DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Aerobrise Louvre Systems are engineered for a
variety of applications, with support structures
that can be customised to fully integrate into
building architecture.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Effective shading performance: the exterior
Aerobrise Louvre System provides optimised
passive solar control by reducing heat and
eliminating glare.
The open construction of Aerobrise Louvres is
effective in allowing a natural air fl ow around
the building.
Aluminium is recyclable and made up of 50%
to 90% recycled content.
Energy effi ciency: a reduction in the demand
upon the cooling system of a building can
be achieved, decreasing energy costs and
increasing the personal comfort level.
DURABILITY
Aerobrise Louvre Systems are made from
extruded aluminium profi les with optimised
wall thicknesses, combining high strength with
corrosion resistance.
QUALITY
Hunter Douglas Limited is a quality endorsed
company, certifi ed as complying with the
requirements of AS/NZS ISO 9001.2000.

THERMAL EXPANSION
600
Aerobrise Louvres will be subject to
thermal movement and allowances
must be taken into account
for expansion and contraction.
Aluminium expands at a rate of
0.0236mm/m per 1 o C. At a 40 o C
temperature range, the louvres will
expand approximately for:
1m long – 0.94mm
2m long – 1.89mm
3m long – 2.83mm
When the Aerobrise Louvres are
in a fi xed situation between frame
members, a compressible pad should
be used between the reveal fi xing
plates and the frame at both ends.
LOUVRE ORIENTATIONS & SYSTEMS
All Aerobrise Louvre Systems can be fi xed or adjustable in horizontal or vertical confi gurations.

INSTALLATION
Aerobrise Louvre Systems give the user
options of varying the louvre spacing to
suit any required sun angle and of setting
the louvres at a variety of angles. Prefabricated
Hunter Douglas Commercial
Framing Support Systems are available
upon request, offering the user a variety
of frame types for fl exibility of choice and
application. The quick and easy installation
of the fi xed and adjustable Aerobrise Louvre
Systems requires minimum tools.
AEROBRISE FIXED LOUVRE SYSTEM
In the standard fi xed system, the louvres are
aligned at an angle of 45 o to the horizontal or
vertical. The spacing of the louvres can be varied
to suit any required sun angle, which determines
the quantity of louvres required.

AEROBRISE FIXED LOUVRES CAN BE MOUNTED IN TWO WAYS:
1. Reveal Plates: by ensuring the two sides
of the reveal plates are true to the vertical,
alignment of the louvres at 45 o to the horizontal
is achieved. The reveal plates are fi rstly fi xed
to the louvre ends with four screws and then
fi tted into a frame opening or structure with
suitable fi xings.
2. Fixing Brackets: ‘face fi xing’ or ‘side fi xing’
brackets can be used.
a. Side Fixing Brackets (45 o ): the side
fi xing bracket is mounted to the side of
the supporting frame. As with the face
fi xing bracket, the louvre can be
continuously mounted.

AEROBRISE OPERABLE LOUVRE SYSTEM
Aerobrise Louvres can be installed as a fully
adjustable, mechanically hand operated
or electrically powered system using an
actuator with various switching options.
The system can be used in both vertical and
horizontal confi gurations.
The basic principle for the mounting of
louvres and components is the same for
both orientations.
The adjustable Aerobrise Louvre System
gives the user the option of setting the
louvres at any possible angle from a fully
open to a fully closed position at any time.
Unlike the fi xed system where the louvre
spacings can be varied to achieve a specifi c
sun-angle, in the operable system the louvre
spacings are fi xed.
Note: the Aerobrise 70 Louvre can be installed as an adjustable system using a proprietary
concealed operating system within a frame. External linkages or connecting pins are hidden
from view.
