Expanded Metals for Sunscreening
Installation of Locker expanded metal provides many options for full or partial shielding from light, while maintaining airflow.
Expanded metal also brings aesthetic advantages through infinite permutations of colour, finish and scale.
All these factors combined with strength, rigidity, ease of maintenance and fire-proof properties make Locker Expanded Metal the perfect solution for a vast range of screening applications.
The chart below shows the exact level of screening, relative to the angle of sunlight. The sun screening effect is similar to that of a louvre blind.
