Application

Description

Louvre system comprising of a single bank of louvre blades designed to provide visual screening with a continuous appearance, but not weather protection.


Features and benefits:

  • Variable blade pitch ranging from 50–140 mm.
  • The Z-profile blades can be installed angled upwards (inverted) or downwards according to direction of view.
  • Louvres are mounted on concealed mullions for a continuous appearance, and can form an architectural feature of a building.
  • Mitre cuts available maintaining the continuous appearance.
  • All components are extruded aluminium for long life with good corrosion resistance.
  • Blades clip in place and cannot be removed without a special tool, so the system is suitable for use in publicly accessible areas.
  • The system is very flexible; banks can be made to any practicable size or shape.
  • Available in a range of configurations with different mullion profiles and backings to suit the application e.g. blanking plates or mesh.
  • Integrated single and double door sets are available or the doors can be a stand-alone component.
  • Not suitable for weather protection.
