Fixed Louvre System		Continue-line Louvre System

The Stormline Inlet and Outlet louvres are designed and manufactured by Ventrite International and offers a natural ventilation function.

Any industrial engineered ventilation scheme is incomplete without adequate provision to replace the air exhausted. Failure to provide replacement air will result in an inefficient ventilation system.

Although doors and windows can be incorporated into a design, they are not a reliable source of air inlet and it is therefore necessary to calculate the number of louvred openings, which must be correctly positioned to ensure that the ventilation equipment is fully effective.

The design features of our adjustable air inlet louvres in the open position are greater than our fixed louvre type, and are also capable of being closed by manual or automatic control mechanisms.

When closed they completely cut off the supply of air through this source. We regard Stormline adjustable louvres as standard equipment for most industrial ventilation schemes in the African climate.

The general design requirement of any fixed inlet is that it shall have as great a clear opening as possible. However, such an inlet is not satisfactory unless it is also capable of denying entrance to rain in any wind. Our Stormline fixed louvred inlet satisfies both these requirements.

Units can be designed in sizes suitable for most schemes and can be installed in any type of wall or cladding.

This is a continuous horizontal louvre panel of any length and height. By virtue of its unbroken lines, it combines an attractive appearance with a large area of opening for passage of air. The narrow profile, concealed support mullions, joined louvre blades and the availability of corner sections, present the appearance of an unbroken line of louvre, regardless of the panel size or shape.

The louvres are supplied and packaged in a knocked-down "kit-form" and the components will have to be assembled on site by qualified installers.

The louvres will require a supporting structural framework around the perimeter of the opening of sufficient strength to provide adequate support to the louvre installation.

The dimensions of the openings will have to be accurately measured prior to commencing with manufacturing.

Installed frequently as an architectural feature, it is ideal for the traditional use of louvred ventilators in protecting the intake and exhaust openings of air conditioning and ventilation systems. It has also proved very popular for use as screen waling, particularly on multi-storey car parks and office blocks.
