Application

Suitable for a wide variety of applications such as wall cladding, car park screens, compounds, plant housing, ventilation grilles, balustrades, roof screening, bin stores and cycle hubs.

Description

A louvred cladding system manufactured from Corten steel with a linear aesthetic, providing visual screening for wall cladding and compounds.


Features and benefits:

  • Made either with overlapping louvres for 100% visual screening, or with a shorter profile for 80% visual screening.
  • Horizontal louvres as standard.
  • Available with vertical louvres to provide a variable degree of visual screening, depending on the angle of view.
  • The steel construction creates a robust panel suitable for ground and street-front locations, as well as roof-top and elevated situations.
  • The louvre profile is formed from triple flanged flat bars which form a continuous linear aesthetic.
  • The louvres are secured by electrofusion to 4 mm diameter vertical round bars.
  • Panels can be designed with the louvre blades sloping upwards, which provides more effective visual screening for roof-top installation when viewed from ground level.
  • The Corten steel requires no finishing; it develops a stable rust-like patina.
  • The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather.
  • Over the course of time, it changes from russet to sand brown and finally to dark brown.
