Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-20

The Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-20 is a 200mm deep single-blade acoustic louvre designed to provide increased airborne sound reduction while maintaining controlled airflow, with rain resistance assessed to AS 4740.

Acoustic performance has been assessed to AS 1191-2002 and rated in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 717.1. The SL4-20 provides predictable acoustic attenuation for mechanical plant enclosures, façade ventilation openings and industrial plant screening where increased airborne sound reduction is required.
