OUR STORY
An American Original
Cambridge Architectural evolved from a world-renowned American industrial wire belt manufacturer with a century of successful engineered solutions. Our roots remain on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, home to a fourth-generation of artisans dedicated to making weaving metal mesh.
Our first architectural installation was at the iconic Seagram Building in New York City in 1957. Today, our craftsmen’s stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze and copper woven mesh is displayed in thousands of projects worldwide.
From parking garages and pedestrian bridges to hotels, hospitals, stadiums and transit hubs, Cambridge metal fabrics transform building interiors and exteriors while providing important environmental, safety and energy-saving benefits.
OUR APPROACH
When working with the Cambridge team, architects and contractors can choose from two types of mesh systems to meet a wide range of design, material and budget specifications.
PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEMS
These five systems for common applications are fabricated in a variety of standard sizes and have shorter lead times. They require no Cambridge engineering consultation as long as the project designs stay within the mesh’s size constraints.
CUSTOM DESIGNED SYSTEMS
From concept development to installation, we offer full-scale project management and engineering services. With access to skilled artisans and creative engineering minds within our walls, we can help execute any architect or designer’s vision no matter the complexity.

Director of Operations
Matt’s collaborative leadership style – honed as an engineer, artist and coach – is on display every day. Over 20 years, including 15 with Cambridge, he’s sharpened his problem-solving and management skills working on some of our largest, most complex projects. Matt likens his role to a traffic engineer: Creating efficient pathways and removing design, software or scheduling roadblocks to deliver optimal results. His daily 1 o’clock meetings define this problem-solving approach with engineers and project managers standing before a giant whiteboard to raise, sketch, edit and eventually solve design challenges.
A consummate outdoorsman and runner, Matt also has a fully outfitted metal shop at home where he puts his craft to work creating metal sculptures and art.
