THE PROJECT
A diamond mesh ceiling for a school in Luoyang
The ceiling project at Fengli Central Primary School (洛阳市丰李中心小学) uses aluminum expanded mesh as the visible ceiling and soffit surface. The site photographs show framed mesh panels along glazed corridors and ceiling sections during installation.
The diamond pattern creates an open visual layer below the structure. Panel borders, joints and the direction of the diamonds contribute to the appearance across adjoining ceiling sections. The photographs show work in progress rather than a final completion inspection.
Material and surface finish
The specified base material is 5000-series aluminum sheet with a spray-coated finish. The exact alloy grade and coating chemistry are not specified in this case study. For a similar order, confirm these details, the color and the intended exposure conditions before production.
Specification coordination and installation
The design institute and client jointly agreed the mesh specification. The ceiling uses suspended support framing with hanger rods. YueChu Metal supplied the mesh panels and perimeter frames; this supply scope does not include the supporting framing or hanger rods.
How to read the 40 × 100 mm mesh specification
For this project, SWD is 40 mm and LWD is 100 mm. SWD denotes the short way of the diamond; LWD denotes the long way. Keep this order explicit on drawings and inquiries. The 2 mm dimension is the base sheet thickness, while the 10 mm dimension is the strand width.
Confirm the measurement reference points against the project drawing. Refer to the expanded metal measurement guide before comparing specifications.
Project scale and cost reference
The reported project area is 30,000 m², with an approximate project cost of RMB 4 million. These figures describe this project. The cost breakdown is not provided, so the total should not be used as a mesh unit price or a quotation for another installation.
