1. Material selection: a balance between performance and aesthetics
The materials of steel mesh curtain wall need to take into account durability, processability and visual effects. Low-carbon steel plates are low in cost but require anti-corrosion treatment (such as galvanizing and fluorocarbon spraying), stainless steel plates are highly corrosion-resistant but expensive, and aluminum alloy plates are lightweight, high-strength and have a variety of surface treatments. Mesh parameters (aperture, opening rate) directly affect light transmittance and structural strength, and need to be adjusted according to building functions and aesthetic needs. Surface treatment (anti-corrosion coating, color texture) needs to match environmental conditions and visual style to ensure long-term stability and aesthetics.

2. Process control: collaborative guarantee of precision and safety
The process flow of steel mesh curtain wall covers in-depth design, processing and manufacturing, and on-site installation. In the in-depth design stage, BIM needs to be used to coordinate and optimize the node structure, and conduct wind pressure and deformation analysis; the processing and manufacturing stage relies on CNC stamping, bending and welding technology to ensure the accuracy of the hole position and the integrity of the structure; the on-site installation stage needs to strictly control the positioning of the keel, the fixing and sealing of the steel mesh to avoid error accumulation and safety hazards. A quality traceability system needs to be established throughout the entire process to ensure that each link meets the standards.

3. Design optimization: organic integration of function and aesthetics
The design of the steel mesh curtain wall needs to balance structural safety, visual effects and maintenance convenience. Structural safety needs to be guaranteed by wind pressure resistance and fire prevention design, visual effects need to rely on light and shadow interaction and scale ratio optimization, and maintenance convenience depends on detachable design and cleaning solutions. For example, the light transmittance of the steel mesh combined with night lighting can create dynamic light and shadow effects; by reserving maintenance channels and self-cleaning coatings, the cost of later maintenance can be reduced. Design needs to be based on function and extended by aesthetics to achieve the unity of "form follows function" and "form creates value".

4. Common problems and countermeasures
Steel mesh curtain walls are prone to material corrosion, deformation, abnormal noise, color difference pollution and other problems. Material corrosion is mostly caused by coating damage or environmental erosion, so it is necessary to use weather-resistant coatings and conduct regular inspections; deformation and abnormal noise are mostly caused by insufficient keel rigidity or loose connectors, so it is necessary to strengthen structural design and connector elasticity treatment; color difference pollution is mostly caused by differences in material batches or insufficient construction protection, so it is necessary to unify batches and set up protective measures. Preventive maintenance and rapid response mechanisms are the key to solving the problem.
