Silicon Central Mall

Lulu Silicon Central Mall in Silicon Oasis, Dubai, is a major retail and lifestyle destination. Its contemporary architecture is defined by ExpandForm Singen expanded metal mesh — a 3 mm, 150 mm hexagonal pattern supplied by KAPHS — wrapping the entire façade on a frameless bracket fixing system.

The mesh delivers a sleek, seamless skin that improves ventilation and softly diffuses daylight, while the frameless system keeps the surface clean and uninterrupted, aligning with the mall’s cutting-edge aesthetic.

Expanded metal mesh at Silicon Central Mall

Produced in a wide choice of patterns and finishes, the mesh is lightweight yet rigid, providing shading, ventilation and a striking three-dimensional surface for façades and car-park screening.

As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the ExpandForm range — expanded metal mesh that delivers a bold, weather-resistant skin with excellent ventilation and shading performance. Sourced through the ExpandForm range, the mesh at Silicon Central Mall was engineered to perform in the region’s demanding climate while elevating the building’s identity.

For architects, developers and contractors across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, this project shows how expanded metal mesh can transform a landmark scheme — balancing aesthetics, daylight, privacy and durability in equal measure. Every panel was selected, engineered and delivered to exacting tolerances, and backed by KAPHS’s regional expertise the result is a surface that looks exceptional on day one and keeps performing for decades in the Middle East climate. As one of the region’s most recognisable installations of its kind, Silicon Central Mall stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.
