Decorative mesh on cabinet doors turns an old-fashioned practice into a thoroughly modern look. In the 1800s, mesh or gauze was used to keep meat and other perishables cool and free of flies. These days a huge array of decorative mesh is available. Woven mesh has wires woven alternately over and under one another. Welded mesh is a grid formed of wires that are fused together where they join.
Mesh comes in mild steel, galvanized steel, brass and stainless steel. Various thicknesses can be supplied, but most companies specify minimum amounts, so be careful about costly waste. Get your cabinetmaker to order samples so you can see the pattern up close.
We offer grills called Pattern Cut Grills, traditionally they are return air grills, but many have used them for cabinet door inlays - you can see photos here:
