In 2016, Dealer Tire LLC decided to relocate its headquarters to Cleveland, Ohio. As one of America's largest tire distributors and a provider of tools and services to over 10,000 car dealers and more than two dozen automotive brands, the move required an extensive renovation of the historic Victory Center in Midtown Cleveland.

Dealer Tire sought a loft-style location that embodied an industrial aesthetic. The four-story H-shaped Victory Center, vacant after a state-assisted renovation, fit the bill perfectly. One critical factor for the new headquarters was adequate parking for employees and visitors. The lot could accommodate a 650-space parking garage, where W.S. Tyler's expertise came into play.

Car park cladding with HAVER Architectural Mesh

Collaborating with architects from Vocon, W.S. Tyler—a division of Haver & Boecker—addressed several challenges with their Architectural Mesh. The material served as a security barrier while maintaining enough open space for natural ventilation. It needed to be cost-effective and cover a large area. Vocon quickly turned to the local expertise of W.S. Tyler.

For this project, HAVER Architectural Mesh DOGLA-TRIO 1011 was chosen. The architects appreciated W.S. Tyler's specialized knowledge and ability to match the mesh to their needs. Using a standard tensioning system with flat profiles, clevises, and springs, the mesh created stunning visual effects under varying sunlight and angles.

The new Dealer Tire headquarters opened in April 2017. The combination of the building and the mesh-enclosed parking garage has since become a landmark in Cleveland. Vocon acknowledged W.S. Tyler as an excellent partner in the project, and there are plans to illuminate some of the mesh panels to showcase its beauty further.

Before delving deep into your design, consider whether fine-detail modeling of the mesh is necessary. If the mesh is central to your design or serves a critical function, such as EMI analysis, detailed modeling may be justified. Otherwise, using mesh materials to represent the mesh visually can save time and enhance performance, particularly if the mesh is mainly cosmetic.

Here are design examples demonstrating this approach on a 1960s-era race car:

Using "Stainless Steel Mesh - Wire" material models the screen over the air intakes accurately.

The "Stainless Steel Mesh - Slot" material effectively simulates a radiator pattern without complex geometry.

These simplified methods can make your designs visually impressive while conserving time and resources.
