Mercedes-Benz Ezz Elarab Star

The Mercedes-Benz Ezz Al Arab Star showroom in Giza, Egypt, uses ExpandForm Frankfurt expanded metal mesh, supplied by KAPHS, as a double skin to its curtain wall. The 100 mm diamond pattern creates a dynamic, geometric façade that reinforces the luxury Mercedes-Benz identity.

Beyond its visual role, the mesh acts as a secondary skin that improves thermal performance and reduces solar heat gain, contributing to the energy efficiency of the showroom in Egypt’s climate.

Expanded metal mesh at Mercedes-Benz Ezz Elarab Star

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 Mercedes-Benz Ezz Elarab Star 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, Mercedes-Benz Ezz Elarab Star 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.
