Architectural & structural

The backbone behind iconic structures — from suspension bridges and cable roofs to balustrades, tensile art and sculpture. Strong, flexible and, in stainless, as good to look at as it is to load.

What architects & fabricators order

When the wire is on show, stainless is the default — AISI 316 stays bright for decades. For taut runs, 1×19 barely stretches; where it has to flex, 7×7 gives a little.

WHERE IT’S SEEN, IT’S JUDGED

Structural strength, visible finish

On an architectural run the wire is doing two jobs — holding a real load and being looked at every day. Marine-grade AISI 316 stays bright for decades, and clean swaged terminals keep the detail as sharp as the design intended. Load-rated assemblies leave proof loaded and certified where the application demands it.
