A ‘Helping Buildings to Breathe – The Design and Specification of Performance Louvres’ CPD by Construction Specialties (CS) has been recently accredited by the CPD Certification Service. The presentation has been developed for architects and contractors who want to gain an understanding of how to specify the right ventilation louvre for their building, to ensure both functional and aesthetic requirements are met.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The CPD explains why louvres are used on buildings and how their design may impact on the airflow and rain defence performance they provide. Weather louvre testing methodology and resulting classification are also discussed, to help specifiers easily compare louvre solutions available in the marketplace and choose products to suit the building’s needs.

Finally, the presentation looks at various louvre design options available to achieve a desired effect on the façade and integrate louvres with other building elements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CS has been manufacturing and selling louvres globally for nearly 70 years and offers a wide range of solutions from high performance rain defence models to simple screening louvres.

The CPD presentation can be delivered in person, or via a webinar. For further information and to book visit: https://www.c-sgroup.co.uk/resources/cpd-seminars/a-breath-of-fresh-air-the-design-and-selection-of-performance-louvres/

Global leaders in specialist building products, Construction Specialties (CS), is expanding its architectural louvre offering to help architects, contractors and engineers meet any building ventilation and design requirements.

With the introduction of new high performance rain defence and ventilation louvre options, combined with more than 60 years global experience in the manufacture and sale of louvres, CS can offer expert advice and support, in every aspect of louvre specification.

CS’ rain defence louvres are designed to offer specifiers the best combination of airflow, rain defence and spatial efficiency, whilst the ventilation options allow maximum airflow and provide some rain defence.

The expanded offering also includes options allowing architects to satisfy both form and function elements of their design. PerformTM variants are installed behind attractive perforated screens, which mask their appearance. Conversely, customisable Bold LineTM models can add drama to the louvred façade with accent blades, colours, and shade.

Third party tested and classified in accordance with BS EN 13030:2001, CS louvres are evaluated on two key performance areas – their effectiveness in restricting rain penetration and their efficiency in allowing airflow in and out of a building. This makes finding the right louvre solution much simpler and gives specifiers reassurance that the louvres they specify will meet their building’s performance requirements.

 

Throughout the years, CS louvres have been successfully installed in many of the world’s most prestigious buildings, including the World Trade Center in New York and more recently in Manchester’s Engineering Campus and Noris Network Data Centres in Germany.
