The delicate one. For more defined and smart chain artworks.
Densities
Standard
The perfect symmetry. Chain lines harmonically aligned. Suitable for most uses.
Half-drop
The intense option. Half-drop density provides higher opacity and a stronger visual impact.
Densities
-
Each project has its own personality, by offering different density options, as it is a metal fabric, we allow our clients to materialize the soul of their ideas with the intensity they desire.
Finishes and colors

Customization
Customization
Every project is unique, that is why we take a collaborative approach to every detail and strive to break boundaries in support of our clients’ ideas and needs. If it is possible, we will find a way!
Sizes
From the smallest and most delicate to the most majestic and large aluminum chain projects, each one will be creatively developed and taken care of from inception through install.
Image
We know a picture is worth a thousand words - and we have found the way to translate these emotions through our custom graphical architectural design solutions. We can reproduce any picture, pattern, graphic or corporate design. Utilizing our mosaic inspired approach every link act as a pixel.
Shapes and volumes
The limit is everyone’s imagination. By creating 3D volumes and defining required shapes, we can materialize ideas in a most vivid way.
Mounting options
Mounting options
Slim
Rectangular and discreet. This is the ideal solution for projects where the rail does not need to stand out.
Chain Drapery
System that allows the curtain to be opened and closed. The chain links are attached to a flexible textile strip, which slides along the rail. Adaptable to linear or curved compositions.
Sliding Panel System
This panel system can be used for wall or ceiling fixation, allows independent manual movement of parallel panels. Can be lacquered in other colors.
BCN Tensed System
Floor and ceiling fastening profile that includes a spring system on the upper part, ensuring the stability of the chains.
BCN Framed System
It is composed of the BCN Tensed System and two side bars that complete the frame.
Custom fixation

Inferior fastening
Used in select façade and high-wind outdoor installations, this option fastens chain strands to a lower rail that is fixed to floor or superstructure.
Chain linking
The chains can be joined together using rings, at any height and as many times as required. This option gives the curtain rigidity and prevents crossing through the chain panel.
Chain shaping
This consists of “trimming” the height along a profile to create doors, steps and slopes at the bottom of the curtain. Shaping can follow straight or curved lines to create surprising effects. The chain can be demarked with a frame or remain free.Technical specifications

Weights
Weight Kriska Snina Standard Half-drop Standard Half-drop Weight lb/sq ft. 0.62 lb 0,79 lb 0.46 lb 0,61 lb The aluminium in the kriskadecor links goes through our special anodising treatment, specially designed for our chains, which gives them improved robustness and offers high colour resistance against climatic factors, wear and rusting. This allows for interior as well as exterior uses.
-
Chain measurements
Projects can be adapted to any size, height and width. Aluminium is a very light element and it is easy to handle.
Material is delivered built to the measurements as indicated by the customer.
The sizes always includes the rail and the support system.Due to the size of the meshes and the spaces between strands, the measurements may not be exact, although they are as close as technically possible to the height and width requested, without exceeding these measurements.
For best chain presence, we typically leave 3/4” space at the bottom of the curtain.
-
Anodization
Our links have been through a decorative anodizing process. All Kriskadecor’s anodizing machinery has been developed by our team and the whole production process is done in-house in our own facilities.
This electrochemical process fixes the colour to the aluminium chain and also creates a cover which provides protection against light and humidity.
One of our outstanding characteristics is the wide range of colours we offer to our customers.
Kriskadecor’s aluminium anodised links’ maintenance is quite simple as it can be cleaned with water and neutral soap.
-
Installation & Maintenance
The material is supplied ready to install, including the rail and fasteners. Installation is simple and does not require specialized personnel.
Before installation, check that the element on which the feature or curtain will be installed to will be able to take its weight.
For chain maintenance, clean with water and mild soap (such as Ivory liquid.) Vapour or water pressure machines can also be used.
