Our new Portiqo Architectural Screens are a New Zealand-made aluminium screening system designed to enhance architectural aesthetics across residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Modern architecture demands more than function - it requires façades that are clean, versatile, and visually striking. Portiqo Architectural Screens deliver on all fronts. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, these aluminium batten screens offer architects and designers a flexible, durable, and low-maintenance solution to enhance residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
With five batten extrusion sizes, three fixing configurations, and a wide range of powdercoated and timber-look finishes, Portiqo by Unex Systems provides designers the freedom to create façades that are both refined and resilient. Whether used as face-fixed wall screening, vertical panels, or sloped and gable-end installations, the system adapts to a variety of building forms with consistent, high-quality results.
Versatile Screening for Every Project
Portiqo enables architects and builders to create refined façades with ease. Its five batten extrusion sizes and three fixing configurations can be tailored to a wide range of applications:
- Face-fixed wall screening
- Bottom- and top-fixed vertical panels
- Sloped or gable-end installations
The system adapts seamlessly to different building forms, allowing for consistent, high-quality results whether you’re enhancing a private home, an apartment block, or a commercial building.
Finishes that Last
Portiqo battens are available in a variety of finishes to suit both aesthetic and environmental requirements:
Powder-Coated Aluminium
- Wide selection from the Dulux architectural range
- Long-lasting colour stability and resistance to weather
Metwood Timber-Look Coatings
- Realistic woodgrain finish using advanced sublimation technology
- Scratch, impact, and warp resistant
- Suitable for interior or exterior use
These options allow designers to achieve either contemporary crispness or the warmth of natural timber, without the maintenance concerns of wood.
Performance and Durability
Made from architectural grade aluminium, Portiqo is lightweight yet strong, making handling and installation efficient. The material is non-rusting and resistant to moisture, UV exposure, mold, fungi, and insects, ensuring lasting performance in New Zealand’s variable climates.
Portiqo Architectural Screens are backed by a 10-year UNEX product warranty, offering long-term reassurance for both specifiers and building owners.
Designed for Visual Enhancement
Portiqo screens are intended for façade screening and visual enhancement only and are not designed as fall-prevention barriers. Supplied exclusively through UNEX-authorised fabricators, the system ensures precise fabrication and professional installation on every project.
