Altair^® Louvre Description and Functions

Extruded “T” shaped aluminium operating bars provide a strong, non corrosive, durable and smooth operating mechanism. It also adds extra security as the bars operate to the outside of the channel at all times.

For long and maintenance free use the operating and over centre locking mechanisms are manufactured from non corrosive material, including all rivets and fasteners.

Injection moulded bearings made of acetal use the living
hinge concept to pull the louvre blade against the channel as the window is closed. This results in higher resistance to water and air. Security is now increased by interlocking teeth in the bearing retainer. (Tested to over 40,000 open/close cycles).

Clips are manufactured from UV stabilised polypropylene. The clip colour is solid throughout. Primary and secondary drainage channels within the louvre clips direct the flow of any water to the outside of the building. Colour matching is available for Breezway Standard Colour range.

Altair keylocks are zinc cast with a brushed chrome finish. The folding key design allows easy operation when installed in frames with deep jambs or reveals.

The handle is made entirely from a UV stabilised acetal. This makes it not only non corrosive, but ideal for commercial areas, as it will spring back to position, even when bent severely. For other handle options see the Altair Handles section. Colour matching is available for Breezway Standard Colour range.

The Altair Louvre channel is made from 6060-T5 extruded aluminium.

Louvre Care And Maintenance

Maintaining Aluminium Finishes
Regular maintenance of the surface finish will be necessary to reduce the rate of weathering. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environmental conditions, but as a guide should be done at 3 monthly intervals, or more frequently in aggressive coastal or industrial environments.

Remove loose deposits by gently brushing or hosing.
Clean using a sponge or soft brush and warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid cleaning agents with a caustic base, abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Rinse with clean water.
Dry with a chamois (optional).

Apply a ‘non-abrasive’ car polish to maintain the lustre of the finish (optional).

Glass Maintenance
For best results glass blades should be regularly cleaned with mild, non-abrasive detergents. Low e glass blades should be installed with the coated side facing to the inside of the building and should only be cleaned with mild, non-abrasive detergents. Abrasive detergents or cleaning tools will visibly damage the low e coating.

Louvre Maintenance
It is recommended that inspection be carried out at the time of installation and then at yearly intervals. This may be required more frequently depending upon the variation of location, and environmental conditions.

Inspection and checks

Inspect all fittings and screw fixings for firmness.
Ensure that all Stronghold System pins (if present) are firmly clicked in place.
Check the louvre clips for any degradation over time.
Check that the blade is firmly and safely positioned in the clips.
Ensure all louvre blades operate freely.
Ensure that seals are in place and clean.
The Powerlouvre^™ Window should be operated at least once per month.

Lubrication
All internal louvre operating mechanisms are prelubricated, prior to assembly, with a clear lubricant where required. Under normal conditions this will be satisfactory for the life of the window.

Plastic Maintenance
When cleaning plastic components it is recommended to be done by wetting a cloth with a neutral cleaning agent such as a car wash without wax/polymer, or alternatively a mild furniture polish. Acidic or alkaline cleaning solutions, such as vinegar, detergents and glass cleaners should be avoided.

Lock Maintenance
The lock has been designed to be maintenance free besides regular cleaning. If the lock barrel needs to be replaced, for example to change the key types, or if the lock mechanism suffers damage, please contact the window fabricator that supplied the louvre.

Selecting The Right Aluminium Finish

The aluminium components of Altair^® Louvre windows are available in three different surface finishes: anodised, standard powder coating and high performance powder coating.

Powder coatings are polyester coatings from leading powder suppliers applied to a thickness of 50 μm and anodised finishes are to a thickness of 25 μm. Over time, weathering of powder coated surfaces should be expected, resulting in a gradual change in appearance.

This will be evident in loss of gloss, chalking, colour change and erosion of the powder coatings. Selecting the right powder for the atmospheric conditions of the site and correct maintenance will be critical to the ongoing appearance of the finish.

