Louvers have all kinds of benefits, such as the promoted airflow, reduced visibility, and preventing many types of elements like debris or dirt from coming into a specific area.
It’s a genuine possibility that you have seen a set of louvers on somebody’s property, but you did not know what to call them or were aware they had a name. Defined by their angled and massive slats, they are metal structures used for various outdoor functions, very similar to gates or fences. Louvers have all kinds of benefits, such as the promoted airflow, reduced visibility, and preventing many types of elements like debris or dirt from coming into a specific area. Here at Hercules Custom Louvers, we are experts in installing a wide set of louvers, so we can tell you about each detail. Since we create louvers, allow us to break them down and talk about what it is that makes them so unique to give you a better idea of how they work within your facility. Read on to learn more!
Calculating the Free Space in Your Facility
Louvers are a special but complex piece of infrastructure. When they are made, the free space is calculated by taking note of the total open space of your louvers. This is done by subtracting and adjusting for any kinds of obstructions, like frames and blades. This helps give everyone a much better feeling and understanding of how much space is required when creating them, as more obstruction can keep all of the undesirable elements out, such as debris, dirt, and water. Typically, custom louvers create a significant amount of free space without letting too much water in.
Measurements Created for Airflow
At Hercules Custom Louvers, we do not forget to test our louvers for airflow resistance. A set of louvers wouldn’t be a set without proper airflow resistance. To test this, we run air through the louver set to see how much opposition there currently is. In a couple of examples, like when they’re installed close to the HVAC systems and generators, airflow is so important for finding out whether or not a set of louvers is prepared to install.
Water Measurements and Other Statistics
Similar to airflow, a lot of time and research goes into the science behind louvers’ work and how they deal with airflow. It rains a lot here in Maryland, so a lot of people and businesses use louvers to protect their property from the awful weather conditions. Louvers could shield objects from above, which is one real advantage they have over a gate or a fence. This is why extensive research and measurements are finished on this aspect of a louver job.
