Longboard Architectural Products, a provider of premium extruded aluminum building products, proudly announces a significant expansion to its architectural battens, the Link & Lock series. This release includes new dimensions, the introduction of a Heavy Duty (HD) iteration, and an array of new mounting hardware options.
In a stride toward architectural versatility, Longboard Architectural Products expands and enhances its renowned Link & Lock architectural batten series. Originally available in a 1 ?-inch width and various depths including 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-inch dimensions, these functional aluminum battens will now also include 4- by 4-inch and 4- by 6-inch dimensions.
Another addition to the Link & Lock lineup is an HD variation of the 2-piece, hidden fastener batten solution. This HD option will be available in 2- by 6-inch and 2- by 8-inch options and come with the corresponding HD end mounts. Link & Lock HD boasts heightened architectural capabilities, enabling installation over larger spans without the need for a stiffener.
This Heavy-Duty innovation utilizes the same installation methods as its standard counterpart, providing seamless installation possibilities both perpendicular and end-to-end, made possible by the Link & Lock end mounts.
Complementing the enhanced batten lineup, Longboard introduced an array of fixed and sliding mounting brackets designed to empower designers and architects with unmatched creative freedom. These mounting brackets can be used across the standard Link & Lock and HD ranges to unlock the potential for dynamic installations at 45 and 90 degrees, and creates new design possibilities in the distinctive “fin” orientation.
All iterations of Link & Lock embrace Longboard’s premium finishes, encompassing a rich spectrum of options ranging from wood grains and solid colors to naturally aged metals, specialty, and custom colors.
Longboard invites architects, builders, and construction professionals to explore the endless possibilities of these enhanced cladding systems and building products. By offering an expanded palette of aesthetic options, Longboard empowers the design community to create distinctive, eye-catching spaces.
