Hi all. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any materials they would recommend for the screens? It should be thin, light, white or off white and about 50% translucent. Basically it will be glued to the back of the grid. Ideally in sheets say 36” wide. (I don’t want to use glass because, amongst other things, the weight). The shoji specialty shops have traditional papers and laminated papers, but the more durable stuff gets prettty expensive ($40-$100 / door) plus with shipping to Canada etc it becomes crazy expensive…... I’ve seen a fiberglass product called “Synskin” recommended, but it seems to be out of production. I wonder if some sort of fiberglass or pvc prduct that you could get at a plastics shop might look OK, but I’ve no idea how to spec it….... Any thoughts would be appreciated. |
