Longboard® fire-safe architectural products are made from light-weight extruded aluminum and are easy to install either in the factory or for on-site construction.
Link & Lock™ is a two-piece extruded aluminum batten engineered for versatility. Two interlocking L-shaped extrusions form a sleek, durable, and modern profile. This design simplifies installation, offering a lightweight, maneuverable alternative to traditional single-piece battens. The first piece mounts securely, while the second clips into place for a seamless finish. Compatible with various mounting hardware, it adapts to fin, beam, and louvre configurations.
