Landscape Interior Metal Paneling
Cambridge Architectural
http://www.cambridgearchitectural.com/System.aspx?ID=22

The photo shown is that at Bush International Airport in Houston. As one can see, the metal mesh made by carnegie is a durable professional material that goes great in many commercial applications.



"Metal mesh adds dramatic visual and textural appeal while serving as a maintenance-free method of interior cladding. It is virtually impossible to dent, scratch or mar, and so is a favored wall finish for high-traffic areas such as lobbies and elevator interiors.

Cambridge mesh works hand-in-hand with - and even improves - existing building systems. When mesh is installed below ceiling lighting fixtures, it gently diffuses light and at the same time obscures HVAC and fire protection systems. Mesh also provides a stunning effect with reflected light."
