Kerr Glass Plant, USA

Robertson Series 3000 Operating Louvres are factory assembled units available in a wide range of materials.

Design Features

The wide selection of colours and materials available enables the architect to blend the louvre with other building materials. Robertson Operating Louvres are infinitely controllable between fully open and fully closed positions providing the most effective form of controlled air replacement. Their simple, rugged design gives minimum static pressure drop loss when in the open position, yet offers excellent resistant against weather penetration. To minimise maintenance, the louvre blades pivot on nylon brushes. These louvres are designed as single units for small openings or multiple units for large opening situations. Robertson Operating Louvres can be operated singly or in banks.
