What are Acoustic Louvres?
Acoustic louvres are specialised architectural elements designed to control and reduce noise levels in buildings or industrial settings. They are primarily used to mitigate the transmission of sound through ventilation systems while allowing for adequate airflow.
Sound louvres consist of a series of angled blades or slats arranged horizontally or vertically within a frame. These blades are typically made of sound-absorbing materials such as metal or composite panels with perforations or other sound-dampening features. The angle and spacing of the blades are carefully designed to maximise sound absorption and minimise sound transmission.
When sound waves pass through the louvres, the angled blades cause the sound energy to scatter, reflecting it away from the louvres. Additionally, the sound-absorbing materials within the louvres help to absorb and dissipate the remaining sound energy, further reducing its transmission. Generally, the louvres are rain resistant and can be used across a range of different building applications.
When to Use Acoustic Louvres
Acoustic louvres are commonly used in applications where noise control is crucial, such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, industrial facilities, power plants, mechanical rooms, and areas located near highways or airports. By incorporating acoustic louvres into the ventilation system or as standalone elements, they help to maintain a comfortable and quiet indoor environment while allowing for adequate ventilation and airflow.
When your building or structure requires not only optimal natural airflow but maximal noise reduction, Airocle’s range provides the perfect, innovative solution.
