Description of a metal facade. For image see http://www.baunetz.de/sixcms_4/sixcms/detail.php?id=172764
Das Metallgeflecht besteht aus nur 0,4 Millimeter starken und 50 Millimeter breiten Edelstahlbändern, die in einem speziell entwickelten „Webstuhl“ wie „Kette und Schuss“ zu Geflechtbahnen verarbeitet wurden.
I'm also wondering about Geflechtbahnen (woven strips?)

Warp and woof: on a loom the warp goes one way, the woof the other. Figuratively, if you have something that permeates the warp and woof of some medium, it means that the whole fabric shows it or is involved, since woven fabric has only the threads of the warp and the woof.