The application of high durability powder will reduce this deterioration and is essential for severe industrial, coastal or tropical environments.

Note that industry accepted colour variation can occur during the aluminium anodising process.

Energy Efficiency

Breezway^® Altair^® Louvre Windows can help to enhance the energy efficiency and comfort of a building by offering:

Maximum ventilation
With no fixed panes and blades that open almost fully horizontally (87º) Altair Louvre Windows welcome fresh, cooling breezes. These cooling breezes reduce the need for power hungry electric air conditioning systems, thereby helping to save our fragile environment.

Tight Sealing
Altair Louvre Windows have an air infiltration rating that meets the requirements of AS2047-2014. Tight sealing reduces draughts thereby allowing heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently

Choice of Glazing
A variety of energy efficient glazing options is available to meet local requirements. For example, in cooling climates toned glass blades reduce the amount of hot sunlight that enters a building. In mixed and heating climates, the improved insulating properties of low e glass blades offer thermal performance comparable to clear double glazing.

Additional Benefits of External Screening
External screens deliver additional insulating and shading benefits to Altair Louvre Windows. The Easyscreen Altair Louvre Window is the only window system currently energy rated under the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) with permanent, externally fitted metal mesh screens. WERS ratings of screened products can be found at www.wers.net/werscontent/screened-products

Additional Benefits of the Altair Dualair Secondary Glazed Louvre System
The secondary glazing configuration of the Dualair System results in significant improvements to the thermal insulation of Dualair Window Systems due to the large air gap.

Energy ratings of most windows sold in Australia can be found in the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) website, www.awawers.net

In warm climates the shading offered by tinted glass has a positive impact on the window’s energy rating.

In cold and mixed climates the insulating properties of clear low e glass blades give comparative thermal performance to clear double glazing.

Compliance with the energy efficiency provisions of both Section J and Clause 3.12.2 of the National Construction Code is possible when Altair Louvre Windows are used appropriately.

Breezway^® Policy for Louvres Adjacent to Australian Swimming Pools

Using Altair^® Louvres Adjacent to Swimming Pools
Clause 2.6 of AS1926.1-2012 “Swimming pool safety. Part 1: Safety barriers for swimming pools” defines the requirements for windows opening directly into a pool area. Openable portions of the windows must comply with one of the following:

Be totally covered by bars or a metal screen, that are fixed to the building with fasteners that can only be removed by the use of a tool. The opening between bars and the horizontal dimensions of openings in a metal screen shall not be greater than 100mm.
Be fixed to the building with fasteners that can only be removed by use of a tool so that it will remain closed or will open to a maximum of 100mm.

A 152mm Altair Louvre Window with the Stronghold System and restricted opening to 100mm will comply with AS1926.1-2012 clause 2.6(b).
A 102mm Altair Louvre Window with the Stronghold System will comply with AS1926.1-2012 clause 2.6(b).

If compliance is required to earlier versions of AS1926 where restricted openings must also satisfy clause 3.1 then:

A 152mm Altair Louvre with the Stronghold System and restricted opening to 80mm and maximum blade length of 600mm will comply with AS1926.1-2007 clause 2.7(a)ii
A 102mm Altair Louvre with the Stronghold System, toughened glass blades and restricted opening to 80mm and a maximum blade length of 600mm will comply with AS1926.1-2007 clause 2.7(a)ii.

Fall Prevention through Openable Louvre Windows

Using Altair Louvres to Meet Fall Prevention through Openable Window Requirements
Clauses 11.3.7, 11.3.8 and D3D29 of the Building Code of Australia detail the situations in which openable windows require fall prevention measures and the requirements that windows in these situations must meet.

The following Altair Louvre Window configurations have passed testing to “AS5203:2016 – Protection of Openable Windows/Fall Prevention”:

The Altair Louvre restricted opening devices and the Stronghold System blade retention are permanent fixtures which cannot be removed, unlocked or overridden without complex tool usage (such as a drill). Products that can be unlocked or overridden with a simple tool or two handed operation, such as removing a louvre blade with coordinated two-handed operation, will also require additional barriers to 865mm.

