What is the Knotwood Geoline system and how is it different from other Knotwood screen products?

Geoline is a complete modular framing system designed to hold multiple Knotwood geometric batten profiles within a single frame. Unlike Clip, Flip, or Stand-Up Battens which fix battens directly to a substructure, Geoline frames are self-contained panels that can integrate with tracks or wheels for sliding, reconfigurable screen layouts. It is the only Knotwood Screens product designed for moveable panel systems.

What batten profiles are compatible with the Knotwood Geoline frame system?

The Geoline framing system is designed to hold multiple Knotwood geometric batten profiles within the one frame. This allows sequencing of different batten shapes and sizes within a single panel for custom design outcomes. Compatible profiles include Knotwood’s geometric range of battens. Contact Knotwood’s technical team or download BIM content to confirm compatible profile combinations for your specific project.

Can Knotwood Geoline screens be used in sliding track or wheeled systems?

Yes. Because Geoline frames integrate with track and wheel systems rather than being fixed permanently to a substructure, individual panels can be repositioned within the track layout without structural alteration. This is a significant advantage for commercial tenancies, body corporate buildings, and hospitality environments where spatial flexibility is a priority.

Are Knotwood Geoline screens BAL-40 rated?

Yes. Geoline uses 6063 T6 extruded aluminium and is tested to fire standards including AS/NZS 3959 (BAL-40), AS/NZS 1530.1, and AS/NZS 1530.3. Structural design references include AS/NZS 1170 series, AS 1664.1, AS 1720, AS 4100, and AS 5216, consistent with the Stand-Up Batten system. For BAL-rated track and wheel system installations, confirm full system compliance with Knotwood’s technical team.

Is BIM content available for the Knotwood Geoline system?

Yes. Knotwood Geoline has BIM content available through IGS BIM Solutions, including Revit families, advanced materials, custom appearance assets, and a virtual showroom. This allows architects, interior designers, and specifiers to incorporate Geoline panels directly into project documentation. Bulk download options are available; contact Knotwood for access.

How are fixings concealed in the Knotwood Geoline system?

The Geoline system uses concealed fixing throughout. Batten profiles are secured within the frame, and all fixing hardware is hidden behind the frame structure, producing a clean face with no visible screws or brackets. This finish is consistent whether the panels are installed in fixed or track-mounted configurations.

What customisation options are available for Knotwood Geoline screen panels?

Geoline panels can be customised across three dimensions: spacing between battens (to adjust privacy and ventilation), sequencing of different batten shapes and sizes within the frame, and colour selection from Knotwood’s timber grain finish range. Multiple timber look colours can be mixed within a single panel for a dynamic, realistic timber appearance suited to high-end residential and commercial projects.

Features

Overview

Geoline is Knotwood’s aluminium geometric screen channel system. Genuine Square, Rectangle and Trapezoid profiles slide into a U-channel frame, alternated with spacers for even, consistent intervals, giving privacy screens, fencing, gates and balustrades a bold, architectural finish that’s simple to install.

Sizes & Options

Take a Closer Look

Channel

The U-channel fixes top and bottom first, sized to the profile width, then each geometric profile slides in and is fixed to the channel with a spacer alongside to hold the interval. Close open slots or ends with matching infills.

Casa Clisby Way

Knotwood Grey Ash screening contribute to this balance. Used across the exterior, the timber-look aluminium elements introduce a softer, natural texture against the home’s crisp masonry forms.

FAQs

What is the Knotwood Geoline geometric screen system?

Geoline is Knotwood’s aluminium geometric screen system, a channel-and-spacer frame that holds genuine Square, Rectangle and Trapezoid profiles for privacy screens, fencing, gates and balustrades.

What shapes and sizes does the Geoline geometric screen use?

Geoline’s geometric profiles come in three shapes: Square (50 x 50mm, 65 x 65mm, 100 x 100mm), Rectangle (50 x 25mm, 100 x 50mm) and Trapezoid (50 x 50mm, 100 x 50mm).

Can different batten shapes be combined within a single Geoline frame?

Yes. The Channel and Fence configurations both support mixing Square, Rectangle and Trapezoid profiles within the same run, alternated with spacers to hold consistent intervals. For project-specific combinations, contact our technical team or download the BIM content from our resources section to confirm compatibility.

Can Geoline panels be repositioned within a sliding track or wheeled layout?

The answer is fine, but it does not answer the question currently above it. “Can Geoline panels be repositioned within a sliding track or wheeled layout?” asks about moving panels within a frame, and the answer describes a sliding gate. Changing the question is the smaller fix.

What applications suit the Geoline geometric screen?

The Geoline geometric screen suits privacy screens and feature walls with a design-forward look, fencing and boundary treatments, pedestrian and sliding gates, and balustrades, all using the same channel-and-spacer framing method. It works for both trade and homeowner projects where the screen or boundary element is expected to contribute to the overall design as well as its primary function.

Does Geoline provide privacy as well as a design feature?

Yes. Privacy depends on profile orientation, spacing and viewing angle. Spacer sizes of 8mm, 16mm and 24mm are available on the Balustrade configuration for a range of coverage options.

How does Geoline compare with Geofix and Stand-Up Battens?

All three share the same aluminium construction, concealed fixings and architectural-grade finishes as the wider Knotwood range, including our aluminium battens. Geoline is distinguished by its geometric profile and channel-and-spacer framing, chosen for its design-forward, contemporary look across screens, fencing, gates and balustrades. Geofix is the structural system in the range, engineered for load-bearing fencing, gates and facade screening. Stand-Up Battens create a vertical linear screen pattern suited to privacy screens and boundary fencing.

Can the Geoline geometric screen be used for fencing, gates and balustrades?

Yes. Geoline extends across five confirmed configurations, Channel for screens, Fence, Pedestrian Gate, Sliding Gate, and Balustrade, each with its own installation guide.

Is the Geoline geometric screen non-combustible?

Geoline is non-combustible and tested to AS 1530.1 and AS/NZS 1530.3 for combustibility and early fire hazard properties. Bushfire construction is assessed against AS 3959 using the Bushfire Attack Level for your site, and compliance is determined by the assembly rather than the material alone. Send us your BAL rating and the application and our technical team will confirm what we can supply.

What material is the Geoline geometric screen made from?

The Geoline geometric screen is manufactured from 6063 T6 extruded aluminium, the same alloy used across the Knotwood range.

What structural standards does Geoline meet?

Geoline references the structural design standards that apply to the assembly, including the AS/NZS 1170 series for structural actions, AS/NZS 1664.1 for aluminium structures, and AS 1720.1, AS 4100 and AS 5216 where the supporting posts or fastenings are timber, steel or concrete. Which apply depends on what the screen is fixed to and what it has to carry, so send us your detail and our technical team will confirm.

How are fixings concealed in the Geoline geometric screen?

Across every configuration, profiles and slats fix into a U-channel frame with fixing hardware sitting behind or within the channel rather than on the visible face. Spacers between each profile also help conceal the fixing points, producing a clean finish whether the run is a fixed screen, fence, gate or balustrade.
