Common questions
What do rain classes A, B, C and D mean?
BS EN 13030 rain classes show how much rain passes through a louvre at a given air speed. Class A is best and class D lowest. One louvre can have different classes at different air speeds, so always read the full table.
What is free area?
Free area is the percentage of clear opening through which air can pass. A large free area does not guarantee easy airflow, because blade shape also creates resistance. Resistance is described by the discharge and entry coefficients.
Why are acoustic louvres deeper?
Acoustic louvres reduce sound with absorbent material such as mineral wool inside the blades. Deeper blades give sound a longer path through the absorber, so reduction is greater. Airflow is also more restricted as a result.
