Project Leader: The Historical Museum
Metal Mesh: Chainex 07
Material: Stainless Steel 316L
To the exhibition at the Historical Museum “Massakern vid muren – slaget om Gotland 1361” we were asked to produce
metal mesh Chainex 07 in stainless steel of single welded rings, like chain mail. A metal mesh that can be created
in a piece without interruption up to 23 sqm. The metal mesh is placed in stands together with parts of weapons,
dropped horseshoes and parts of armor that has been sliced off in combat. Parts from the battle where 1 800
gotländska farmers was killed in a brutal combat against a Danish army, led by King Valdemar Atterdag.
Materials used
Metal mesh RM.07 (formerly Chainex 07) is a mesh composed of fully welded rings. Each ring is connected to four rings. The specific welding technique makes it very strong and resistant to deformation. The size of the metal mesh RM.07 rings makes it slightly more elastic than ring fabric SL with the smaller ring. The panels are produced in the standard size of 500 x 500 mm and can be easily joined together to form larger installations. Special dimensions are offered on request. The metal curtains are preferably ordered about 2-3 cm longer as they are often finished resting on the floor. The construction of the metal mesh means that it can fall somewhat unevenly in height.
The mesh can also be enameled in different colors such as silver, gunmetal, bronze, gold, light gold, black, white or plated in custom colors. The metal mesh is suitable for interior decoration such as room dividers, metal curtains, products, etc.
It is fire and UV resistant, stable against moisture and mold, and requires minimal maintenance.
