Emerging from the metro station, one encounters the majestic MEGA SKY Building rising prominently before them. The building's facade features ShangKai Steel's SK 20-07 expanded metal, creating an unexpected yet striking harmony between the cool metallic texture and transparent glass. This unique material combination becomes a distinctive highlight in the urban landscape.

The curtain-like expanded metal extends along the facade in precise vertical lines, presenting an aesthetic design of exceptional orderliness. Geometric patterns are artfully distributed across the surface, delivering a clean, crisp, and richly layered visual effect. This composition bestows a unique artistic character to the building's exterior.

ShangKai Steel's SKA series expanded metal, widely applied in building facades, employs superior craftsmanship to precisely control mesh angles and aperture sizes. This engineering directs natural light indoors while enhancing spatial illumination quality. Furthermore, it reduces the building's absorption of radiant heat, thereby improving overall energy efficiency.

Expanded metal has become an essential design element in future architecture. Through architects' ingenuity and innovation, expanded metal is transformed into designs with unique aesthetic appeal, embodying principles of circularity and sustainability.
