Wire mesh bridge cladding: the European Parliament in Brussels

European Parliament

Stainless steel mesh from GKD shines as sweeping bridge cladding in the heart of Europe.

The bridge connects the parliament buildings at the second floor while also granting access to the Place de Luxembourg.
Sambesi 4100 metal mesh, shimmering in gold in the sunlight, clads the footbridge.

The bridge connects the parliament buildings at the second floor while also granting access to the Place de Luxembourg.

The wire mesh elements, measuring 4 m high and 2 m wide, are fixed in front of the glass façade of the bridge construction by means of round bars and eyebolts integrated into the mesh. The mesh elements offer privacy from outside while allowing unhindered views of the outside surroundings, as well as ensuring the safety of bridge users.
