The outdoor feature wall next to the entrance of the Kaohsiung City Library's Ciaoyah Branch showcases a clever fusion of expanded metal and concrete façade, creating a striking visual contrast. The details and arrangement of the expanded metal add a modern touch to the building, enhancing the overall aesthetic level and becoming a unique feature of this public space.

The diverse apertures and flexible structural arrangement of expanded metal allow it to adapt to various design needs, whether as a decorative element on façades or a functional sunshading device. Expanded metal thus becomes not only a building material but also a design language that showcases innovation and aesthetic appeal.

By using ShangKai Steel's independently developed framing design, the assembly process becomes more convenient and efficient, enhancing the precision of mesh arrangement. This improves overall project quality, reduces installation time, and ensures the structural stability and long-term durability of the expanded metal, making it the ideal choice that balances both efficiency and quality.

The intricate structure and elegant design of the metal expanded wall make it visually unforgettable, giving the space a transparent aesthetic. It allows everyone to experience its charm and artistic ambiance, creating a lasting impression.
