Product Overview

A CVE Shop Weather Louvre will compliment any ventilation system and is specifically designed to protect against ingress by rainwater, vermin or debris.

Weather Louvres are a very important feature of any supply or return air system. Where an external ventilation terminal is required, weather louvres are the global industry standard.

As they are almost always mounted in external positions, it is important that they blend in with the building design whilst maintaining performance.

CVE Shop Louvres have a high 50% free area and a specially designed blade profile to prevent water and vermin ingress.

Rear bird/vermin mesh is incorporated as standard but this can easily be changed for insect mesh or stainless steel to suit your project requirements.

The Aluminium Weather Louvre can also be made-to-order in sizes other than the standard sizes listed.

The smallest dimensions available are: 150mm x 150mm (W x H)

There is no limit to louvre size however large louvres over 1500mm x 1500mm may need a bigger frame or blade pitch or produced in sections and bolted together.

The standard 38mm blade pitch/32mm Frame weather louvres are normally used when the opening size is less than 1000mm square. Above this size we recommend using CVWL50 or CVWL75.

Key Product Data

Construction

Weather Louvres are constructed from extruded aluminium sections, frame 3.0mm thick, blades 2.0mm thick. Fitted as standard with rear galvanised steel bird mesh screen secured with pop rivets.

Sizing

In order to calculate the exact overall face dimensions of the louvre +55mm must be added to the nominal opening dimensions required.

Nominal Dimensions = Opening Size.

This is the number shown in the part codes e.g. CVWL38-550

For example:

CVWL38-550: The nominal opening size is 550mm x 550mm. The overall size including frame is 605mm x 605mm.

Actual Neck Size: For clearance within the aperture a standard tolerance of -5mm (2.5 mm each side) is deducted from the nominal opening size.

For example:

CVWL38-550: The nominal opening size is 550mm x 550mm. The actual neck size is 545mm x 545mm.

Finish

Standard: Standard finish for this product is RAL 9006.

Weather Louvres also available in: BS/RAL powder coated colours - please call for pricing.
