About Shang Kai Steel's Sustainable Mission

We have always emphasized the concept of low carbon and energy efficient design. Choosing Shang Kai steel allows us to work together to create an amazing eco-friendly architectural design! Green buildings are not only environmentally friendly, but also offer significant economic benefits. With our solutions, you can save energy, reduce resource waste, and significantly lower operating and maintenance costs.


Integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the Metal Expanded Mesh
Eco-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Expanded Metal Mesh for Building Facades

Shang Kai Steel is committed to developing additional functionalities for expanded metal mesh and providing scientific data to prove its effectiveness. Through scientific validation, we play a critical role in promoting environmentally sustainable materials. Our expanded metal products have been scientifically proven to be suitable for building facades, serving as a secondary layer for building envelopes. They effectively insulate against thermal conduction through RC walls, ensuring a healthy indoor environment and preventing structural damage. In addition, this material significantly reduces indoor temperatures, reducing peak air conditioning loads and providing energy savings.

Impact on the Urban Environment

What's even more amazing is that the expanded mesh building facade can mitigate the urban heat island effect. Its unique 3D structure not only supports plant climbing, creating more green shade spaces, but also lowers temperatures through natural ventilation and heat dissipation methods, reducing carbon emissions.

Certification and Sustainable Development

Our building facade expanded mesh has received new technology certification in Taiwan, contributing positively to green building certification calculations. In addition, our products have received certification for low-carbon construction methods, in line with environmental protection and sustainable development standards.

Successful Case

In recent years, we are proud to have been involved in several environmentally conscious projects. For instance, in the Nantou, Taiwan, the "Central Taiwan Innovation Campus MOEA". This building complies with the Taiwan Green building diamond grade standard and intelligent building standard. Designed by the Bio architecture Formosana (bioarch), this building incorporates metal glass curtains and aluminum expanded metal mesh as external sunshades. This design not only ensures natural daylighting but also effectively blocks solar radiation heat based on varying sunshade requirements. Its adaptable curves and densities seamlessly integrate the natural landscape into the building and employ smart green building design techniques.

Product Life Cycle and Carbon Footprint Information
Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

At Shang Kai Steel, we adhere to ISO 14044 and ISO 14040 standards and conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for products such as expanded metal mesh at least every three years. LCA involves analyzing and evaluating the environmental impacts of a product at various stages, from raw material extraction, processing, manufacturing, transportation, use and final disposal. In essence, it covers the entire life cycle of a product from cradle to grave. Please contact us for more information on the LCA assessment of our products.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

At Shang Kai Steel we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products. We provide open information on the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). Understanding the carbon footprint at various stages of the product lifecycle, including raw material sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, use and final disposal, helps to assess the environmental impact of the product. Please contact us to access the results of our Product Carbon Footprint Assessment.
