Acoustic Louvres

The Crossflow ALS (CALS) range is a fabricated acoustic louvre designed for commercial projects where reduction in sound transmission is required whilst maintaining weathered ventilation. The CALS louvre is suitable for all applications and can be both vertically and horizontally mounted into pre-formed structural opes. The modular units can be manufactured to suit specific dimensions on site. Each louvre blade is filled with a sound absorption mineral wool to achieve the required acoustic performance. They are quick to install with all fixings being grade A4 stainless steel and are virtually maintenance free
