixing method and privacy requirement.

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.

Silver Scallop Laser Cut Stainless Steel Screen

The Central Band Interrupts A Continuous Scallop Field

A broad horizontal accent divides the repeated scallops into separate areas. It gives the screen a stronger internal landmark than an uninterrupted pattern alone. Position the band in relation to the restaurant, corridor or wall opening so it reads as an intentional part of the elevation.

Nested Curves Introduce Detail Around The Accent

The layered-looking scallop outlines continue above and below the band, contrasting their fine curved edges with its simpler surface. Their effect comes from the repeated linework and openings. Approve the chosen repeat and edge appearance on a sample rather than assuming the visual layering defines a particular assembly method.

Laser-Cut Webs Need Review Beside The Border

Develop the stainless steel cutting file with the smallest connecting webs, perimeter margins and pattern termination at the accent band. Those transitions should be checked at the agreed panel size before fabrication. Any required reinforcement belongs in the approved support detail, not inferred from the decorative repeat.

Silver Finishing Makes Edge Quality Part Of Selection

The silver-toned surfaces pick up light along the curved pattern and the broader cross-band. Review their appearance together, including exposed cut edges and nearby frame junctions. Coordinate the final surround and fixing access with the interior opening; the central accent is not specified as door hardware.

Details that hold the screen together

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

A Broad Band Gives The Fine Motif Structure

The horizontal accent establishes a visual break within the detailed field of scallop openings.

Curved Openwork Contrasts With A Simpler Surface

The difference between the repeated curves and the plain band gives the composition two distinct visual scales.

Silver Highlights Emphasise The Pattern Edges

The finish direction allows light to define the nested outlines and their relationship to the frame.

The Accent Height Can Relate To The Interior

Setting out the band against the room elevation helps connect the screen to nearby furniture, wall panelling or other visible lines.

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.
