Designing Data Centres
With the growing demand for data storage, data centres are being rapidly developed worldwide. Amazon alone is investing £8 billion in the UK over four years to build, operate, and maintain these critical facilities.
These centres are being constructed in a variety of locations, from bustling cities to the quiet of the countryside, so it is important when designing that this is taken into consideration. Biophilic design is commonly used in rural areas as a sustainable choice that complements the surroundings.
We recognise the vital role these centres play and the importance of building robust, secure buildings to protect valuable data. Our range of high-quality materials and systems is ideal for data centre construction to ensure durability, security, and longevity.
Metal and Mesh for Data Centre Construction
Metal mesh is a popular material choice for interior design, architecture and construction because it is secure, durable and energy efficient.
As security is crucial, metal mesh is the ideal choice, as not only is it robust and secure and improves the visual appearance. It is also energy efficient, which helps save money on much-needed cooling costs to prevent the buildings from overheating.
With data centres being the future, it makes sense to offer your customers long-lasting, sustainable materials such as our perforated metal and expanded mesh. Whether you’re designing fencing systems, soffits or internal walls, the longevity of materials is an important consideration.
Our mesh and metal are constructed out of high-quality, strong metal that can withstand weather conditions, the test of time and corrosion.

Inside the Data Centre
When designing a data centre, it is essential to consider all key areas, not just the IT infrastructure. Important areas to consider include office spaces, the external façade, and plant cladding.
Whilst these buildings are a relatively new concept, our metal specialists are experts in designing ceilings, facades and cladding! We can help you create components that ensure data centres are sleek and sophisticated without compromising on security and safety.
Incorporating Mesh and Metal
Metal and mesh can be used in endless applications within data centres, from office ceilings to IT equipment cages to fencing systems. The chosen materials for these applications can be customised to meet your client’s requirements.
Our most popular data centre solutions include:
Mesh Cages constructed from woven wire mesh are standard in most data centres, but they don’t have to look or feel standard. Woven mesh offers strength, visibility and ventilation to help cool the equipment within the cage.
Facades can be designed with mesh or metal. Expanded mesh is one of our most sought-after material choices for facades, as it provides excellent airflow, transparency and design.
Fencing Systems are an essential component in a data centre, but they don’t have to be dull! Metal mesh is the perfect material as it’s versatile, robust and can be finished with powder coating to blend with the building or stand out.
Ceilings are a popular choice, as our metal grid systems can be constructed from a variety of metals and can be customised with colours and finishes. Our ceilings can be made bespoke, no matter the colour palette, customer requirements or size of the space.
Plant Cladding is another fundamental element, due to the plant machinery required to run the data centre and it needs protecting. Our metal and mesh solutions are strong, durable and can withstand weather, making them the ideal choice to protect important machinery.
