Powder Coated Aluminium
Our Aluminium Screens are made from lightweight, tough, rust free aluminium with a powder coated finish. You can choose your colour from our Interpon Colour Chart. The panels are 3mm thick and can be supplied in sizes up to 3000mm x 1500mm. The screens are suitable for indoor and outdoor use with a variety of applications.
When installing the screens, we recommend fixing points at approximately 600mm spacing around the perimeter or the screen. This will help reduce flex across the panel. We take extreme pride in our work and as such all our powder coated screens have had the edges dressed.
Weathering Steel (Corten)
Corten Steel is a high strength weathering steel which forms a stable, attractive rust-like appearance when exposed to weather. The steel is 3mm thick and can be supplied in panels up to 3000mm x 1500mm. The screens are suitable for indoor and outdoor use with a variety of applications.
Unlike most metals, Corten or weathering steel is designed to form a rust patina when exposed to the elements. A layer of rust forms on the outer surface and acts as a protective coating. The colour and extent of the rust effect depends on the elements it is exposed to, and will vary from panel to panel. Concrete, stone and unglazed brick may suffer from oxide staining when in contact with weathering steel. Connections to dissimilar materials, such as zinc or cadmium plated bolts, should be avoided.
When we install Corten screens, we recommend fixing points at approximately 600mm spacing around the perimeter or the screen. This will help reduces flex across the panel.
Corten is corrosion resistant and will last a lot longer than mild steel.
Reconstituted Hardwood (Weathertex)
Our Hardwood Screens are made from premium quality manufactured timber using 100% Australian plantation hardwood. The timber is 9mm thick and panels can be supplied in sizes up to 3000mm x 1500mm. The screens are suitable for indoor and outdoor use with a variety of applications.
Our Weathertex Screens are easy to install and designed for both trade and DIY projects. As the Screens are made from 100% Australian plantation hardwood, and because they are a natural product, care is needed to ensure they are properly maintained. Screens should be finished with at least 2 coats of a quality exterior timber oil. There is likely to be some variation in colour and texture, with natural imperfections and individual markings which enhance the overall appeal and uniqueness.
One side of the screen has a finer, smoother finish and this should be installed as the face side. The product will weather or grey like natural timber, and natural tannins may leach colour, particularly in the first 6 months. Screens can be easily rejuvenated with another coat of oil, in the same manner as a timber deck.
