Wooden louvred trusses, fixed or adjustable, Umbelco UPM
The UPM family of wooden louvers is characterized by thermo-treated wood louvers in various shapes and designs, which combine strength, dimensional stability and resistance to xylophagous agents with the traditional and warm appearance of wood. For its production, PEFC-certified wood is always used, which guarantees that it has been obtained through sustainable criteria.
Description for projects
The slats, of square, rectangular or trapezoidal cross-section, are slats superimposed with a patented hidden fastening system on a structure of extruded aluminum L-6063 with T5 anodized or lacquered treatment.
COMPONENTS
Parallel slats of heat-treated wood on a tubular extruded aluminum frame.
VARIANTS
The slats can be horizontal, vertical, inverted, cantilevered, mitered, or with different types of corner finials. The frames can be sliding, hinged, folding or booklet frames.

What projects is this lattice for?
UPM trusses are designed for medium-large projects (from 300m2), to guarantee a direct supply from the wholesaler. In this way we get a more competitive price, and a guaranteed quality material.
How far in advance should I consider incorporating it?
UPM trusses offer a high degree of customization, but require design and calculation time. We recommend, as a minimum, projects in the design phase, to accommodate the material to the needs of the project.
I am a private individual, can you make me some wooden lattices?
Unfortunately, no. The minimum quantities of material do not allow us to execute small projects. We recommend
evaluate aluminum options
.
We have a design for wooden lattice. Can you manufacture it for me?
Unfortunately not. Our slat sections and technical solutions are designed to maximize the technical value of the material. Contact us to learn more about them.
What type of wood is used for this product?
All the materials we work with are FSC and PEFC certified. On this basis, we recommend heat-treated wood for its low maintenance and good dimensional stability, but for large projects, we can offer other woods that meet the expected standards.
What maintenance will I have to do to my wooden lattice?
Maintenance depends very much on the type of wood, its exposure, and the aggressiveness of the environment, but they are usually annual processes that may involve sanding the surface and/or applying varnishes or oils.
Is there such a thing as a maintenance-free natural wood lattice?
Generally speaking, no. As long as you want to maintain the original aesthetics of natural wood in the long term, you will need to maintain it.
I want a wood that evolves over time, what are my options?
There are industrially treated woods that reduce maintenance at the expense of traditional wood aesthetics. These materials will maintain their functionality, but their aesthetics will change, usually towards grayer tones. Contact us for more information.
I don't want/can't do maintenance, but still want the look of wood. what are my options?
It values the use of metal lattices in imitation wood. Although wood louvers are a very attractive option, the need for maintenance is a long-term commitment.
