After sweeping the awards programs last year, the Stratlock Rail System from Fastmount, New Zealand-based manufacturer of hidden panel mounting systems, is fast becoming the system of choice for architects and designers wanting to achieve perfect alignment and efficient installation of wall and ceiling panelling in their commercial and residential projects.

The flexible extrusion and clip system is designed for efficient and accurate framework construction, on which to mount heavy-duty panels. The Stratlock aluminium rails are used with the Stratlock range of clips, which fits easily into the framework to enable fast install, accurate negative detail, and panel removability, time after time.

This integrated decorative panel mounting system is a refined solution for high traffic areas susceptible to wear and tear like hotels, healthcare and education environments. It is ideal for hard to finish spaces due to uneven surfaces, areas that need to provide access to services, and projects that need regular reconfiguration like office and retail fit-outs. The system provides overall lower assembly costs, a reduction in installation time, limitless construction possibilities and increased flexibility in grid design according to specific needs.

Comprising of a custom-built aluminium extrusion profile and three connectors to enable absolute installation flexibility, the Stratlock Rail System enables a seamless and hassle-free solution to lining a structural interior with perfectly spaced decorative panels in a variety of applications. The system has a pull out load of 18kgs and high shear strength. It is easily reconfigurable and reusable to meet changing requirements, with no special tools required. Technical files are available to facilitate easy pre-drilling using a CNC machine, which means a high level of off-site construction and efficiency is achieved.

For a truly effortless, streamlined and reusable system, the Fastmount Stratlock Rail System is the fool proof standard for designers and builders wanting a complete, flexible process for precisely framing up walls and installing interior panels in a streamlined manner.
