Few projects showcase how metal fabric can protect from wind like Holmenkollen.

At this ski jumping facility in Oslo, Sambesi and Sambesi PC metal mesh weaves convert the wind into a laminar airflow to shield jumpers from gusts of fierce wind. More than 7,300 square meters of mesh was fitted to the steel structure, following wind tunnel testing.

Through the power of digital technology, a piece of architecture can communicate branding, graphics, live broadcasts, and conceptual arts all on a large format platform: GKD Mediamesh.

📺 This transparent media facade consists of stainless steel mesh with interwoven LED lights. When transparency, view, and scale are important, Mediamesh can be installed over any building surface to transform it into a dynamic communication medium.

Growth and a commitment to excellence define St. Thomas University, a higher education institution based in Miami Gardens, Florida. That's why the university recently built the Rico Family Plaza at the Gus Machado College of Business.

Designed by Bermello Ajamil Partners, the 46,521-sq.-ft. complex features a state-of-the-art classroom building, the Business School Administration Building, and the Center for Career Development. The open architectural style was created by using the Tigris weave metal mesh to both protect and highlight the building.

Since 1973, Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center has been known for its extensive medical services, including the largest Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the area. As the community grew, the center brought on Perkins&Will to design a new patient wing and accompanying parking structure.

GKD Omega Divergence was chosen for the parking garage; the metal fabric defines the overall shape of the building while still revealing details.

Designed by HOK, the Hamad International Airport needed a modern upgrade as well as a place to showcase ads and videos on local culture. This was the first transparent media facade made of stainless steel mesh in the Middle East. Located in the duty-free and arrival corridor, these GKD Mediamesh facades allow passengers arriving or departing to experience what's happening outside the airport as they pass by.

At GKD Metal Fabrics, we always pride ourselves on supporting the local community in which we run our business, and where our employees live.

Today we had the honor of assisting Habitat for Humanity on a growing cul-de-sac in the heart of downtown Cambridge. With this community service, we're helping to build up families who need that little bit of help to get a slice of the American Dream.

Thank you to our employees who volunteered their time today - we look forward to continuing this partnership with Habitat for Humanity and with our community.

Habitat for Humanity works to supply affordable housing for low-income homeowners who need help to maintain and perform necessary repairs on their homes, allowing them to reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. There are many qualifications you must pass to partake in this program. Want to know how you can help your local Habitat for Humanity? Visit their website: https://habitatchoptank.org/

The University of Washington Behavioral Health Center is designed for individuals struggling with serious physical and behavioral health problems. While offering an interdisciplinary training and workforce development program for behavioral health providers, the Center also runs clinical services such as medication management, psychotherapy, state-of-the art neuromodulation treatments, and medical and surgical care.

Because of its minimal open space, GKD‘s Lago weave was used for security screening in the courtyard terrace. Lago boasts a blend of transparency and density while eliminating gaps or voids between the mesh material and the structure. Lago is 46% transparent, meaning ventilation and much-needed views to the surrounding natural world are unobstructed but patients are secure.
