Now Offering New Dimensions, a Heavy Duty Iteration, and New Mounting Hardware
ABBOTSFORD, BC, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Longboard® Architectural Products, the industry's leading innovator in 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 towards architectural versatility, Longboard Architectural Products expands and enhances their renowned Link & Lock™" architectural batten series. Originally available in a 1 ⅓" width and various depths including 2", 4", 6", and 8" dimensions, these functional aluminum battens will now also include 4"x4" and 4"x6" 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"x6" and 2"x8" 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.
Jason Haveruk, Longboard's Product Manager spoke to the story behind designing these products:
"The new HD option for our popular Link & Lock™ product allows for greater spans at higher wind loads and requires less labor when compared to our standard Link & Lock™ product that uses an internal stiffener. We designed the brackets to accommodate slab deflection and to ultimately provide another tool for designers and architects to achieve their creative visions."
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.
