When it comes to balancing form and function, few materials offer the same level of visual appeal and versatility as our newly launched brass-coloured aluminium lattice weave mesh.
At The Mesh Company, we’ve always aimed to provide both practical solutions and design-focused options—and this new addition to our online range is a perfect example of that ethos.
Let’s begin with the basics.
This material is a woven lattice mesh made from anodised aluminium with a brass-coloured finish.
The key specification that makes this product stand out is its 5mm aperture (hole size) and its flat 2mm-wide woven strands, arranged in a tight, precise criss-cross pattern that creates a sturdy and elegant mesh.
What’s more, being made from aluminium rather than true brass has several functional benefits:
It’s significantly lighter in weight
It won’t tarnish or oxidise like traditional brass
It’s more cost-effective, particularly when used in larger surface areas
This product is part of our expanding decorative and architectural mesh range, which includes woven brass mesh, copper mesh, and other anodised finishes.
The appeal of brass is undeniable. Its rich, golden tone brings warmth and elegance to any project. But brass comes with a few limitations: it’s expensive, heavy, and prone to tarnishing. For many projects—particularly those that require a consistent, clean finish—these drawbacks can be a dealbreaker.
This is where anodised aluminium excels. The anodising process increases corrosion resistance, hardness, and surface durability, while allowing us to add a rich brass colour that mimics the visual warmth of real brass without the maintenance.
The result is a long-lasting decorative finish that holds up well both indoors and outdoors.
The design and durability of our lattice weave mesh make it suitable for a wide variety of projects. Some of the most popular applications include:
The woven lattice design is an ideal option for cabinet door inserts—particularly in kitchens, pantries, and wardrobes. Its lightweight aluminium structure doesn’t add stress to hinges, and its visual appearance can complement both classic and contemporary interiors.
Thanks to the 5mm aperture, the mesh offers plenty of airflow while maintaining a protective barrier. It’s ideal for ventilation panels, heater covers, or access panels in domestic and commercial settings.
Here is a handy artist’s rendering of how this mesh can look in this context:
Architects and interior designers frequently use decorative mesh as a partition or cladding material. The brass finish gives a luxurious look, perfect for hotels, retail spaces, and restaurants.
Because it balances airflow and rigidity, lattice mesh is an excellent choice for speaker fronts, where aesthetics matter just as much as acoustic performance.
At The Mesh Company, we offer a wide range of decorative and functional meshes. Here’s how the brass-coloured lattice weave compares:
| Mesh Type | Visual Finish | Corrosion Resistance | Weight | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brass Woven Wire | True brass | Moderate | Medium | Cabinet inserts, crafts |
| Copper Woven Mesh | Rich orange tone | Moderate | Medium | DIY projects, shielding |
| Aluminium Anodised (Brass Finish) | Brass appearance | Excellent | Light | Decorative screens, ventilation |
| Stainless Steel Woven Mesh | Silver finish | High | Heavier | Industrial filters, rodent mesh |
Our woven brass and copper meshes are very popular with DIYers and crafters, but they can oxidise over time unless properly sealed.
The stainless steel options are workhorses, particularly in pest-proofing or industrial screening. However, if your primary concern is aesthetic design with low maintenance, this anodised aluminium mesh stands apart.
Here’s a breakdown of the key technical details for this mesh:
Material: Anodised Aluminium
Finish: Brass-coloured coating
Strand Width: 2mm
Hole Size (Aperture): 5mm
Mesh Count: 3.5 holes per linear inch
Open Area: 39.06%
Cutting Method: Easily cut using kitchen scissors or tin snips
With a 39% open area, this mesh strikes the perfect balance between visibility and protection. It filters light and air while still functioning as a reliable barrier.
This mesh is extremely easy to work with. Unlike some stiffer steel or brass meshes, aluminium is softer and more flexible, making it suitable for projects where curves or precise fitting is required.
Tin snips or heavy-duty scissors
Sandpaper (for smoothing cut edges)
Fixing options: screws, adhesives, U-channels, or framing kits
No specialist tools or welding are needed—this is a mesh that’s DIY-friendly and ideal for home improvement enthusiasts.
One of the biggest benefits of anodised aluminium is how little it needs in terms of upkeep. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent will keep the mesh looking fresh. It’s non-corrosive, and the anodised coating won’t peel or fade.
Unlike brass, it won’t tarnish and lose its lustre over time. This is especially important for kitchen and bathroom use where steam or moisture can damage untreated materials.
In the world of mesh materials, it’s not often you find a product that truly marries aesthetics with practicality. Our brass-coloured aluminium lattice weave mesh does just that. It looks like brass, performs like aluminium, and is easy to cut, install, and maintain.
Whether you’re working on a home renovation project, designing a commercial interior, or simply upgrading cabinet panels, this mesh provides an affordable and stylish solution.
