Series HPL80 - Ultra High Performance Weather Louvres
Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
High performance aluminium weather louvre.
Application
Suitable for external use and intended for installations demanding unimpeded ventilation.
Description
The HPL80 louvre is an extremely high-performance weather louvre, intended for installations demanding unimpeded ventilation, without the risk of water ingress. Through its use of the ‘Air-Bypass’ blade design, never-before-seen levels of performance for a horizontally bladed weather louvre are achieved when tested against BS EN 13030:2001, the most widely used weather louvre test standard in Europe.
The HPL80 can be used as a standalone product, or as part of a larger assembly, for example as part of a bespoke natural ventilation system comprising other products from the wider HVC range.
Features and benefits:
- Extremely high weather performance.
- Class A2 performance up to 4.0 m/s (HPL80 with insect mesh) and Class A2 up to 2.5 m/s (HPL80 with bird mesh).
- No compromise between high airflow and high levels of rain rejection.
- 'Air-Bypass' twin blade system.
- Available in standard louvre or penthouse (turret) louvre formats.
- Natural ventilation systems and integrated louvre and volume control damper ‘combination units’ also available.
- Large 80 mm blade pitch, resulting in improved aesthetics on larger units where rival products with smaller pitches can look cramped.
- Anti-cascade channels positioned on the leading edge of each front blade catch and channel away water, eliminating the problem of water cascading down from blade to blade.
- Concealed side drainage channels quickly and effectively channel water down from the blade pack, onto the bottom frame where it is ejected through the face of the louvre.
- UK patent application pending.