If screens will be used to provide protection as per Clauses 11.3.7, 11.3.8 and D3D29 then the Altair Louvre Windows will not require the Stronghold System and will not require blade openings to be restricted. The window frame and securely fitted screen assembly should be tested to “AS5203:2016 – Protection of Openable Windows/Fall Prevention” to ensure that the assembly will not permit a 125mm sphere to pass through it and resist a horizontal outward force of 250N.

Balustrades
Breezway Altair Louvre products are not a balustrade system. Nor are any other window types. Balustrades are one type of barrier. Altair louvres with the Stronghold System and suitable openings are another. It is always important to ensure that a particular barrier system complies with the relevant Building Codes and associated Standards. Breezway louvres with the Stronghold System have passed testing up to 750N for AS1170.1 barrier infill loadings, making them suitable for use in the following occupancy types: A, B, E, and C3. For other occupancy types, appropriate, permanently fixed screening is recommended.

Dualair Secondary Glazed System requires both inner and outer glazing layers to be configured for compliance.

Off Standard Louvre Gallery Heights (Extended Channel)

It is recommended that, wherever possible, Altair^® Louvre Windows should be designed to a standard height. This will reduce the product cost and ensure effective opening of all blades.

In some circumstances this may not be possible. In these instances the Altair Louvre can be ordered with Extended Channel. The Extended Channel is a continuation of the channel that is cut to size, giving improved appearance an water performance in comparison to an add-on extension piece.

The Louvre is supplied with an Extended Channel that can be cut back to the required height. Note that the part to be cut down is located at the top of the gallery. All glass blades must comply with the requirements of AS1288 ”Glass in Buildings”.

Off-standard heights within 5mm of a standard height do not need a fixed blade but the shrouds of the top clips may need to be trimmed for off-standard heights between 5mm and 2mm below a standard height.
Off-standard heights that are not within 5mm of a standard height will be fitted with a top fixed blade.

For example, the louvre illustrated is ordered as 3 blade with Extended Channel. Off-standard heights are not available with the IGLU Double Glazed Louvre System or the Dualair Secondary Glazed Louvre System.

Top extension can be achieved by cutting back to required height.

Altair^® Louvre Keylock

The Altair Keylock has been designed to be inconspicuous, strong and durable.

Improved Aesthetics
Housing the lock mechanisms internally results in a low profile design. The brushed chrome finish suits all aluminium finishes.

Strong & Durable
All metal construction and housing the mechanisms internally results in a strong, highly durable lock.

Easy Operation With Deep Jambs Or Reveals
The folding key design allows easy locking and unlocking even when situated right beside deep jambs or reveals.

Maintenance Free
No onging maintenance require besides normal cleaning. Tested and passed 15,000 lock & unlock cycles.

Glass Blades

Glass Type
Glass blades must be 6mm thick and monolithic. Laminated glass should not be used due to the risk of delamination.

Breezway Toughened Glass Blades
Regular and toughened glass blades are available directly from Breezway^® Australia. Toughened glass should be specified in wet areas or areas where there is a chance of human impact as not only is toughened glass stronger but, if it does break, it produces small pieces of glass with square edges rather than jagged shards of glass which are likely to cause injury. Refer to Glass Standard AS1288 for detailed requirements.

Breezway toughened glass blades are processed to Breezway’s demanding quality specifications which produces blades with a flatness tolerance of +/– 0.35mm per metre. This exceptional flatness ensures excellent sealing and therefore improved wind and water performances. Breezway toughened glass blades are available in clear, clear low e, grey, green, satina and satinlite to allow matching to other windows.

Extruded Aluminium Blades

Refined Design
Breezway aluminium blades feature low profile weatherseals and a clean design at the top of the blade for a minimalist, modern aesthetic.

