Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-20C

The Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-20C is a 200mm deep acoustic louvre designed to provide controlled airborne sound reduction while maintaining airflow performance. Use it where greater acoustic attenuation is required within a 200mm system depth.

Engineered to balance acoustic attenuation, airflow performance and weather protection, the SL4-20C provides increased airborne sound reduction compared with single-blade configurations of equivalent depth. The chevron blade arrangement delivers higher acoustic performance while maintaining efficient airflow through an optimised free open area.
