<strong>Storm</strong> <strong>Louvres</strong><br />
2<br />
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 />
