Introduction<br />
Naco have for many years has been<br />
a leader in the design and<br />
manufacture of single and double<br />
glazed louvres, external metal louvres,<br />
solar control sunbreakers and<br />
sunscreens.<br />
This comprehensive range has now<br />
been expanded to include the sight<br />
proof vertical bladed <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre<br />
(Type SLV) which provides exceptional<br />
resistance to wind driven rain.<br />
Horizontal bladed versions (Type SLH<br />
and SLH-S) are also available to<br />
compliment this high performance<br />
range of weatherproof louvres.<br />
The Naco <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre is available<br />
from <strong>Actionair</strong> as well as from Naco<br />
(see page 7 for Customer Service<br />
Office details).<br />
The new design of the SLV <strong>Storm</strong><br />
Louvre has brought an advanced<br />
technology to metal louvre systems,<br />
where internal building ‘dry areas’ are<br />
essential.<br />
The remarkable performance<br />
provided by the SLV <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre is<br />
due to extensive research and<br />
development in the blade profile,<br />
which allows air to pass, whilst<br />
diverting and capturing water<br />
particles, thus preventing water<br />
ingress even under the most extreme<br />
conditions. Previously, conventional<br />
methods of preventing water ingress<br />
have been achieved by utilising<br />
double or triple bank louvre systems.<br />
Now with SLV <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre, this can<br />
be attained in a single bank, single<br />
frame style, with superior efficiency<br />
and cost effective performance.<br />
The innovative vertical blade<br />
arrangement provides a significant<br />
alternative to the normal concept of<br />
louvre systems. Not only offering<br />
advanced weather protection, but<br />
allowing the designer the freedom to<br />
exploit vertical dimensions within<br />
ventilation systems.<br />
The Naco SLV <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre range<br />
has undergone extensive and<br />
vigorous development testing in<br />
accordance with the HEVAC / draft<br />
European Standard for weather louvre<br />
performance.<br />
SLH and SLH-S <strong>Storm</strong> Louvre<br />
versions provide a far superior barrier<br />
to water ingress than the<br />
conventional Z type louvres, whilst<br />
allowing good airflow characteristics.<br />
<strong>Actionair</strong> / Naco<br />
Ruskin Air Management is a new and<br />
powerful force in the world of air<br />
distribution and fire and smoke<br />
control. The company was formed in<br />
January 2000 by the joining together<br />
of <strong>Actionair</strong> and Air Diffusion. Naco, a<br />
division of Air Diffusion, has for many<br />
years specialised in the design,<br />
development and production of<br />
louvres.<br />
Under the Ruskin Air Management<br />
banner each individual division, whilst<br />
benefiting from an interchange of<br />
information and investment from<br />
shared technology and marketing<br />
resources, will continue to trade in<br />
their own distinctive styles,<br />
maintaining continuity in product<br />
range and customer service.<br />
This has enabled <strong>Actionair</strong> to<br />
introduce the innovative Naco <strong>Storm</strong><br />
<strong>Louvres</strong> (Types SLV and SLH in<br />
singular modular format) to H and V<br />
markets as part of its product<br />
portfolio of fire/smoke/air control<br />
dampers, fire /smoke control systems<br />
and fan coil units.<br />
Naco are able to offer a first class<br />
service, including fitting, for multibank<br />
storm louvres, as well as their<br />
comprehensive range of louvre<br />
window systems / external metal<br />
louvres / penthouse louvres / louvre<br />
doors / louvred access panels /<br />

