The right product for every application

Blankets

Where halls, halls or other rooms of any type and size are to be given a modern design, Lichtgitter ceiling coverings are an economical and at the same time decorative and attractive building element.

+ Air and translucent


+ Dust permeable


+ Sound-absorbing


+ Low dead weight


+ No electrostatic charging


+ Attractive structural shapes


+ Flat appearance

facades

To give an otherwise rather sober functional building a friendly and decorative appearance, many planners and architects decide to use a curtain facades made of Gratings.

+ Modern and versatile construction elements


+ Individually designed facades


+ Closed in itself, but still transparent


+ Good ventilation


+ privacy screen


+ Low dead weight and easy installation


+ Integration of walkways and escape routes possible


+ High corrosion resistance due to a wide variety of surfaces


+ Low maintenance effort

Parking garage

Especially in the area of parking garage cladding, the use of industrial floor coverings as facades is an economical and efficient solution.

+ Enormously high cross-section = significantly smaller dimensions, possibly without a SHEV system


+ Low wind loads = cost savings for open facades


+ Hardly any target for sprayers and vandalism


+ Low maintenance costs


+ Optimum burglary protection due to high cutouts and torsional rigidity


+ A wide variety of designs

Sun protection

Lichtgitter sun protecting gratings are a modern and versatile construction elements. The effect of the sun shading depends on the height of the bearing bars running parallel to the building and the distance between them.

+ Weather and corrosion resistance


+ Wide range of protective effects possible


+ Pedestrian traffic means they can be used as walkways/escape routes


+ Various materials ( e.g. steel, aluminium, GRP)


+ High corrosion resistance due to a wide variety of surfaces

floorings

Lichtgitter floorings are used in the industrial sector as platforms, platforms or walkways in all kinds of facilities, but can also be designed to create graphic effects that give the environment an exciting design.

+ High bearing capacity


+ Simple assembly


+ Slip-resistant surfaces


+ Light and air permeable


+ Complete range of industrial floor coverings

walkways

new building cultural studies center, library Georg-august-university göttingen

On display at:
Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14, 37073 Göttingen

Applications:
Ceiling covering

Grating type:
Press-locked gratings/full cell gratings

Bearing bars: 70 x 3 mm
Cross bars: 70 × 3 mm°
Pitch: 66 × 66 mm

Material:
Aluminium

Surface:
E6C0 anodized finish (natural aluminium)

Special feature:
Ceiling grids with cross bars and supports of the same height primarily offer a two-dimensional appearance. A transparent appearance is only created from a viewing angle of 41°. The free cross-section of 89% allows the lighting to be positioned above the ceiling mirror.

Science park Linz

On view at:
Altenberger Straße 66, 4040 Linz (AT)

Applications:
Railings and steps

Grating type:

Press-locked gratings
Bearing bars: 40 × 2 mm
