About Mini-Flute

Offering versatile characteristics, Mini-Flute allows for maximum design freedom. The traditional ‘S’ profile maintains a heritage look and in contrast also works as an attractive cladding option on ground breaking architecturally designed buildings. It’s ability to be used vertically, horizontally or diagonally opens a range of stunning design options. While full-length sheets and wide coverage allow for quick installation.

Fielders® Mini-flute is available in COLORBOND® steel, ZINCALUME®, Heritage Galvanised and Stainless Steel, allowing the flexibility to create a modern appearance through to a rustic look. Depending on location, actual product supplied may vary from image shown.

You need to select a state...

SK NOTE: I was thinking of putting some placeholder blocks here to indicate there was more content to come (rough example below). But that is being used quite a lot now in apps where content loads automatically - so would be pretty misleading and may lead to a user waiting for something to happen. So still thinking of a better idea here...
