"Green" aluminium isn't about the metal itself because aluminium is always the same element, but how it is made.
Free area is a rough proxy, while actual performance is governed by pressure loss.
If you need airflow and weather protection, drainable louvres are designed to manage wind-driven rain by capturing and directing water away.
A single-stage drainable louvre relies on a single line of defence, whereas a multi-stage drainable louvre adds extra layers of rain defence.
The short answer is yes. Ventuer provides a range of economic and effective screening louvres such as the VL-50CM, VL-100CM, VL-70S, VL-55S.
It's not always straightforward as ventilation louvres are an intentional opening, however compliance is achieved through water management rather than complete watertightness.
In a storm the rain doesn't fall straight down, it comes in sideways. That's why blade shape and spacing are important.
Our louvres vary in size and weight, find the default 1m² reference chart here.
A drainable louvre is designed to manage wind-driven rain by capturing water and safely draining it away from the building.
A standard ventilation louvre is designed to move air efficiently, but acoustically it's effectively transparent. An acoustic louvre is specifically designed to do both, but with some trade-offs.
The Ventüer louvre calculator does account for the pressure loss created by secondary support members, including dead blades and other inactive areas.
Yes - Ventüer offer shop drawings that consider water management, façade integration, seismic movement and more.
Wind-induced noise isn't always predictable, but with the right engineering and full-scale wind tunnel testing, potential issues can be identified and addressed before installation.
Whether it's a circular plant room opening, a raking façade or an existing opening being retrofitted, architectural designs don't always suit a standard rectangular louvre. The good news is they don't have to.
The chosen finish for an aluminium louvre affects more than just the appearance. Colour requirements, environmental exposure, durability and long term maintenance can all influence which option is most suitable.
In simple terms the size of the openings are very different.
Acoustic louvres might look simple from the outside, but there's a little more going on inside the blade.
Yes, the ventilation and acoustic louvre range can be manufactured into doors.