Altair^® Powerlouvre^TM System

Anticipation of needs
When paired with intelligent control systems, automated Powerlouvre Windows can be opened and closed in anticipation of the building occupant’s needs. Unlike manually operated windows which are normally opened and closed only once the building occupant has become uncomfortable.

More frequent use
With operation as simple and easy as the push of a button, Altair Powerlouvre windows will be opened and closed more frequently than windows which require more effort to operate, and therefore the benefits of the windows will be enjoyed more frequently.

Integrated Motor and Gearbox
The Altair Powerlouvre Window incorporates a motor and gearbox concealed within the Easyscreen Window Frame or within the head section, resulting in an automated louvre window with no visible motors, rods or arms.

Variety of Control Options
Control is possible via wall switches, remote control systems or integration into building management systems.

Frame Options
Altair Powerlouvre Windows are available as a complete Window System within the Breezway Easyscreen or Innoscreen Surround Frames, or in component form that can be installed in flat commercial frames or timber frames. (See the WINDOW SYSTEM and OTHER FRAMES sections for standard sizes).

Ease of use
Altair Powerlouvre WIndows can easily be operated by young, aged or infirm building occupants.

The Powerlourve System motor is neatly concealed within the Easyscreen^™ or Innoscreen^® Frame or the Component Powerlouvre Head Section.

Powerlouvre^TM System Operating Conditions

Powerlouvre^TM System Maintenance

Breezway Powerlouvre Windows should be operated at monthly intervals. Frames should be cleaned periodically as per Breezway Care and Maintenance recommendations.

Powerlouvre^TM System Opening Configurations

Powerlouvre Windows that are 2-9 blades high contain one motor per bay and are wired such that the entire window opens and closes simultaneously.

Powerlouvre Windows that are 10-18 blades high contain 2 motors per bay, one motor drives the blades in the top half of the bay and the other motor drives the blades in the bottom half of the bay. 10-18 Blade high Powerlouvre Windows are wired such that the blades in the top halves of all the bays form a bank that opens and closes simultaneously and the blades in the bottom halves of all the bays form a second bank that opens and closes simultaneously. The top and bottom banks can be operated independantly of each other.

Powerlouvre^TM System Electrical Requirements & Wiring

Operating voltage: 24V DC
Maximum allowed voltage: 29V DC
Maximum constant current: 0.25A per motor
Maximum startup current: 0.4A per motor
Opening time: Approx 14 seconds
Working temperature: -20°C to +60°C

In extreme cold conditions the windows will not operate if there is excessive ice build up or if the louvre blades are frozen together.

The direction in which the Powerlouvre System moves is determined by the polarity of the low voltage current supplied. Once the Powerlouvre Window has fully opened or fully closed, an electronic circuit stops power being delivered to the motors to prevent the motor being damaged should power be supplied continuously.

Battery Backup
The Powerlouvre System has no integrated battery back up. If the power supply fails the window cannot be operated. If battery back up is required, systems are readily available and can be integrated by qualified suppliers.

To CLOSE the Powerlouvre Window:

To OPEN the Powerlouvre Window:

Breezway^® Transformers

Breezway supplies transformers (as optional extras) that have been specified to meet the particular requirements of Powerlouvre Windows.

240V AC input current.
24V DC output.
Two model options with sufficient amps to power up to 6 or 14 Powerlouvre Motors.
Built-in overload protection to prevent accidental short circuits from damaging the transformer.

Transformers should be installed in an easily accessible location. It is recommended that transformers are located in a position that enables easy power cycling.

Controlling Powerlouvre^TM System

Control options include:

Bell press style wall switches, which allow for simple open and close functionality. One button for open, and one for close.
Breezway Powerlouvre Apptivate^® Advance Control Units, which allow control via a touch sensitive wall plate, remote control via a smartphone application, or automatic operation in response to temperature or timer events.
Building management systems, which allow control along with other automated building products and automatic operation in response to various sensors and inputs.

