Marina Gate Tower 3

Marina Gate Tower 3 in Dubai features an innovative car park façade in ExpandForm Stuttgart expanded metal mesh, supplied by KAPHS. The 3 mm, 400 mm round-pattern mesh combines functionality with strong visual character.

A defining feature is the play of depth created by alternating attachment points — on one panel the mesh is welded to the interior of the frame, on the next to the exterior. This alternating rhythm introduces dimensionality across the façade, while the interplay of light and shadow accentuates the building’s architectural identity.

Expanded metal mesh at Marina Gate Tower 3

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 Marina Gate Tower 3 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, Marina Gate Tower 3 stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.
