A steel louvre with a profiled horizontal louvre providing 100% visual screening for cladding, plant housing or brise soleil.
Italia-100 is a steel louvred cladding system which combines 100% visual screening with 29% free area for ventilation and anti-climb properties.
The steel construction creates a robust panel suitable for ground and street-front locations as well as roof-top and elevated situations.
Framed panels are manufactured to custom-sizes for a wide variety of applications such as wall cladding, car park screens, compounds, plant housing, ventilation grilles, balconies and balustrades, wheelie bin stores and brise soleil.
The louvre profile is formed from triple flanged 69 x 1.5 mm flat bars which overlap to provide a continuous linear aesthetic, total visual screening and good protection against the rain. The louvres are secured by electrofusion to 4 mm diameter vertical round bars.
Panels and ancillary steelwork can be supplied galvanized only or galvanized and powder coated to any RAL colour.
