Louvred Grilles Pressure Locked and Electrofused Products

Lang+Fulton is one of the oldest companies in Scotland; its history as iron merchants in Greenock dates back to 1781. From those early days it developed into an important supplier of steel to the UK shipbuilding industry, often carrying steel from the mills in its own ships. The business has progressively evolved from this background in steel stockholding, fabrication and shipping and today operates as a supplier of fencing, gratings and louvres, employing a young team from engineering and surveying backgrounds. The Company's main sales and technical office is based in Edinburgh with...

Our Products Lang+Fulton offers the widest choice of louvred products to the UK and worldwide markets. But why choose a Lang+Fulton louvre? All of our louvred products are made from mild steel S235JR. The mild steel construction is not only more economical than aluminium but, even more importantly, it has a much greater intrinsic strength. This is particularly important as the linear nature of a louvred material will highlight any distortion. There are many sites where a compound or street-front wall cladding may be subjected to hard knocks. Where aluminium will dent or distort, steel will...

Electrofused Louvres Italia Range Italia louvres have a continuous lateral appearance. The panels are made from profiled steel louvres which are fused to round transverse bars. During the fusion process high voltage electricity combines with pressure to totally amalgamate the component parts at each intersection. This produces a material which has complete integrity. There are two alternative products within the range: • • Italia-100 with overlapping louvres for 100% visual screening Italia-80 for 80% visual screening. Framing: panels are framed on both sides with steel flat bar or angle...

Pressure Locked Louvres Delta Ranges Delta louvres have a crisp aesthetic; three different styles offer a choice of linear, geometric or gently profiled form. The panels are made from inclined steel flat bars which are pressure locked to vertical transverse bars. This process creates perfectly formed intersections. The inclined louvre can be spaced at any increment of 11mm to provide either total screening or any degree of partial screening with a corresponding degree of free area. Delta products are particularly robust with a 40x2 mm louvre and 20x2 or 30x2mm verticals. • DeltaWing the...

A louvred facade is a very economical way of creating a solid or semi-solid wall. The louvred panels can be made either to fit within a structural opening with concealed ancillary steelwork or can be used to cover an underlying concrete or blockwork surface. The panels have a proven record of resistance to vandalism and excellent anti-climb properties and are therefore particularly appropriate for street-front elevations. Alternative styles of framing can be chosen to create a particular accent, pattern or continuous effect. Lang+Fulton can advise on the design of the most appropriate...

Multi-Storey Car Parks There are several important prerequisites when considering the choice of material for the facade of a multi-storey car park. Louvres provide the natural ventilation of vehicle emissions that is a primary requirement of multi-storey car parks. Louvres allow the passage of natural daylight, reducing the potential problem of claustrophobia and increasing personal security. Light pollution in urban areas is increasingly a concern to Planning Departments; louvres will diffuse or block the glare of headlights. Louvres conceal the levels and ramps which form the inner...

Louvres are an effective solution to the particular problem of how to conceal unsightly roof-top plant such as air conditioning condensers and heat exchange units. These can often be subject to a Visual Impact Assessment as part of the Planning process. Panels can be manufactured either to the standard orientation or inverted so that the louvres are angled upwards. This has the effect of increasing the degree of visual screening from ground level. While providing a screening function, the louvres also allow the free passage of air which reduces the impact of severe wind conditions. Our...

Compounds & Security Screening Louvred compounds provide the security and visual screening which may be needed for industrial gas storage tanks, for mechanical or electrical plant, or for vehicle, bike or equipment stores. For the highest security requirements, such as electricity sub-stations, a security or bird mesh can also be fitted to the back of the louvres. Each compound is custom designed with support steelwork and posts are supplied either for ground foundation or with base plates for fixing to a concrete slab. Compounds can be supplied with a roof for additional security or for...

Louvres have the dual advantage of creating a sheltered space for balconies and roof-top gardens while providing privacy between adjacent properties. Lang+Fulton will advise on handrail design, the layout of the panels and posts and the most effective solution for anchoring the secondary steelwork to the building. Handrails can be an extension of the panel or a separate element. All balconies and balustrades will be designed to accept the horizontal loadings for pedestrian barriers in accordance with BS 6399-1. DeltaWing and DeltaBox are especially suitable products for balcony...
