	Complex woven metal fabrics have been crafted by Cambridge Architectural since our founding in 1917. As architects and designers have increasingly sought out our products, we have responded with an exquisite collection backed by the technical resources for their installation.
	Translucency, opacity, reflectivity and materiality are among the qualities of our diverse woven metal fabric constructions and textures that are available in stainless steel and other alloys. These features are particularly applicable to the facade of the building envelope: assisting in climate control as an exterior or interior sunscreen; installed as a compositional element that provides translucency and reflectivity; and, in the case of rehabilitation, as a cost-effective, unifying "skin" for older buildings.
	Cambridge Architectural has developed proprietary systems for installing flexible meshes in tension on building facades and interiors. With a full inventory of woven metal products, a full line manufacturing facility and fabrication shop, and a team of product specialists, we look forward to working with you to provide products and installation systems that meet all of your project requirements, from aesthetics to engineering.
