Link and Material
-
Everything is created with our small, anodized aluminum links.
Kriska
The original trademarked metal link. Versatile and resistant.
Snina
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.
QUAD Traversing
By Roger Vancells
System that integrates a tape to provide mobility to the chains. The tape allows us to create a flat or wave effect.
QUAD Sliding
By Roger Vancells
Movable rail system with slide rails allowing the creation of a "panel" effect.
Feel Free
By estudi{H}ac
Self-supporting system that allows the installation of chains without the need for support or fixing to the ceiling or wall.
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.

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

Chain measurements
Projects can be adapted to any size, height and width. Aluminum 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 include 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 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 color to the aluminum chain and creates a cover which provides protection against light and humidity.
One of our outstanding characteristics is the wide range of colors we offer to our customers.
The maintenance is quite simple as chains 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.) Vapor or water pressure machines can also be used.
