The new Interlock development in Atlanta is described by the property developer SJC Ventures as ‘transformative mixed use’. With a focus on urban living and connecting with Atlanta’s booming West Midtown, it features apartments, retail, office space and a myriad of hospitality and community focused options.
Kaynemaile™ mesh prevents up to 70% of visible and infrared light waves from impacting on the building surface, providing an alternative route to solar gain protection for parking garages such as The Interlock.
This 800-space parking garage features almost 10,000 square feet of Kaynemaile mesh screens across the facade.
Without the restrictions of a ‘panel size’, we were able to cover the facade using just seven screens, the largest of which spanned four floors high in a single piece. The large screens give a seamless aesthetic to the facade design and require fewer subframes than traditional panel-sized products, allowing a faster installation schedule.
Kaynemaile mesh also helps with natural ventilation in the garage, facilitating code-compliant free air movement through the almost 80% open mesh area. This is thanks to the three-dimensional structure of the mesh with its low restricted cross-sectional area.
“We are super excited to have this great Kaynemaile application installed in our backyard and to be associated with The Interlock project,” said W.S. Nielsen’s Ian Strickland.
