Stainless steel

Top qualitiy wire rope is made with stainless steel, which will not rust (but, on the other hand, is not usually magnetic either!). Stainless steel construction elements are definitely recommended when their use will include exposure to moisture – in the case of wire rope, one can alternatively use the PVC jacketed version instead.

Wire ropes can be formed into a loop by using SIMPLEX or DUPLEX CLIPS. We do have on offer steel wires that have been made up in this way for the purpose of hanging in a GALLERY SYSTEM: the STEEL WIRE WITH HOLDING BRACKET is one example.

The flexible meshes made out of aluminium, galvanized wire and copper wire or stainless steel wire are only woven and therefore can be freely formed into three-dimensional shapes. Custom cutting of these meshes faces the danger of the borders fraying and the loss of its cohesion – a danger, however, that decreases as the delicacy of the mesh increases.
