Features & Advantages
- Complex extruded blade design in vertical arrangement, for maximum rain defence performance
- Channels in louvre blades and vertical components, to collect and drain water from the louvred area
- Interlocking visible mullions, to align with other façade elements; if preferred, invisible vertical joint detail can be achieved
- Delivered to site as pre-fabricated modules, for efficient installation
- Blast resistant option available
- Optional glazing frames, for easy integration into curtain walling or glazing
- Sightproof design
Specification Calculators
We've built 2 tools to help you with your specification process. One to help you calculate pressure drop for your chosen CS Louvre model, the other to help you calculate the area of louvre required for your project.

Specification
Guidance
The principal reason for using louvres is to allow the movement of air. But, louvre specification is a balance between form and function, with louvred façade appearance playing an important part in the selection process.
