Screens

For further details view the Breezway Design Manual.

Size Options

Altair Louvre Windows are custom manufactured to order, meaning there is a wide flexibility in sizes available. Please speak to your local window manufacturer for advice on your specific circumstances.

Heights
Standard heights are based off the chosen blade height of 102mm and 152mm. *Recommended Option*
Off Standard heights are available for single glazed Altair Louvres but will add cost to your window and result in a fixed louvre blade to act as a filler piece. The type of window frame chosen will affect the standard heights. See more in the TAB section below.

Widths
There are no standard louvre blade or louvre bay widths for single glazed Altair Louvres. However most bay widths are between 600mm to 900mm wide, or up to 1200mm if using the Stronghold System.

Standard widths apply for double glazed IGLU System. Please refer to the IGLU System page for more information.

Breezway louvres fixed blade
The tabs provide a range of technical information relating to louvre sizes.

For further details view the Breezway Component System Sizes in the Breezway Design Manual.

While Altair Louvre Windows can be manufactured in any size specified, the wind and water rating for the building project will affect the maximum allowable window height and bay width.

Standard Heights are measured from the lowest visible metal to the uppermost visible metal of the frame and excludes fins.

Off-Standard Heights are available but this will add cost and result in a fixed louvre blade to act as a filler piece. i.e. Greater than 5mm or less than a Standard Height. Off-Standard heights within 5mm of a Standard Height will not have a fixed top blade.

Please refer to the Breezway Design Manual for Off-Standard Height restrictions when specifying the Powerlouvre System or the Stronghold System. Please note: Off-Standard heights are not available for the IGLU System.

Louvre /fixed lite combination bays are available.

Notes for Powerlouvre System Standard Widths:
Minimum Bay Width for 2-9 blade high Powerlouvre Windows = 400mm
