Semi-Transparent & Light-Permeable

Decorative mesh comes in a medley of weave styles and opening sizes with varying levels of transparency. Some allow you to see the contents of the cabinets without opening them, and most are light-permeable, meaning illumination can pass through. With this in mind, you can install battery-powered puck lights or strips inside the frames to enhance your existing lighting with an upscale appeal.

DIY-Friendly

Metal mesh is generally easy to work with, making it a top choice for do-it-yourself home upgrades. It can be cut to size with tin snips or heavy-duty scissors. Once the existing façades are removed from your cabinet doors, attaching the mesh with glue or industrial staples is a relatively simple process.

Choosing the Best Metal Mesh for Cabinet Doors

Since cabinets are located inside the home, you won't have to worry about weather damage and other outdoor factors, which gives you more design choices. When browsing options, you'll want to consider the metal alloy, finish, wire size and shape, and weave style.

Metal Alloy & Finish

TWP Inc. supplies decorative mesh in various metals, including brass, bronze, nickel, and stainless steel.

• Brass is a strong, heat-resistant copper-zinc alloy. It's available in a pure (true-to-color) form or with a warm, darkened antique finish.
• Bronze is a copper-tin alloy that's slightly stronger than brass with a darker brownish-yellow hue. You can buy it in pure form or with a reddish-black antique finish.
• Nickel is a pure metal with a somewhat deep gray tone. The unfinished material is similar to chrome in appearance. It's also available in a darker tarnished finish.
• Stainless steel is an iron-chromium alloy with exceptional durability and rust resistance. It comes in a simple mill finish or plated with a hand-rubbed, blackened hue.

The choice is ultimately a matter of preference. However, you might consider getting wire mesh in a similar color or finish as other fixtures in the space, such as your faucet, door knobs, and drawer pulls.
