Lace Fencing - The Future Of Chain Link?
Posted by Duncan Page on Sat, Jan 30, 2010
A new type of fencing has been introduced by the Demakersvan design studio in Holland. Called Lace Fence, it is a combination of chain link fabric and the art of lace making.
The design possibilities - from floral themes to contemporary patterns and designs - are infinite. With this opportunity to customize each job, every lace fence is unique. Chain link fencing, a basic functional fence, can become a decorative and attractive work of art.
Lace Fence can be woven from both 11 and 12-1/2 gauge wires, either galvanized or vinyl coated. The wire mesh is securely clamped to a tubular frame.
There are many different types of locations - both interior and exterior - where Lace Fence is currently in use, including but not limited to:
- barrier fences in parks and other public areas
- interior partitions in banks, restaurants, hotels and gyms
- railing safety mesh on stairways and decks
- decorative panels on the facades of commercial buildings
- safety fences on apartment buildings
- museum displays

Do you think it is attractive?
Is it more appropriate for use in a public setting rather than around a residence?
