106 mm deep, high-performance rain defence louvres with vertical blades, offering maximum protection against wind-driven rain penetration and good airflow. Classified as A 3 up to 3.5 m/s.
Application
Rain defence louvres, for use where:
- Reliable resistance to wind-driven rain is a priority.
- Using a large plenum behind louvres is impractical due to cost or space considerations.
- Sensitive equipment will be housed close to the louvre system, for example in data centres.
- Louvres are to be fitted into shallow openings, curtain walling or glazing system.
