Powder coated
Louvre assemblies and
flashings can be powder
coated matt polyester to BS
and RAL colours.
Anodising
Louvres and flashings may be
natural or colour anodised
within commercial colour
tolerances which will be
agreed for each project.

Mill finish
Louvres and flashings may
be supplied in mill finish and
while the integrity of the
material is unaffected, the
visual appearance will be
impaired due to the natural
oxidisation process which will
occur on mill finish aluminium,
therefore painting is
recommended to enhance the
finished product.
General construction
Louvres are produced in
factory assembled panels for
coupling into final assemblies
on site. The normal maximum
panel size is approximately
1.5m x 2.5m and horizontal or
vertical louvre assemblies will
normally be supplied within
these limitations. Larger
shaped or circular louvre
assemblies will be
manufactured in panel sizes.
SLV & SLH panels are
produced in 2m2 units for
coupling on site. Larger louvre
assemblies may require
intermediate steel support
rails which would normally be
provided by the general
contractor in consultation with
our design office.
Classification from design tests carried out by BSRIA to the HEVAC technical specification
now developed and published as BS EN ISO 13030.
