Five Reasons to Choose Shang Kai Steel’s SKA Expanded Metal Mesh for Building Facades. 1. High-Quality Materials and Precision Low-Error Manufacturing: Shang Kai Steel’s SKA expanded metal mesh uses high-quality raw materials from CSC. Aluminum facades tested in real conditions have a lifecycle of up to 60 years, capable of withstanding Taiwan’s harsh climate with frequent typhoons and earthquakes, making it a strong and durable material. The precision low-error manufacturing ensures that each metal mesh panel matches the design size, allowing fast and accurate installation without additional modification, saving time and labor on-site.

2. Effective Improvement of Building Insulation and Energy Saving: At the National Experimental High School at Central Taiwan Science Park, where high temperatures and strong sunlight are common in summer, building insulation and energy efficiency were key concerns. The architects chose Shang Kai Steel’s SKA expanded metal mesh for stairways and corridors. After evaluating sunlight conditions, Shang Kai Steel’s engineers calculated the best mesh angles and openings to block solar heat while maintaining natural lighting and ventilation, keeping indoor spaces cool and comfortable — critical for a good learning environment.

3. Flexible Visual Design for Any Architectural Concept: In this project, SKA expanded metal mesh was customized with two processes: powder coating and cutting. The color scheme included natural earth tones and clean white finishes. The mesh was cut into irregular four-sided shapes and framed for assembly. Whatever the architectural design — regular or gradient mesh openings, specific colors, cutting styles, or facade layout — Shang Kai Steel can work with clients to achieve the desired visual effect using expanded metal mesh. 4. Complete Carbon Footprint Analysis: Easy for ESG Procurement and Government Projects: Shang Kai Steel’s SKA expanded metal mesh has completed full lifecycle carbon footprint tracking, from raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, installation, to end-of-life recycling. For architects and developers, choosing Shang Kai Steel’s metal mesh not only makes it easier to pass Green Building Label certification but also supports ESG procurement, government tenders, and subsidy applications, with clear and verifiable CO₂ emission data at every stage.

5. Two Green Certifications to Support Green Building Labels: Shang Kai Steel’s exterior sunshade system using expanded metal mesh has obtained two major certifications: New Green Building Technology Certification from the Taiwan Architecture & Building Center & Low Carbon Construction Certification from the Low Carbon Building Alliance. The New Technology Certification tested 24 types of expanded metal mesh to ensure they meet daily energy-saving standards for building envelopes, proving SKA expanded metal can effectively improve building insulation, lower indoor temperatures, and reduce air-conditioning energy use. The Low Carbon Certification showed that installing SKA metal mesh for east-west sunshades on a 12-story office building can reduce carbon emissions by up to 8.8%, depending on the model, with an expected lifespan of over 60 years. Both certifications come from government-recognized institutions. Choosing Shang Kai Steel’s SKA expanded metal mesh gives you strong third-party scientific validation, helping your projects easily apply for Green Building Labels and comply with government regulations with clear, quantifiable data.
