Greenwich Design District – A Landmark Architectural Mesh Installation
The Greenwich Design District is one of London’s most distinctive architectural developments, bringing together sixteen individually designed buildings on the Greenwich Peninsula to create a vibrant destination for creative businesses. Locker Architectural was appointed by Ardmore Construction to design, supply and install more than 2,000m² of Rope Diamond Ferruled Mesh for Buildings C1 and D1. […]
Flat Top Weave Mesh Explained
Flat top weave wire mesh is one of those products that looks deceptively simple until you understand why it exists and how it is made. It is not a decorative invention. It was not created for architecture. It was engineered to solve very real industrial problems — and it just happens to be one of […]
The Brocklebank Pre-Crimped Range: Britain’s Definitive Flat Top Architectural Mesh
If flat top weave is the engineering principle, the Brocklebank Pre-Crimped Range is its most recognisable architectural expression in the UK. Brocklebank meshes have been used quietly, repeatedly, and successfully for decades — long before architectural mesh became fashionable. Where the Brocklebank Range Came From Brocklebank meshes originated in heavy industrial applications where load, durability, […]
Spanning the Impossible: Delivering a Single-Piece Cable Mesh Façade at Scale
Why Large, Continuous Mesh Spans Still Matter In architectural metal mesh, scale changes everything. At small sizes, mesh behaves predictably. At large sizes, it stops being a product and becomes a system — governed by weight, tension, movement, tolerances, and how installers actually work on site. That reality came sharply into focus at Green Park […]
Architectural Metal Mesh and Lighting: How Light Defines and Enhances Metal Surfaces
Metal mesh in architecture is often chosen for its structural performance, durability, and openness — but one of its most powerful qualities is the way it interacts with light. Light doesn’t just reveal mesh — it transforms it. Whether used on façades, ceilings, screens, or internal partitions, architectural metal mesh offers designers a dynamic “light […]
Laser-Cut Architectural Metal: From Civic Gates to Large-Scale Public Infrastructure
For decades, architectural metalwork has balanced two competing demands: performance and expression. Security screens, gates and façades must do a job — controlling access, resisting impact, meeting fire and durability requirements — while also contributing positively to the architecture around them. Laser cutting represents a significant shift in how those two demands can be met […]
Working in Wembley
Wembley is more than a postcode. It is one of the most scrutinised and high-profile built environments in the UK. Every intervention around the national stadium sits under a level of public visibility and expectation that few places experience. For Locker Architectural, having contributed multiple architectural mesh installations in the Wembley area is not simply […]
Mesh Behaviour, Movement & Physics
What Really Happens Once Architectural Mesh Is Installed Architectural mesh is often specified as if it were a static material — a surface that simply sits where it is drawn and performs exactly as shown on paper. In reality, mesh is dynamic. It moves, it responds to wind and temperature, and it behaves very differently […]
