Introduction
Continuous Fixed Louvres comprises of louvre blades mounted onto vertical concealed supporting mullions. Individual modules are joined together to form banks of unlimited height and width.
Application
The continuous fixed louvre is suitable for use in commercial and industrial applications requiring large areas of louvres with a continuous unbroken appearance free of vertical lines. The louvres are offered with a range of blade pitches and can be fitted into all manner of building openings.
Can be manufactured from the same material as adjacent metal cladding to give a colour and finish match.
Weathering
Offering characteristics of typical single bank louvre systems Continuous Fixed Louvres are suitable for use in most general applications.
Sizes
Standard louvre pitches include 127mm & 95mm, however other blade pitches are available on request.
Aerodynamic Testing
The unit was subjected to a series of independently controlled tests to determine the aerodynamic performance of the design.
Aerodynamic co-efficient 127mm pitch – 0.384
Aerodynamic co-efficient 95mm pitch – 0.297
Weights and Free Areas
Dependant upon blade configuration, generally 12-17kg/m² and 45-50% free area.
