The use of wire mesh in the handrails at Superior High School is a striking example of how functional design can also be aesthetically pleasing. The wire mesh provides a modern, industrial look that complements the school’s contemporary architecture. Its sleek, open design allows for visibility and light to pass through, creating a sense of openness and space within the building. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to a safer environment by improving sightlines and reducing potential blind spots.

Throughout the new three-story academic building, Banker Wire’s M13Z-7 framed in Banker’s Versatile Spine is used as railing infill panels. Both M13Z-7 and the Versatile Spine framing were manufactured in Stainless Steel.  M13Z-7 is a rigid cable and intercrimp hybrid wire mesh pattern that maximizes the percent open area by using a set of 3 intercrimp fill wires. The large percent open area and sleek look allows the infill panels to blend with the modern aesthetic of the surrounding building while adding a unique texture. Banker’s Versatile Spine framing is a modern framing style using a three-layer laminate system to capture the wire mesh. Versatile Spine is highly customizable in scale and shape and the laser cut design offers many options.

Beyond its visual appeal, the wire mesh in the handrails serves a practical purpose. It is incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for a high-traffic area like a school. The mesh is designed to withstand the daily rigors of student movement, ensuring that the handrails remain sturdy and reliable over time. Additionally, the material is easy to clean and maintain, which is crucial in a school setting where hygiene is a top priority.

Moreover, the wire mesh handrails at Superior High School reflect a commitment to sustainability. The mesh is often made from recycled materials, aligning with eco-friendly building practices. Its long lifespan means that it won’t need to be replaced frequently, reducing waste and the need for additional resources. This thoughtful integration of design, functionality, and sustainability showcases how modern architectural elements can enhance both the form and function of educational spaces.