Powerlouvre^TM System Wiring And Control Details – Control Via Wall Switches

The most basic way to control Powerlouvre Windows is via a pair of simple bell type wall switches (open and close).

Switches are suggested below but not supplied. It is recommended that non-latching, normally open, bell press switches be used. See your electrical wholesaler for switch options.

Single Switch Panel Wiring

Twin Switch Panel Wiring

Powerlouvre^TM Apptivate^® Advance Control Unit

The Powerlouvre Apptivate Control Unit is a plastic, touch-sensitive wall switch.

Features include:

White, standard sized wall switch.
Control of up to 12 Powerlouvre Motors on a single Control Unit.
Fully open, fully close or open to an intermediate (half-open) position at a single touch.
Precise control of opening angle by touching and then releasing when the window is in the desired position, or by touching another button to stop the window in the desired position.
Automatic operation in response to an in-built temperature sensor.
Bluetooth® LE module to allow control by and communication with compatible smartphones.
Floating appearance, featuring a shadow line around the perimeter of the cover which allows it to visually stand off the wall.
Wireless communication with the Breezway® Rain Sensor (Coming Soon).

Additional features accessible through the Powerlouvre^™ Advance App:

Remote control.
Automatic operation in response to an in-built temperature sensor.
Automatic operation in response to pre-set timers.
‘Night mode’ which adjusts the brightness of LED lights overnight to minimise potential sleep disruptions.
Over the air firmware updates to the Apptivate Advance Control Unit when updated versions become available.

Apptivate^® Advance Control Unit

Powerlouvre^TM Advance App

The Apptivate^® Advance Control Unit includes a Bluetooth^® LE module which allows wireless communication between a compatible device running the Powerlouvre Advance App and the Apptivate Advance Control Unit.

Remote control.

The Powerlouvre app enables:

Remote opening and closing of each Apptivate Advance Control Unit. The range of the Bluetooth signal is approximately 10m – 20m. (The range will be maximised by maintaining a clear line of sight between the device running the Powerlouvre App and the Apptivate Advance Control Unit.)
Naming of Apptivate Advance Control Units for easy identification.
An indication of the open/close position of the Powerlouvre Windows connected to each Apptivate Advance Control Unit.

Compatible devices.

Compatible devices will have Bluetooth^® LE modules installed and have an iOS or Android operating system. Devices include:

Apple products running iOS 12 or newer.
Devices running Android 10 or newer.

Security.

Establishing associations between the Powerlouvre Advance App and Apptivate Advance Control Units requires:

Close physical proximity between the Powerlouvre Advance App and the Apptivate Advance Control Unit, and;
An access code (defined by the first Powerlouvre Advance App to be associated to the Apptivate Advance Control Unit). For first time connections the PIN will be ‘0000’.
If the Access Code is forgotten, a factory reset button can be activated by snapping off the front cover plate of the Apptivate Advance Control Unit and hold the reset button down for a 5 seconds. Additionally, holding the reset button for 10 seconds will reset the Apptivate Advance Control Unit to its factory settings.
Security will be maximised by positioning the Apptivate Advance Control Unit in a location that restricts unauthorised access.

Automatic operation in response to temperature.

Temperatures can be set at which the Apptivate Advance Control Unit will:

Automatically open the windows to naturally cool the room, or
Automatically close the windows to retain warmth within the room.

Automatic response to temperature can be enabled or disabled:

Remotely from the Powerlouvre Advance App, or
Directly on the Apptivate Advance Control Unit.

As the temperature sensor will be located within the wall cavity it may be susceptible to environmental conditions so the temperature readings will be indicative of the air temperature within the room, but will not exactly reflect the air temperature within the room.

Automatic operation in response to timers

Timer events (time of day and day of week) can be set to:

Open the windows
Move the window to an intermediate position
Close the windows
Begin responding automatically to temperatures

This allows the windows to be set to operate in anticipation of the building occupant’s daily routine. For example, opening before employees arrive to pre-cool the building, or responding to temperatures from when a homeowner goes to bed so that the windows close when the temperature drops in the early hours of the morning.

