The Mesh Behind Modernity

Introduction: Architectural design and steel fabrication are discovering a new ally in this lightweight yet robust material, as mesh products evolve from functional to aspirational. In this edition of Steel Briefcase, SSMB explores the transformative potential of wire mesh through the lenses of two industry frontrunners – Surana Wires Pvt Ltd and Evershine Dynamic Corporation Ltd.

From façades to formwork, wire mesh is gaining ground as a versatile solution in modern construction. Through high-performance applications, custom-engineered solutions, and design integration with steel systems, mesh is making a quiet, confident revolution.

STEEL, REIMAGINED IN MESH

Once perceived as a humble grid of intersecting wires, steel mesh is today an emblem of flexibility, strength, and visual ingenuity in modern construction. From bullet train tunnels to high-end urban villas, wire mesh has quietly woven itself into India’s evolving architectural landscape, not just as reinforcement, but as a statement.

MESH AS A DESIGN ELEMENT

“We have seen the evolution firsthand,” shares Pranay Surana, Owner of Surana Wires Pvt Ltd, whose company has been shaping the Indian mesh market for over three decades. “From simple applications like tree guards and window grills, mesh has expanded into architectural gabions, colour-coated fencing, insulation supports, and even automated storage systems.”

Kunal Bhatia, Director at Evershine Dynamic, echoes this transformation. “Walk into any modern co-working space or urban café today, you will likely see mesh elements embedded in the furniture, partitions, or façades. There is a new design vocabulary emerging, and mesh is at its core.”

Whether it’s a gabion wall in a Chennai villa or privacy trellis fencing in a premium Bangalore township, the visual potential of mesh is now as critical as its structural capacity.

“Steel buildings and wire mesh are a match made in heaven.”

WHERE MESH MEETS VISION

Some of the most telling stories of mesh come from projects that blur the line between function and finesse.

From Surana Wires:

• Bullet Train BKC Station, Mumbai – Reinforcement mesh for tunnel stabilisation under challenging geotechnical conditions.
• Ahmedabad Airport – Custom partition mesh for arrival corridors, blending aesthetics with crowd control.
• SAFRAN, Hyderabad Airport – Colour-coated architectural fencing for a global aerospace leader.
• Data Centers (Microsoft & Adani) – High-security internal and external mesh enclosures, tailored for operational resilience.

From Evershine Dynamic:

• Prestige Lakefront, Bangalore – Trellis Mesh fencing that adds elegance while ensuring privacy in a luxury community setting.
• Villa Project, Chennai – Welded Gabion wall that doubles as a retaining structure and landscape design feature.

“These projects are not just about enclosing spaces,” Kunal remarks. “They are about articulating design, defining boundaries, and delivering durability.”

“Sustainability is about reducing the need for replacement.”

CUSTOMISING THE MESH

Wire mesh is not an off-the-shelf product anymore, it is a bespoke material solution. “Each project has a personality of its own,” Pranay explains. “That is why we work closely with EPC teams, architects, and consultants to tailor every mesh dimension, finish, and form.”

Surana Wires now offers powder-coated meshes in a wide range of colours, helping designers stay true to their architectural palette. Meanwhile, Evershine has built an in-house team of 40+ fencing specialists who execute turnkey installations, ensuring the mesh performs just as well on-site as it does on paper.

“We are among the very few who offer complete end-to-end mesh solutions like design, manufacture, and install,” Kunal notes.

“Mesh is steel’s most silent strength, woven into everything, yet rarely seen.”

STEEL AND MESH RELATIONSHIP

Mesh is inherently compatible with steel-intensive construction. As Pranay puts it, “Steel buildings and wire mesh are a match made in heaven.”

Here’s why:

• Faster Deck Casting: Mesh in deck reinforcement allows steel buildings to be constructed up to 2X faster.
• Insulation & Ventilation: Mesh supports insulation blankets and prevents bird entry in ventilators.
• Safety Features: Mesh guards, light diffusers, and fall protection screens are increasingly integrated into industrial roofs.
• Aesthetic Panels: Especially in façades, mesh becomes a lightweight cladding that permits airflow, visibility, and visual texture.

“Expanded metal meshes are trending,” says Kunal, “especially for all-weather façades that demand both elegance and endurance.”

INNOVATION IN PRODUCTION & PROJECT DELIVERY

To meet rising demand and precision, both companies are evolving their production infrastructure.

Surana Wires is investing in high-speed welding machinery and semi-automated quality control systems to meet tight turnaround times. “With steel buildings, time is the most precious commodity,” Pranay reflects. “We are building for speed and scale.”

Evershine Dynamic is turning to project management tools and automation technologies to reduce installation errors and streamline coordination across teams. “We are aiming for a zero-defect, zero-delay model,” Kunal asserts.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MESH EQUATION

Both companies are strongly aligned with India’s green construction shift. Steel itself is the world’s most recycled material, and mesh, with its low-weight and high-strength characteristics, is an efficient use of that material.

Surana Wires ensures all mesh products are 100 per cent recyclable, contributing to the circular economy. Evershine focuses on long-lifespan products that reduce the need for maintenance or replacement, thereby lowering the embedded carbon footprint of their projects.

THE UNSEEN HERO

In the hierarchy of steel building components, wire mesh might seem minor. But dig a little deeper, and you will find it’s integral, reinforcing decks, shaping skylines, shielding machines, and whispering design cues in the language of light and lines.

Mesh is no longer just a background player. It is the quiet enabler of form, function, and finesse.

EDITOR’S NOTE

In an era where architectural form is as critical as structural function, materials like wire mesh undergo a fascinating evolution from humble reinforcement to elevated design element. This story explores how mesh has quietly, yet decisively, become a material of choice across projects that demand agility, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Through the dual perspectives of Surana Wires and Evershine Dynamic Corporation, this feature reveals the expanding canvas of mesh from privacy fences that don’t compromise on elegance, to high-performance reinforcements in marquee infrastructure projects. Their stories highlight not just the adaptability of mesh, but also the industry’s readiness to embrace hybrid solutions that blend visual appeal with structural rigor.

“We have been in the Steel Wire manufacturing business for over five decades now and have learnt to constantly adapt with changing times.”
