Wooden lattice panels were first developed by the Chinese over 1000 years ago to cover their windows and act as protective and decorative privacy screens. Over the decades countless companies and individuals have tried to improve its design, construction and simplify its manufacture. We have seen latter day lattice panels made from wood, plastic, steel and now aluminium. These panels have been held together by a variety of methods: nails, screws, plastic clips, rivets, welds and of late, expensive internal pins inserted by expensive machinery.

All of these fixing methods look untidy, aren’t durable and create other problems as the lattice panel ages. Enter the Loc-It Research & Design team. This highly successful team took what we, for the last 1000 years had taken for granted, and thought outside the square.

“How can we make the simple lattice better in every way?”

Instead of nailing, screwing, welding, riveting or pinning lattice together let’s just slide one blade through the other, therefore interlocking all the blades. How simple is that? Why didn’t someone else think of that, when it has been staring us all in the face for 1000 years?

The new Euro Adjustable Lattice from Loc-It has been born.

A worldwide patent has been taken out and Euro Adjustable Lattice is to be launched into world markets from the beginning of this year. The simple interlocking of the blades solves a multitude of problems currently associated with lattice design and manufacturing. Firstly, the lattice can now be made from high quality tubed aluminium, which is light and strong. Assembly is now so simple and inexpensive – just slide one blade though another – anyone can do it! Another feature of the interlocking blades is the aperture size between the blades can be easily varied or adjusted to suit client needs. A smaller aperture is used when privacy is required or a larger aperture for decorative, airflow or security issues. Our largest aperture size lattice is being used to give public and private car parks full security with a very attractive appearance yet still allowing the legal limit of airflow.

The Extended Family of Loc-It Products.

The Simple Assembly Solutions Research & Design team then turned their attention to see what other useful products they could create using this patented interlocking system. The design brief was to make sure all these new products complimented each other. The newly designed Loc-It range of awnings, fences, gates, balustrades and patio doors all use the same design theme, and have a synergistic effect when used together. They can dramatically change the look of your home.
