Named for the Choptank River which surrounds GKD Metal Fabric’s headquarters on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, this new rigid metal fabric design offers a fresh take on a dimensional square weave pattern but with a smaller open area. When used as a sunshading material, this smaller open area controls the amount of natural light that can reach the interior of the building and therefore positively impact energy costs and building occupant comfort by limiting solar heat gain. GKD manufactures this and other high-quality woven metal fabrics using AISI Type 316 stainless steel.

Notes

Unveiling an array of new patterns and an expansion of enhanced collections, GKD Metal Fabrics continues to set the pace as the most advanced technical weaving mill for metal fabrics in the United States and beyond. One of the largest new product launches in the company’s recent history, the new weave patterns will provide architects and designers with countless options for interior and exterior product specification needs, from cost-effective aluminum and specialty interiors to facades and sunshading.

In 1925, a group of innovative German engineers created what would later become the most advanced technical weaving mill of metal fabrics for filtration and industrial use. As the company grew, the world’s most functional and visually engaging material architects and designers would ever have the opportunity to specify evolved -- metal fabric. To this day, GKD continues to revolutionize how architectural structures are enhanced aesthetically, augmented functionally and optimized economically.

Our industry expertise and involvement extends to the many associations and groups we serve.
