Selecting
your Louvres
|
In selecting your
louvres, consider the following:
-
Select wind
loading and water rating. You may need to consult your local authority
and refer to the relevant Australian
Standards.
-
Choose the frame
type (Surround Frame or Louvre Component System) and width (131mm
or 52mm).
Choose the clip size (102mm or 152mm wide).
-
Choose the blade
material. Here you will consider privacy, views, heat control (e.g.,
tinted glass) and visual appeal.
Toughened glass will be needed if you have a floor-mounted assembly
and certain other situations.
-
Find the size
frame you require.
-
Add reveals,
security and/or screening and coupling of units, if required
