Custom stainless steel screen
Silver scallop-lattice metal screens use compact layered repeats for lift lobbies, corridors and contemporary reception partitions. Compare motif density with viewing distance and confirm edge framing and cutout clearances. 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. Xinmao Metal can coordinate fabrication details, samples, finish matching and export-ready packing for the project.
These decorative metal screen designs can be made in stainless steel or aluminum, including a carved aluminum option for the selected patterned panels. Coordinate the material grade, panel or bar dimensions, frame connections and visible finish with the approved drawings. Plate-cut patterns and fabricated bars are different construction options and should be detailed separately.
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.
Lead time ：10–15 days after drawing confirmation (standard screen / ceiling / wall panel)
Minimum order ： No fixed MOQ; feasibility assessed per project
Standards ：Fabricated to ASTM A240 / EN 10088 material spec; finish per ASTM A480
PRODUCT DETAILS
Five core parameters for configuring custom stainless steel screens based on your project drawings, finishes, and site conditions.
Typical specifications for preliminary design. Final configurations are refined against approved shop drawings, sample sign-offs, and site measurements.
Defines the visual character, pattern density and processing complexity of the screen.
Determines the structural approach, fixing method and privacy requirement.
Final dimensions follow the elevation, transport route, site access and installation condition.
Grade is selected around the project environment, required appearance and approved specification.
Creates the load-bearing structure and the visible outline of the screen.
Wall and sheet thickness are resolved with the opening size, rigidity, pattern density and handling requirements.
Approved samples establish the final colour, reflectivity and relationship to surrounding finishes.
Brushed finishes are typically more forgiving in touch areas; mirror and detailed finishes need a maintenance plan appropriate to the location.
Final colour, texture and sheen are confirmed against approved samples before production.
Weld locations, grinding and polish direction are considered before fabrication so exposed connections remain controlled.
These elements can introduce privacy, light diffusion, material contrast or a more substantial visual presence.
Joint locations, module sizes and fixing allowances are coordinated before fabrication.
Fixing points, floor build-up, wall substrate and access are confirmed during design development.
Packaging is selected to reduce handling risk and protect finished metalwork during long-distance transport.
A simple care routine helps preserve the intended surface appearance over time.
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.
A screen is most convincing when pattern, panel construction, finish and interfaces are resolved as one composition.
Pattern density is calibrated to balance line-of-sight privacy with ambient light and spatial flow.
Motifs are scaled and proportioned across the full elevation, ensuring seamless pattern continuation without awkward crops.
Elevations are modularized into manageable sections, aligning panel joints seamlessly with the architectural grid.
Finish tones and grain directions are cross-matched with adjacent metalwork, timber, or stone before production.
Fixing methods and structural integration are fully resolved during detailing, providing contractors with clear shop drawings before fabrication.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
