Specifications

Due to the potential unique and high performance design requirements, a bespoke specification will be created by a mechanical or facade engineer consultant.

When integrated with Thermosash suites and referencing the inclusion we recommend using Masterpec 4211TS Curtainwalls and 4521TS Commercial Windows.

Please call us to discuss your project early in conceptual development.

NB: Specify Double or triple bank - when a greater degree of weathering proofing is required.

Scope of use

These louvres are commonly specified as fresh air inlets for mechanical plant and mechanical plant screening.

40mm Single Bank - integrated into doors. Single banks are not waterproof, and when outdoors, will not offer a dry environment within the clad space.

100mm Single Bank - These louvres are commonly specified as fresh air inlets for mechanical plant and mechanical plant screening. Single banks are not waterproof and will not offer a dry environment within the clad space.

100mm Double Bank - These louvres are commonly specified as fresh air inlets for mechanical plant and mechanical plant screening. Double banks will offer a greater degree of weather proofing than single banks.

156mm Triple Bank - These louvres are commonly specified as fresh air inlets for mechanical plant and mechanical plant screening. A Triple bank will offer a greater degree of weather proofing than single bank.

We’ve also provided ongoing reinvestment in the training of our people to ensure lean process, IT Systems, material handling machinery and transport logistics equipment, as well as design office and factory production process improvements. We are able to offer a world class company with manufacturing facilities in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
