Fratelli Mariani returned to Italy after spending a week dedicated to The Big 5 in Dubai, the largest construction event in the Middle East.

Here are some official numbers to understand the dimensions of this prestigious event:

• 68,000construction professionals in attendance
• 2,507 exhibitors from 66 countries
• 134participating countries represented

Beyond the figures, the balance of The Big 5 experience is very positive, starting from the large number of visitors, consisting of:

• architects
• engineers
• manufacturers
• consultants
• procurement technicians and experts
• contractors
• executives
• C-level leaders

These professionals coming from all over the world, especially from the Middle East and South East Asia, were very interested and impressed by the products exhibited by Fratelli Mariani.

Thanks to the visit at the stand of Fratelli Mariani, the participants could see with their eyes and touch a practical application, even if on a reduced scale, of wire meshes and expanded metal sheets. These products have in fact been used in the realization of the exhibition space of the Italian company.

Already from the outside, the stand aroused great interest from visitors with new colours, innovative processes, shown exclusively during this event, to then be launched on the world market.

In particular, among the expanded metal, the types which were most appreciated were:

• SOL XS
• Belem

These are expanded metal sheets stretched from very large meshes, which represent the perfect architectural solutions to cover very large building facades.

By the way, SOL XSis particularly suitable for external applications, such as curtain walls, solar shading, ventilated facades, thanks to the fluid design and the materiality of the great mesh, and to its performance in reduction and control of solar intake.
