Intercrimp Decorative Mesh - Cutting

Intercrimp wire meshes require care and skill to cut to size. The mesh should be laid with two edges against a square corner to keep the mesh openings symmetrical and the wires should be carefully marked with a marker. Cut wire thickness up to .062 inches with heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips.

Meshes woven from wires thicker than .062 inches will require a small bolt cutter, which is available at hardware stores. Care should be taken to make sure the wires do not skew while being marked and cut.

* the small corner wires in a piece of Intercrimp wire mesh tend to fall out when the panel is cut and this should be taken into consideration when framing this material.

Intercrimp Decorative Mesh - Look and Feel

The available colors are:

• Bright brass (this is the color of a new key). Unless protected, it will discolor over time towards a reddish, coppery color.
• Bright bronze (this is the color of a new American penny). Unless protected, it will discolor over time towards a brown/black color.
• Stainless steel (the color of stainless steel kitchen utensils) although less shiny.

In an outdoor environment, the brass and bright bronze will weather and discoloration will become pronounced as soon as six months at the seashore and over 14 years in desert conditions. This discoloration may be stopped by lacquering, waxing, or periodically oiling the mesh to protect it from atmospheric conditions.

* We cannot guarantee a uniformed, brilliant polished finish when you receive the material because it is affected by the atmosphere.
