Systems Overview

Flat lock panels are a common feature for commercial and residential projects. In fact, they can be used as a low maintenance alternative for weatherboard properties, instead of sourcing timber that is susceptible to weather damage. Through their locking mechanism, the panels create a thin and contemporary façade. Together, they are highly versatile and can be laid in a variety of pattern configurations, including horizontally, vertically, or even diagonally.

Key Benefit One

The sky is the limit with flat lock systems. They offer a range of design options, which allows them to be used in a variety of complex settings and environments.

Key Benefit Two

They are perfect for smaller sized projects. At just 7mm, they can be used for builds where slim walls are required. As the name suggests, they are also one of the flattest sheet metals available.

Key Benefit Three

Flat lock panels allow for tapering or splaying panels to be incorporated. They are a perfect system to consider if the builder or homeowners is seeking to add some creative flare to the property.
