Hanging System
Our systems are simple—screw the supplied hooks into your ceiling substrate and hook the hanging tube over the hooks. Large screens are supplied with lifting cord to help you install. Let us know what your ceiling substrate is and we will supply the correct screws.
To create a semi-rigid screen our hanging screens can be fixed to the floor as well as the ceiling utilising a stainless steel tube and hook system.
Kaynemaile standard interior screens are not suitable for balustrade or safety from falling applications. Contact us for more information.

How to order your screens
New construction
To order for a new construction project just let us know the specified width, height and colour. We can supply your screens slightly oversize in height to allow for any ceiling height variations during the construction period. Hanging screens can easily be trimmed down in height once on site to suit the actual built space. The installed height for the screens should sit just above the finished floor level.
Existing spaces
To order for an existing space just let us know your required width and the actual floor to ceiling dimensions of your space. We will make allowance for our fixtures in the finished height.

RE/8 Architectural Mesh by Kaynemaile is a patented, world-leading innovation. We think the benefits of the product are extraordinary.
Lightweight
Stronger and lighter than glass. It weighs 3kg per m2 making it a perfect choice where a low static load on buildings is required. Plus our light weight makes handling on site easy.
Fire Resistant
Our mesh has an ASTM E-84 Class A rating for flame spread & smoke density. We use FR-V0 material that is rated self-extinguishing.
For more information, see our fire rating information here.
Cost effective
RE/8 mesh goes up fast, cutting down the install time dramatically and saving costs. Our systems are simple and our light weight means we don’t need the same level of fixings as metal products. This means our installed rate is more cost effective than other metal products or glass panels.
10 Year Warranty
Kaynemaile products have a 10 year standard warranty. RE/8 mesh is UV stabilised using inorganic colours for long term stability and full recyclability.
