OKATECH Insulated Glass Units with Expanded Metal & Woven Wire Mesh
The OKATECH range
OKATECH insulating glass incorporates expanded metal, woven wire mesh or decorative metal inserts within the sealed cavity of the glass unit. The protected insert can provide angle-selective solar control, glare reduction, partial outward views and privacy while giving the façade a distinctive colour, texture and visual depth. Different mesh geometries and finishes allow the system to be tailored to the architectural appearance and performance requirements of each project.
OKATECH Expanded Metal Mesh
Glazed façades with OKATECH expanded metal inserts always set visual accents. Copper, Bronze & Aluminum inserts are not only attractive elements of design but also function as direction-selective daylight systems and offer dynamic solar control.
During the day, they give the building shell a special glow and the façade a metallic shimmer in sunlight. At night, when artificial light is used, they allow deep views into the interior.
In addition to façades and parapets, OKATECH expanded metal is also suited for sophisticated interior design applications.
OKATECH Woven Wire Metal Mesh
Glazed façades with OKATECH woven wire metal fabric interlayers not only afford attractive elements of design but also fulfill requirements for sun and glare-protection and allow views to the outside.
During the day, they give the building shell a special glow and the façade has a metallic shimmer in the sunlight. At night, when artificial light is used, they allow deep views into the interior and an external 'glow'.
In addition to façades and parapets, OKATECH wire mesh is also suited for sophisticated interior design applications.
OKATECH P
Insulating glass with an expanded metal insert in the cavity as privacy protection and at the same time as a design element with variable functions.
OKATECH P enables partial transparency in one direction at the same time as privacy screening in the other direction, and has been optimised for use in the building façade.
OKATECH with Decorative Metal Inserts
Decorative laser-cut metal, protected and simple to maintain when inside the cavity of a high-performance insulated glass unit.
