Let us introduce you to our newest product, Click-on Screens. Our Click-on Screens are the latest revolutionary development into robust feature barrier systems.
The product has been designed to function in the realm of barriers and fall protection, while also offering exceptional design capabilities. The design flexibility this product offers is endless.
In celebration of this new product and its recent launch, we thought we would take you through the product design journey of developing this product.
Read on to discover the challenges, the why, the how and what Click-on Screens help our customers achieve.
Our products department is always working diligently to ensure that we can continue to live out our philosophy of ‘Beautiful Designs Made Buildable’ by ensuring we can build designs with our products. The department includes David and Brad and is small, but very nimble! Creating new products that architects and designers want is their forte.
The end result of Click-on Screens offers no visible fixings to provide a clean, linear, 360-degree screen product, unmatched elsewhere within the market. It has a versatile Click-on connection system with fixings on the back or ends of battens. This maximises the range of potential applications and allows designers to place connections where they are least visible.
Product development is approached with an agile process refined over time. For Click-on Screens, 467 different drawings and sketches were saved throughout the process and reiterated until a product was created that met the needs of the customer.
Then we wait in anticipation to launch the product and see how our product is received by our valued customers.
We launched Click-on Screens directly in response to a strong need rather than in response to an existing product category, so in that way, it’s quite unique.
We enter product design with people in mind. Our customers are at the heart of our products and we design hoping that our customers will be excited and delighted with the finished product when they’re launched.
No one else has a Click-on connection within a screen product like we do, it’s unmatched within the market. Since it fills such a big gap and there aren’t any direct competitors, one thing I anticipated most when releasing Click-on Screens is the range of design concepts that we’d see from our clients. Our products get utilised in all sorts of different ways and we discover capabilities and uses that we hadn’t thought of yet.
When those first renders come back from designers – that’s the exciting bit! We wait in anticipation until the project is completed and when we see those final project photos, we really get a kick and it puts everything we work to achieve into a tangible feeling of pride and joy.
I enjoy seeing our products evolve over time once they are released. With Click-on Screens I can envision new profiles that the battens and blades could be shaped into, and a range of configurations and orientations could also evolve. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to making beautiful designs buildable.
As we respond to an architectural need with our products, I am going to enjoy overseeing the response and seeing where Click-on Screens take us next. As proved by our Click-on Batten products 10 years ago when they were first released, the range has adapted immensely.
Simplicity and clean linear textures are at the heart of Click-on Screens, our latest patented barrier system designed with our signature Click-on connection. Its strong engineering allows large batten spans between fixings which can also be invisible for a 360-degree clean, unhindered design.
Spatial architecture is easily achieved with Click-on Screens. Their flexible design, invisible fixings and strong joins enable you to design impressive multi-functional spaces.
They’re excellent as balustrade infills, fulfilling the need to make barrier systems beautiful. They’ve been engineered to meet high load requirements and comply with C3 and C5 balustrade infill ratings according to AS1170.1.
Click-on Screens can be used for a range of applications:
The system consists of mounting tracks, clips and timber or aluminium battens. The clip base comes factory fitted to the mounting track at the specified spacing. A button is fixed to the back of the batten, which when slid up or down, clicks securely into engagement in the clip base.
Site variation along with building and thermal movement is all factored in with the top bracket getting fixed and the lower brackets being able to slide. The rail design makes for easy fixing to any substrate while giving the installer up to 10mm of in/out adjustment.
