Fin fixing systems

Timber fins are a striking design element in modern architecture, offering both visual appeal and practical benefits like solar shading and filtered natural light. For projects that demand a flawless finish, secret-fixing systems are essential. At Russwood, we offer two innovative solutions tailored to different project needs: Russwood FinFix® for smaller fin sections and SIHGA LamellenFix for larger fins and louvres. Both systems deliver a clean, fixing-free look with strong structural performance and straightforward installation.
