Useful for minimizing sound and light, louvers are a critical component to letting air get where it needs to go while keeping rain and other elements out. Where clean air is needed for both people and machinery, louvers will be there too.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>What is a Louver?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">A louver is a ventilation product that has been designed to allow the passage of air while preventing the passage of unwanted elements like water, dirt, and debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure class=\"image\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fawv-cdn.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fblog\u002F_transforms\u002F_blogPost\u002F8709\u002Fimage2_2022-09-26-205330_wzpw.webp\" alt=\"Aluminum Louver\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>The Design of a Louver\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Louvers used for mechanical ventilation are designed to fit in the intake or exhaust openings on a building, or sometimes they are a part of the wall structure. Typically rectangular or round in shape, the frame of the louver mounts securely to the building and consists of blades that fill in the frame. The number of blades used, their depth, and the shape of the slat are all design parameters that affect the cost and performance of the louvers.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Benefits of Fixed Louvers\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Louvers can be fixed or adjustable. When using adjustable louvers, the angle of the blades can be changed, either mechanically or with an actuator, often from a fully closed to fully open orientation. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Fixed louvers have blades that remain in a fixed position. Fixed louvers are desirable for many applications where there is no need to adjust and any adjustment might limit the louver’s performance. Fixed louvers help reduce the cost of the louver too.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Placement and Categories of Louvers\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Louvers can be used as architectural elements, for ventilation, and for acoustic purposes. Various aesthetic options are available depending on how the louvers will be used and how prominent it will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Choosing Fixed Louvers\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Choosing the right louvers for an application depends on how they will be used. Knowing the application requirements is key to deciding the correct type, depth, and blade design.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Types of Fixed Louvers\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The main types of fixed louvers are drainable and non-drainable louvers.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Drainable Louvers\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Louvers with a lip on the edge of the blade are called drainable louvers. The lip serves as a miniature gutter which collects any water that tries to enter the louver. The blade redirects the water to the frame of the louver and drains it away.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Non-drainable Louvers\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Blades without these features on the edge are considered non-drainable louvers. Water that tries to enter the louver will simply roll away and fall down the face of the louver.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Choosing Louver Depth\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Louvers come in a variety of different depths. The deeper a louver, the farther apart the blades can be spaced and the lower the pressure drop through the louver. Deeper louvers are better at keeping water out with less air resistance, but they can be more expensive. Four to six inch deep louvers tend to optimize cost and performance for many applications.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">Choosing Louver Blades\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">The blades of the louver have a huge impact on how well the louvers will perform. The style of the louver refers to the shape of the extrusion. Many different shapes or profiles are available with various performance and pressure drop parameters. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">In addition to the style, how closely packed the blades are will affect how well the louvers can keep out unwanted rain and debris. Most louvers have a free area, the area of the louver available for the passage of air, ranging from 30% to 60%. The farther apart the spacing, the less air resistance, but the easier it is for material to enter the louvers.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 dir=\"ltr\">AWV Acoustic Louvers\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">AWV offers \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fawv.com\u002Fproducts\u002Flouvers\u002Ffixed-non-drainable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14 fixed non-drainable\u003C\u002Fa> and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fawv.com\u002Fproducts\u002Flouvers\u002Ffixed-drainable\">14 fixed drainable\u003C\u002Fa>, architectural louvers in various frame depths (2 to 6-inches), blade angles, and spacing.
