Classifications based on testing to EN 13030.
Features & Advantages
- Complex extruded blade design in a vertical configuration for maximum rain defence performance
- Multiple channels in blades and other vertical components to collect and drain water from the louvred area
- Interlocking visible mullions, to align with other façade elements; if preferred, invisible vertical joint detail can be achieved
- Tested to EN 13030 and AMCA-certified for proven performance
- RC2 security-rated option is available
- For applications requiring blast-resistant performance, refer to model BLV-5709
- Optional glazing frames allow easy integration into curtain walling or glazed façades
- Supplied to site as pre-fabricated modules for efficient installation
- Sightproof design
Specification Calculators
We've built 2 tools to help you with your specification process. One to help you calculate pressure drop for your chosen CS Louvre model, the other to help you calculate the area of louvre required for your project.

Guidance
The principal reason for using louvres is to allow the movement of air. But, louvre specification is a balance between form and function, with louvred façade appearance playing an important part in the selection process.
