Attractive, durable, architectural lattice panels are fabricated using overlapping lathes that are shop-welded at every joint. VINYLattice eliminates labor-intensive painting, rust stains from staples or other fasteners, replacement of cracked of splintered lathes, or panels that fall apart within a few years. The overlapped lathes provide the depth, shadow-line and general appearance of fine wood lattice products finished with several coats of paint.