Weatherbeta 24<br />
Double glazed louvre window<br />
Offering all the benefits of louvre<br />
window design, coupled with greatly<br />
improved thermal efficiency and<br />
security, Weatherbeta 24 now offers<br />
an unrivalled package in louvre<br />
technology.<br />
Windows can be operated by<br />
hand/pole or be fitted with linear<br />
motors or with fail safe motors for<br />
connection to building management<br />
systems.<br />
Available in one, two, three or four<br />
panel construction with integral<br />
mullions, or with coupling mullions<br />
and transoms to form composite<br />
units.<br />
Weatherbeta 24 is available in natural<br />
anodised, a range of RAL polyester<br />
colours or bronze anodised.<br />
Glazing is with 24mm sealed double<br />
glazed units which can incorporate a<br />
wide variety of glass type.<br />
Glass is supplied for site glazing.<br />
Tape gasket is fitted to the external<br />
side of the glazing profiles. Internal<br />
wedge gasket is supplied loose for<br />
site fitting by the glazier.<br />
Windows are suitable for fitting direct<br />
to structure or into many curtain<br />
wall/window systems.<br />

Weatherbeta<br />
Single glazed louvre windows<br />
Our architectural range of single<br />
glazed louvres is well established in<br />
many parts of the world and<br />
applications include high tech<br />
buildings, hospitals, universities,<br />
domestic dwellings and sheltered<br />
accommodation.<br />
Weatherbeta is an elegant quality<br />
engineered product which combines<br />
a strong aluminium frame system with<br />
ventilating blade holders produced<br />
from precision injection moulded<br />
polypropylene material.<br />
The bladeholders incorporate<br />
continuous fins which interlock and<br />
seal to the full height of the glass and<br />
provide an effective wiping action seal<br />
on the jambs. Ventilating blades are<br />
operated by an overcentre locking<br />
handle which ensures that when closed<br />
glass to glass seal is maintained.<br />
Operation can be by hand/pole or<br />
with electric motors, failsafe actuators<br />
or by our AOW (automatically opening<br />
window) system.<br />
Available in RAL polyester colours,<br />
natural anodised and bronze<br />
anodised, Weatherbeta retains its<br />
market lead in single glazed louvre<br />
design and is commonly fitted within<br />
a wide variety of building structures<br />
and window/glazing systems.<br />
Insect screens are available and are<br />
normally fitted externally with simple<br />
clip fixings.
ilable from<br />
External metal louvres<br />
From special applications to simple<br />
screen work, the Naco external metal<br />
louvre range provides a wide variety<br />
of styles in both standard,<br />
performance and sight proof louvres<br />
together with movable blade<br />
applications.<br />
Our design team can match your<br />
requirements in louvre style, finish and<br />
colour and enable you to create a<br />
pleasing architectural feature as well<br />
as a practical ventilation design.<br />
Produced from aluminium extrusions<br />
we offer 50, 75 and 100 series<br />
standard louvres together with our 75<br />
performance series and sight proof<br />
louvre.<br />
Within the range are single and<br />
double leaf doors opening in/out.<br />
A range of blanking plates or<br />
insulated panels may be fitted to the<br />
rear of the louvre to suit applications<br />
on to brick/block walls or where the<br />
non active part of the louvre screen<br />
requires a better degree of insulation.<br />

Sunbreakers/Sunscreens<br />
We offer ellipsoid blade sunbreakers,<br />
both fixed and movable, for vertical or<br />
horizontal applications.<br />
The energy efficiency of many<br />
buildings can be enhanced by the<br />
efficient use of solar control screens.<br />
The naco sunbreaker has been<br />
designed to allow the infiltration of<br />
light to be easily and comfortably<br />
regulated from within.<br />
Alternatively components from our<br />
metal louvre system can be used to<br />
provide conventional vertical or<br />
horizontal screens.<br />
Sunbreakers are produced from<br />
aluminium profiles and movable units<br />
rotate on a rigid fixed axle fitted to the<br />
top and bottom of the frame profiles.<br />
Operation can be by hand or by<br />
electric motor and the control system<br />
can be linked to remote control<br />
sensors.<br />
Sunscreens are generally purpose<br />
made to suit the particular design<br />
requirement. Screens can be fitted to<br />
support structure provided by others<br />
or may be designed with brace bars<br />
and wall brackets are needed.<br />
Ellipsoid sunbreakers and sunscreens<br />
are available in RAL polyester colours<br />
while in addition suncreens are also<br />
available in natural anodised or<br />
bronze anodised.<br />
