Intrepid Beam for Direct Mount Systems
Made of 100% extruded architectural aluminum, the Longboard Intrepid beam system is built to provide a simply stunning solution for linear ceilings. Easy to install, non-combustible, VOC free, and corrosion resistant, this system complements any interior building design.
Intrepid ceilings utilize various sizes of Link & Lock™ battens, Longboard’s popular hidden fastener solution. The system was designed for easy install and creative adaptability in a variety of interior applications. Battens are mechanically fastened to conventionally framed ceiling structures as well as approved suspended ceiling structures and are therefore suitable to be used in all seismic categories. Suspension elements can vary from heavy-duty 15/16” T-grid to struts. Manufactured in either 12 foot or 24 foot lengths they are easily fabricated whether in a pre-fab facility or in the field to suit your project’s conditions.