Timer events can be enabled or disabled:

Remotely from the Powerlouvre^™Advance App, or
Directly on the Apptivate^® Advance Control Unit.

Control of multiple Apptivate^® Advance Control Units

For ease of identification:

Each of the Apptivate Advance Control Units can be given a customised name.
The Powerlouvre App will indicate any Apptivate Advance Control Units which are out of range, or with which a Bluetooth^® LE connection cannot be made.

Up to 10 Apptivate Advance Control Units can be associated to each Powerlouvre App allowing building occupants to control windows around their home from their Powerlouvre App. Some mobile devices may have Bluetooth connection limits that reduce this number.

For maximum control and ease of use, all the Apptivate Advance Control Units associated to a Powerlouvre Advance App can be operated simultaneously or independently.

Control by multiple Powerlouvre^™ Advance Apps

Associations can be established between multiple Powerlouvre Advance Apps and each Apptivate Advance Control Control Unit, to allow all family members to control the windows from their smartphones.

Only one Powerlouvre Advance App will be able to maintain an active Bluetooth^® LE connection with an Apptivate Advance Control Unit at any given time. A second device can take control if the initial device is inactive with the screen on for 60 seconds, or 10 seconds if the intial devices screen is off, or the App put to sleep.

Apptivate^® Advance Control Unit Standard Wiring

Powerlouvre Motors and Apptivate Advance Control Units require 24V DC power. For ease of wiring the Apptivate Advance Control Unit senses the polarity of the current provided from the transformer and automatically adjusts accordingly.

Up to 12 Powerlouvre Motors can be wired to each Apptivate Advance Control Unit. It is recommended that transformers are located in a position that enables easy power cycling.

The Apptivate Advance Control Unit is incompatible with some switch mode transformers due to high levels of electrical noise (eg Meanwell GS40 series).

Building Management System Compatibility

The Altair^® Powerlouvre Window System has been reviewed for compatibility by the leading suppliers of building management systems. When considering integration into a building management system, the following should be considered:

Breezway does not supply the various sensors which could be used to instigate opening or closing of the windows (eg temperature or rain sensors).
Transformer requirements may differ from the requirements of Powerlouvre Windows controlled by Apptivate Advance Control Units.
The Powerlouvre Window System does not include an inbuilt electronic mechanism to inform the building management system of its current open or close position.
Powerlouvre Motors include limit switches which prevent the motors from continuing to attempt to open or close the window once the window is fully open or fully closed, thereby preventing damage to the motors and electronics.

Apptivate Advance Control Units are not compatible with building management systems.

Altair^® Louvres with the Stronghold^® System

Viewed from inside

Blade Retention System
Blades are retained in Stronghold Clips by a pin that passes through the clips, bearing and blade. Once installed, the pins cannot be removed without tools and the blades are prevented from being removed from the clips. Pins are visible on the inside/underside of the clips.

High Rise Applications
Breezway Altair Stronghold Louvres are fit for purpose for installation more than 2 metres above ground level. As the entire glazed area can be opened to allow airflow they can be used to maximise natural ventilation and cooling in multi level applications. They are also ideal for creating winter gardens as they can be opened for ventilation in warmer weather or closed for protection in colder weather.

Frame Options
Altair Stronghold Louvre Windows are available as complete window systems within the Breezway Easyscreen^®, Innoscreen^® and SL2^® Window Systems or in
component form for installation into other manufacturer’s framing systems.

Fall Prevention
Altair Louvre Windows with the Stronghold System are ideal for use in bedrooms, early childhood centres and other situations where fall prevention measures are required by the BCA. With openings on both sides of every blade, they deliver real ventilation benefits for naturally cool, healthy and safe spaces. BCA compliance is proven by successful testing to the Industry Code of Practice “ICP.005 – Protection of Openable Window Testing Specification”.

