The Western Group delivers six basic classes of products within which lie amazing design possibilities: woven wire, welded wire, perforated plate, expanded metal, living screen, and cladding systems.

These products can make contributions to the health, safety and general welfare of those occupying spaces where these products are utilized. They allow for the free flow of air and light through a space which reduces the need for daytime electric lighting as well as air circulating systems.

When used in parking structures or for stair enclosures, a TWG architectural system serves security needs while allowing visibility. Fine mesh is also used to hide unsightly mechanical systems while allowing the airflow those systems demand.

TWG architectural systems also greatly enhance the appearance of any structure by drawing attention to the façade while providing shading from the sun’s harsh rays. This same façade can come alive at night through creative lighting that can dramatically alter the look of the building.

The Living Screen

Living Screen offers designers a flexible option for a building cladding (for parking garages, building elevations, or any sort of beautification project) or for a stand-alone system (for fencing or free-standing barrier system) that will promote vine growth to become a natural green cladding. Our custom capabilities will help make your design vision a reality.

Rail Fill

TWG provides multiple rail-fill options to designers of houses, stadium projects, parking structures, and office projects around the country. While the basic idea is similar, the execution is often different in its opening, shaping, and finishing of the fill.

Space Mesh
TWG’s space mesh is the ultimate "boundaries without barriers" material. Light, sound, and heating and cooling all flow freely through its high-tech appearance. Partition space within a structure, enhance interior and exterior surfaces, create signage backdrops, or enclose a staircase. Your choice of metals includes stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and exotics such as gold and platinum.

Texture Mesh
TWG’s texture mesh products shape, accentuate, and distinguish interior building features. Texture mesh enhances a room by allowing viewing of an entire structural space while it serves as a decorative separator or façade. Custom lighting is often projected onto the textured surface in order to create refracted ambient effects.

Sun Screens
Woven wire sun screens offer a far more refined look than traditional louvers, metal sunshades, or fabric awnings. TWG’s sun screens have been installed in overhead horizontal situations, vertically in front of glass wall systems, and in canopy applications. Woven wire is also lower-maintenance than other sunscreens and minimizes dust and dirt accumulation.

Security Screens
TWG takes pride in our consistent manufacturing process as well as the range of weaves we offer. These factors have built our reputation as the first choice for security applications: from jail and detention centers to secured entrance areas in commercial settings, you can count on us to help design, engineer, and manufacture a product to your exact specifications.

Custom Fabricated Products
Our products have found uses beyond architectural applications in the production of artwork, high-end furniture, and other home accessories.
