Architectural aluminium louvre system for screening, ventilation and weather performance. 50mm pitch system providing increased visual screening with controlled airflow.
Application
- Façade screening where increased visual obscuration is required
- Plant screening and rooftop plant enclosures requiring concealment of services
- Service yards and back-of-house areas where equipment screening is a priority
- Building façades requiring controlled airflow with enhanced visual coverage
- Commercial and industrial developments where screening and aesthetics are key design drivers
- Applications where reduced visual permeability is preferred compared to more open louvre systems
Description
Aquarius X-LINE 50 is an architectural aluminium louvre system designed for façade screening, ventilation and weather protection. The system provides increased visual screening and a more closed façade appearance, while maintaining controlled airflow performance.
The 50mm blade pitch offers a tighter louvre arrangement, improving visual obscuration and screening capability. This makes it well suited to applications where concealment of plant or services is a key design requirement.
Louvre blades are formed from extruded aluminium profiles and fixed to concealed vertical support mullions, creating a continuous and uniform façade appearance. Proprietary blade geometries are used to optimise performance while maintaining consistent visual alignment.
The system is available as a single bank arrangement as standard, with an optional double bank configuration incorporating a chevron blade profile to provide enhanced rain defence where increased weather performance is required.
Performance characteristics, including airflow and rain defence, have been independently tested by BSRIA, with data available to support specification.
A full range of accessories is available, including bird guards, insect mesh, security mesh, security bars, intumescent dampers and blanking panels, allowing the system to be tailored to project-specific requirements.
All Aquarius™ louvre systems are available with a range of standard and bespoke perimeter framework options, ensuring full integration with the building envelope and a complete weathered interface.
Systems can be supplied as factory-assembled modules or in kit form for in-situ assembly, providing flexibility to suit site constraints and installation preferences.
