Louvers
A louver or louvre is a window blind or shutter with horizontal slats that are angled to admit light and air, but also designed to keep out rain, direct sunshine, and noise from entering the premises.
Louvers are made of aluminum, metal, wood, or glass. They may be opened and closed with a metal lever, or by other operable method.
RESCO'S industrial natural ventilation suite of products include Static Gravity Roof vents,Pressure regulating roof vents,Explosion proof wall vents and Bespoke solar shading louvre system design and manufactured to dedicated architectural requirements.
With the global requirement to achieve drastic reductions of carbon dioxide emissions and the consequent requirement to improve the energy efficiency of all kinds of buildings, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for natural ventilation products.
Louvers are in the standard and smooth-flow systems which offer a range of high performance extruded aluminium louvres with individual features to suit installation into architectural cladding, curtain walling, masonry and integrated facades.
The systems can be provided in the following formats:
Interlocking Panels Unique panel design with an interlock to suit modular cladding systems. Factory assembled interlocking panels supplied up to 6.0m long and 1.2m high.
Continuous Louvres are supplied in sub-assembled format for rapid assembly on site. The system includes louvre blades up to 6.0m long and support mullions fitted with metal clips. Continuous louvre screens can be tailored to suit any application.
Modular Louvres can be supplied in factory assembled panels to suit pre-prepared structural openings.
Louvred Doors Standard and smooth flow doors are available in a wide range of sizes and finishes. Doors can be supplied in both single and double format.
Blade Positioning and Integrity The louvre pitch, i.e. the vertical spacing between the blades, can be either 50mm, 60mm, 80mm or 100mm, and are available in single, double or triple pass configurations. Double and triple pass specifications have additional sets of blades on the opposite plane mounted behind the exterior facing louvres. This gives enhanced weatherability performance according to need.
The louvre blades are manufactured from the highest quality extruded aluminium. The system has no plastic clips or fixings (commonly prone to vibration, shrinkage, cracking or failure) thereby offering a long performance life with minimal maintenance.
Solar Shading A full range of standard and bespoke solar shading is available in both formats. Louvre blades are supported from clips on mullions running out from the building. The shading provided and the subsequent effect on the environment within the building can be assessed.
