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.
