The AliMesh Aluminium frame panels, finished in 19mm Square frame with clear anodised mesh has been used to create an innovative illuminated reception counter, for Mitchell Laminates head office.
The design uses four, 1200 x 1000mm, AliMesh panels, supplied by Mitchell Laminates, sister company of Mitchell Plastics , which create an ideal semi translucent-wire effect.
Each panel consists of two inserts; a top sheet of clear anodised mesh, which is supported by a bottom sheet of Perspex Frost Polar White. This customised, two insert solution, was used to not only give added impact resistance to the mesh, but also required to allow for back lighting.
As the panels were back lit, careful consideration was given to the fixing method. It was important that each panel could be removed easily for routine maintenance. As AliMesh panels are light weight it was possible to fit each panel using Velcro, which eliminated the need for any visible fixing systems.
