Stainless steel safety window cable mesh is a flexible, high-strength safety net installed in front of windows and high openings. It is designed to prevent falls, stop objects from dropping and make intrusion more difficult, while still allowing full light, air and visibility.The mesh is made from stainless steel wire ropes arranged in two directions and either interwoven (knotted) or connected with ferrules to form diamond-shaped openings. Each panel is custom-made to the exact size of the window and fixed to the frame or surrounding structure with stainless steel fittings.Compared with traditional window bars or heavy welded grilles, stainless steel safety window cable mesh is lighter, more transparent and more elegant. It is suitable for residential apartments, stair windows, schools, hospitals, offices and high-rise buildings where safety and modern design are both important.Wire rope mesh (also called cable mesh) is made from high quality stainless steel wire rope. It offers excellent resistance to corrosion and UV rays and has a long service life even in harsh environments. Its biggest advantages are resilience and flexibility. The mesh can be supplied as knotted mesh, ferrule type mesh, woven square mesh or square mesh with cross clamps, and is widely used by architects in modern projects.Stainless Steel Safety Window Cable Infilled Mesh Optional

Technology – Types of Stainless Steel Safety Window Cable Mesh
There are two main types of stainless steel rope mesh used as safety window cable mesh.
- Knotted cable mesh is a plain weave mesh where each warp wire rope crosses alternately above and below each weft wire rope. Warp and weft cables generally have the same diameter. The combination is inter-woven.
- Ferrule cable mesh has the same physical properties as knotted mesh, but the cables are connected by stainless steel ferrules. This creates very neat diamond openings and is widely used in architectural projects.
