Kinetics Fixed Blade Acoustical Louvers are economical, effective and attractive. They are designed for maximum sound attenuation when space is limited. They are aesthetically pleasing and available in various material types.
Applications:
- Building Vents
- Generator Room Vents
- Barrier Wall Systems
- Acoustical Enclosure Ventilation
- Commercial and Industrial Duct Systems
Accessories:
- Flanges
- Bird Screen
- Powder-Coat Finish
- Structural Design of Large Louver Banks
Acoustical Louvers are used as part of the intake/exhaust air system of buildings, structures, or equipment to help reduce noise produced by the system equipment. They have a relatively large surface area which compensates for their lack of depth.
