The Louvreclad Altura Series® are extruded aluminium vertical chevron louvres engineered for high performance. They are well-suited for commercial plant room enclosures that demand maximum airflow, effective rain defence, and zero-vision screening.
Performance
Achieves up to Class B 98% rain defence with Class 1 aerodynamics. 145mm and 300mm louvres offer 60%-80% free open area, ideal for high ventilation needs.
Aesthetics
Zero vision screening with 145mm and 300mm chevron louvres. Available in powder-coated or anodised finishes, assembled as panels or continuous louvres.
Design
Engineered for large plant screens, with 62.5mm and 100mm blade pitches. Certified to AS/NZS 4740 and AS/NZS 1170, supporting spans up to 1700mm and lengths up to 6000mm.
Versatility
Also offered in horizontal configuration for versatile design applications, maintaining high performance in both orientations.

Selecting the right louvreinvolves these steps.
To select the right performance louvre for your project design: 1) The mechanical engineer defines the required volume flow rate (m ³/s) for mechanical plant or passive ventilation dictated by the mechanical equipment behind the louvres. 2) Mechanical engineer defines the maximum allowable pressure drop across a louvre before fan performance suffers. 3) The architect and engineer then balance the louvre façade area (m2) against the pressure drop requirements, required rain resistance, and aesthetics to get a mutually workable outcome. 4) Finally you can then specify the louvre that works for your design aesthetically and achieves the performance classification required for both aerodynamics and rain defence using the Australian Standard AS4740:2000 classification system. Please note: louvre performance is proportional to the design airflow. For example, the higher the air velocity, the lower the rain defence.
