The Opensky louvre vent is a natural and smoke ventilator perfect for comfort ventilation or as part of an N-SHEV (Natural, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation) or UniForce mechanical smoke extraction systems.
The louvre vent is maintenance-free, compact and lightweight and is available with a variety of control options and finishes. In the event of a fire, the thermal release system triggers automatically and independently of all other control mechanisms.
The Opensky louvre vent has been tested to BS EN 12101 – Part 2: 2003: Specification for natural and heat exhaust ventilators.
The louvre vent blades can be made of polycarbonate or aluminium with the ventilator side panels reinforced by internal longitudinal sections. The casing is made from corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, AlMg3.
Due to the variable unit dimensions and the adaptor flange range, the louvre vent can be easily installed in all customary roof and wall constructions, also as a natural ventilation and smoke extraction system. Additionally, the vent can be fitted with insect screens.
The louvre vent base is designed to be mounted on the top of a pre-constructed upstand and shall be supplied with a 30mm turndown and a 250mm flange to allow for curbs with added insulation.
