Fixed Ventilation Louvre - 'AMF 120' Single Stage
The AMF 120 is fixed single stage ventilation louvre with a 120 mm blade pitch and folded sheet metal construction. With its 4-fold Blade design the AMF 120 louvre provides a cost efficient alternative to the more elaborate Blades.
The AMF 120 louvre system offers appealing aesthetic qualities and greater design freedom, as well as generous free air flow whilst providing a degree of weather protection suitable for most non-critical applications.
Base materials can be aluminium, steel, Zincalume steel or stainless steel. Other base materials can be provided on request. The perimeter frames (Head, Sill and Jambs) and Blades are assembled using stainless steel rivets. Blades are mounted in the horizontal plane.
For wide spans concealed mullions made from the same base material are provided on the inside face of the louvre to support Blades and ensure consistent horizontal architectural lines.
Depending on project requirements louvres are provided with standard or custom made flashings and trim angles to ensure installation is neat and tidy with weather-proof finish. Louvres can be provided with a variety of mesh options to the inner face for vermin protection and a broad range of metal finishes (refer Options below).
The AMF 120 can also be used to fabricate hinged doors to provide access to rooms or equipment where ventilation is required.
Applications
The AMF 120 is a high quality, robust, durable and functional ventilation louvre to suit air inlet or exhaust requirements for most commercial and industrial building applications.
The louvre is best suited to applications requiring good air flow and in low weather / water ingress situations. Louvre panels can be used in combination with access doors using the same base materials and Blade profile to provide a consistent architectural appearance.
The AMF 120 can also be used for screening purposes as opposed to strictly ventilation applications.
Options
- Finishes - Are dependent on base sheet metal. Aluminium is generally supplied in mill finish or powdercoated options. Zincalume is generally in natural, powdercoat or special paint finishes. Stainless steel and Colorbond require no applied finishes.
- Mesh - Available mesh materials include fibreglass, galvanised steel and stainless steel options and cover flywire, bird mesh and security applications.
