This Kent Design 286 S panel is a decorative metal grille finished in Antique Brass, built around a flat-wire construction and a 3/8 inch square mesh pattern.
The difference between flat wire and round wire is visible from across a room. Round wire catches a single line of light along its crown and gives a grille a soft, woven quality. Flat wire presents a face rather than a curve, so each strand reads as a ribbon and the intersections produce crisp right-angle corners. At 3/8 inch the openings on this panel are compact enough that the wire face is a significant part of what the eye sees, and the flat section makes the most of that proportion: the grid appears more architectural and more deliberate than the same mesh would look in round wire.
Antique Brass is a warm, darkened finish that concentrates the aging in the recesses and lets the raised surfaces carry the highlight. On a round wire the highlight is a narrow line along the crown. On a flat wire it sits across the full face of each strand, which makes the antiqued contrast broader and more visible at a distance. The result is a panel that reads warm and traditional without being heavy, and that holds its character in both strong and subdued lighting conditions.
This grille is a natural fit for traditional and transitional cabinetry where warm brass tones are already part of the hardware palette, pull finishes, or hinge selections. It suits pantry door inserts, furniture armoire openings, built-in media enclosures, and radiator covers where the face wants an open patterned look rather than a solid or glazed one. The 36 by 48 inch sheet is on the larger end of the standard stock range, which makes it practical when the opening is generous or when a single sheet needs to cover more than one insert without a seam.
Flat wire has a broad face rather than a curved crown, so the grid looks more like interlocking ribbons than woven filaments. The intersections are sharper and the highlight sits across the full strand width.
Each opening is 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch, which is on the compact side of the range available in this pattern family. It produces a fine, dense grid rather than a large open one.
No. The mesh is an even 3/8 inch square in both directions, so it reads the same regardless of which edge is at the top.
36 inches wide by 48 inches long.
Choose this panel when the opening calls for a warm antique brass finish and the flat-wire construction that makes it show up clearly across a finished room.