Blade Options
Processed and toughened glass and processed aluminium blades can be used in the Stronghold System. Heat soak testing of glass blades already processed for use with the Stronghold System is also available. The Altair Stronghold System is available for use with both 152mm and 102mm high blades.

Blade Type Compatibility

Powerlouvre^TM System Compatibility

Altair Stronghold Clips are fully compatible with the Powerlouvre Systems and have no impact on minimum and maximum Powerlouvre Window sizes.

Maintenance

If blades need to be removed from an Altair Stronghold Louvre Window or if broken blades need to be replaced, the pins must be removed. The removal process requires tools and will destroy the pins so new pins will be required when blades are re-installed.

Compliance With Balustrading Requirements

The Stronghold System is a window, not a balustrade system. The Stronghold System has been tested to AS2047 “Windows in Buildings” and has completed static load, swing bag and sphere tests. Test reports are available from the Breezway website. It is the responsibility of the building designer to specify systems and products that meet the barrier and balustrade requirements for a building.

Window Sizes

Window Size Constraints
The Altair Product Performance Warranty size constraints for Ultimate Limit State Pressure, Serviceability Limit State Pressure and Water Pass must be adhered to in order to ensure compliance with AS2047.

Standard Heights
The standard heights of Breezway Window Systems with Altair Stronghold Louvres are identical to the standard heights of Breezway Window Systems with regular Altair Louvres.

Off-Standard Heights
It is recommended that, whenever possible, Altair Louvre Windows with the Stronghold System should be designed to a standard height. This will reduce the product cost and ensure effective opening of all blades. Some off-standard heights are unavailable when using the 102mm Altair Louvre Galleries with the Stronghold System.

Dualair^® Secondary Glazed Altair Louvre Component System

The Dualair System combines the performance benefits of secondary glazing with the ventilation benefits of Altair Louvre Windows.

Airborne Sound Isolation
The large gap between the inner and outer Altair Louvre Blades of the Dualair System result in high levels of sound reduction. Rw ratings of up to 35 are possible.

Thermal Performance
The large air gap between the inner and outer blades delivers thermal insulation performance comparable to that of windows with thermally broken aluminium framing and argon-filled double glazing with low e coatings. U-values as low as 2.4 are possible with monolithic glass blades with low e coatings.

Water Penetration Resistance
The pressure equalising design of the Dualair System allows for water penetration resistance performance of 600 Pa at a window size of 2,658mm (h) x 1,041mm (w). (Water Penetration Resistance of 620Pa is also available as narrower window widths.)

Maximum Cooling Natural Ventilation
With blades that open almost horizontally and no fixed panes of glass, the Dualair System maximises the ventilation opening of the window to help deliver healthy, naturally comfortable spaces.

Integrated Shading & Privacy
When aluminium blades or printed glass blades are used to the outside, the Dualair System offers integrated shading from solar heat gain and visual privacy without the need for internal blinds or curtains.

Secondary Glazing within a Single Frame
The Dualair System is installed as a single unit, allowing a single installation occasion into a single set of subframing.

Unified Aesthetics
With both the inner and outer window types being identical, the Dualair System offers the appearance of a single window unit while offering the performance benefits of secondary glazing.

Compatible Frames

The Dualair System has been customised for the Alspec McArthur EVO 150mm Centre Pocket Framing and the Alspec Hunter EVO 150mm Acoustic Framing. When assembling these framing systems for use with the Dualair System, some customised processing and assembly is required, so clear, early communication with the fabricator is recommended.

To create space for the Powerlouvre Motors to be concealed within the head of the frame, the Alspec McArthur 150mm Plain Frame extrusion (AS74) is used regardless of whether the jambs, mullions, sills or transoms are from the McArhtur EVO 150m Centre Pocket range or the Hunter EVO 150mm Acoustic range.

More information on the framing systems that are compatible with the Dualair System is available from the Alspec website:

www.alspec.com.au/macarthur-150mm-centre-pocket-framing
www.alspec.com.au/hunter-evo-150mm-acoustic-framing
