DIFC Gate Avenue

The DIFC car park in Dubai features a bold external wall cladding in ExpandForm Sinsheim expanded metal mesh, supplied by KAPHS. The 3 mm, 200 mm round-pattern mesh was chosen for its combination of aesthetic impact, durability and functional performance.

The large rounded apertures create a striking, contemporary façade that adds texture and depth to the car park while standing out in the urban landscape. Robust and weather-resistant, the expanded metal mesh withstands wind, rain and sun for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Expanded metal mesh at DIFC Gate Avenue

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 DIFC Gate Avenue 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, DIFC Gate Avenue stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.

KAPHS is the Middle East’s specialist supplier of architectural mesh, glass and steel, trusted on landmark projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait.
