In the universe of architectural

materials, there are but a handful

that consistently elevate design

Undoubtedly, Fabricoil is

one such material.

Welcome to Cascade Architectural, your

source for the building material that’s

transforming architectural design, inside and

out – Fabricoil. Crafted from interlocking

strands of coiled wire to form sheets of

flexible metal fabric, Fabricoil is simple in

its manufacture, yet shines brilliantly in

its abundantly diverse applications. This

brochure includes many fine examples

of what ambitious and uncompromising

design professionals achieve when their

imaginations are unleashed with Fabricoil.

Whether protecting from falls, maintaining

cooler and more comfortable spaces, or

merely defining spaces, architects and

designers quickly discover that Fabricoil is

not only up to the task, but does it with far

more flair and intrigue. Best of all, Fabricoil’s

quality and price point provide value

unmatched by traditional woven metal mesh

with which it is often compared. This makes

Fabricoil perfect for any project – even those

with modest budgets. So go ahead. Dive

in to the world of fabulous and affordable

Fabricoil today and let Cascade Architectural

help you express your creative vision.

Efficient

functions in myriad applications – both

exterior and interior. Howerver, a major

advantage Fabricoil has over mesh is its

affordability, due to its efficient design and

speedy manufacturing process. All Fabricoil

weaves share the same fundamental

geometry created by interlocking individual

strands of spiraled wire. What varies widely is

Fabricoil’s scale. The scale you select impacts

the material’s percentage of open area (from

40 to 85%), textured appearance, thickness

(from 3/32” to 5/8”), and ultimate strength.

Fabricoil architectural systems

creatively and affordably serve

numerous functions in both exterior

and interior options.

The functions of Fabricoil are limited only by

the ingenuity and imagination of architects

and designers working in collaboration

with Cascade Architectural. In fact, every

Fabricoil material choice, design option,

and attachment system offered today, is

credited to a visionary architect or designer

who saw new functional potential reflected

“ The design objective was to create

a hall that engages the entire

community. An art installation

features colored lights that are

choreographed and projected

onto a series of sheer metal

curtains, or scrims, to literally

draw the art out of the building.”

Seattle Opera

A soaring two-story tall Fabricoil

system transforms the front entrance

to this iconic Seattle opera house.

Suspended vertically with stainless

cable, the series of Fabricoil scrims

provide patron-pleasing shade during

sunny days. Then at night, as the

stars come out, the same panels

come alive with ever shifting colored

light. An unforgettable signature

look for a 21st century music hall,

compliments of Fabricoil.

Fabricoil is the uncommon material

of choice for many common exterior

applications. Fabricoil exterior systems

feature robust corrosion resistant materials

and finishes, along with attachment

hardware engineered to withstand the

environmental loads they’ll encounter.

Explore the proven applications for

Fabricoil today, or dream up your own.

Fabricoil transforms otherwise ordinary

exterior building elements - a shade,

an awning, a screen or security gate –

into a standout feature of a design.

Quenching A Red-Hot Desert Sun

A shimmering, multi-panel Fabricoil

system adds intricate texture and

passive solar shading to the Albert

Armendariz, Sr. United States

Courthouse. Held in tension like an

ancient scroll over a great expanse

of glass curtainwall, each panel

contributes to modern-day energy-

saving standards by reflecting and

filtering sunlight to reduce solar

heat gain. In fact, third-party

energy simulation testing proves

that exterior Fabricoil solar shading

systems like this can reduce building

energy consumption up to 21.3%.

(Contact Cascade Architectural for

the complete report.) For ultimate

solar performance and style, the

verdict is in: Fabricoil.

“ It hangs like fabric and has a

very distinctive three-dimensional

aspect that you really cannot get

with other woven meshes,” Fehlau

says, “This allows you to suspend

it from the top with a very simple

detail and just let it drape, as

compared to other meshes that

need additional support to keep

them in plane. There really isn’t

anything else like it.”

A space-dividing Fabricoil system

adds perfect polish and dashes of

glamour throughout TwoRuba’s

sophisticated interior. It starts at

the bar and lounge’s “storefront”

window, where Fabricoil panels

serve as the backdrop for TwoRuba

signage. Inside the lounge space

itself, hanging Fabricoil panels

distinctively divide space without

disrupting flow – something ordinary

walls or partitions could never do.

Segmented areas offer tempting

views out and a little mystery

in-between. From the front door

to the back bar, Fabricoil brings

good cheer.

When you enter the 10,000-square-

foot Microsoft Visitor Center, it feels

like a theater of possibilities – or as

the project architect, SkB Architects,

explains it, “Microsoft aimed to

create a public space that would

illuminate the humanity behind their

technology.” Hands-on exhibits of

technologies for home and business

is one of many features for visitors

to enjoy – and the Center can

be used as a gathering space for

company events.

Upon arrival, visitors are directed

towards a large, suspended orb

into the interactive space. A fluidity

and sense of “movement” is

subtly suggested by the curvilinear

Fabricoil system that gently defines

space and provides an illuminating

surface for ambient light – a

combined effect that itself says,

“Welcome.”

A continuous angle and rod support affixed with exposed eyebolts and hardware. A tensioned cable secures and bookends the Fabricoil panel to maintain the appropriate rigidity.

A slotted rectangular tube supports the top and bottom of the Fabricoil panel, coupled with a cover plate on the front-facing beams. Inside, the Fabricoil panel wraps around a steel rod, holding the panel in tension.

A top support tube, straight or curved, supports the Fabricoil panel. Panels are secured to the tubes using bolted plates, effectively “sandwiching” the Fabricoil within.

An aluminum flanged channel at the top and bottom secures the horizontal oriented Fabricoil panel.

Framed Fabricoil panels on four sides with welded angles. The front-facing side of the framing is flat while the back-facing side is flanged inward and secured with bolts.

Takes advantage of an existing beam structure to which it is attached. A continuous steel angle is thru-bolted at the top and bottom of the Fabricoil panel to hold it in place.

Featuring a curvable aluminum I-Beam track, the pleated or taut Fabricoil panel glides freely during operation using exposed nylon-wheeled carriers.

Three options to achieve uninterrupted, angular junctures for Fabricoil panels: a steel angle frame with capture pins; a steel round tube with coil wraps; or a steel square tube with capture hooks.

A curvable aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel channel uses thru-bolts top and bottom to secure the rigid Fabricoil panel.

A slotted stainless steel round tube, of varying diameters, on the top and bottom with end caps. The Fabricoil panel is wrapped around a horizontal stainless steel rod, holding the panel in tension.

A horizontal tube with continuous thru-bolted plates on the top and bottom. The plates hold Fabricoil panels so that their fullness is exact and consistent.

Featuring stainless steel slotted tubes with spring-assisted brackets, the Fabricoil panel maintains constant tension over long spans.
