Coolite Operable Louvre

COOLITE operable louvres are designed for situations requiring economical wall ventilation with high air-flow requirements when open and weather resistant unobtrusive architectural finishes when closed.

Louvres are manufactured using sheet metal perimeter frames. Blades frames are constructed from galvabond RHS with a large choice of profiled cladding materials. Blades pivot around a proprietary nylon bush and pivot pin arrangement and are operated via a control arm and link bar system.
