Introduction

Continuous fixed blade louvre with an operable louvre mounted at the rear. Principally used in situations where a controllable air inlet/outlet is required without the louvre’s external appearance being affected. The unit is suitable for situations where sight penetration is not desirable, enhanced weather resistance is required or alternatively where security is a consideration.

Materials/Finishes

Aerodynamic Testing

The unit was subjected to a series of independently controlled tests to determine the aerodynamic performance of the design.

Aerodynamic co-efficient – 0.15

Controls

Numerous control options are available including; hand control (friction loaded), cable, pneumatic, electromagnet, electric actuator, etc.

Certain control options can incorporate a range of temperature rated fusible links if desired.

An additional option includes connection to smoke detection or building management systems when fitted in conjunction with electric and pneumatic control systems.
