Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-60

The Sonic Series acoustic louvre SL4-60 is a 600mm deep acoustic louvre designed to provide controlled airborne sound reduction while maintaining airflow performance. Specify where acoustic attenuation is the primary design constraint and system depth allows for a deeper louvre configuration.

Engineered to balance acoustic attenuation, airflow performance and weather protection,the SL4-60 provides the highest airborne sound reduction of any acoustic louvre in the Sonic Series range. With a Weighted Sound Reduction Index of Rw 33, it exceeds the acoustic performance of comparable chevron blade configurations while maintaining Class 1 airflow performance and a 35% free open area.
