VR40 Louver System FAQs

What size openings can VR40 louvers accommodate?

VR40 louvers can be fabricated in a wide range of sizes to fit various openings. Standard panels can span up to 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall without intermediate framing, though larger openings can be accommodated with proper structural support. For expansive applications like parking garage facades or large mechanical screens, multiple panels can be combined as continuous louver runs. Glass Inc engineers each installation based on wind loads and structural requirements.

How do I choose between different louver blade sizes?

Blade size selection depends on your primary goals. VR40's 1-1/2 inch blades provide approximately 50% free area for maximum airflow - ideal for mechanical rooms, large HVAC systems, and parking garages. Smaller blade systems like VR26 (1-inch) offer a more refined appearance for architectural accents but less airflow. Consider required CFM (airflow volume), visual impact, rain resistance, and building aesthetics when selecting blade size.

Do aluminum louvers require maintenance?

Aluminum louvers require minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water removes dirt and debris buildup. Inspect annually for any damaged blades or loose fasteners. Powder-coated finishes may need touch-up if scratched. Bird screens should be checked and cleared of debris regularly. With basic care, VR40 louvers maintain their appearance and function for decades. Glass Inc can provide maintenance recommendations specific to your installation.

Can VR40 louvers be used for equipment screening?

Yes, VR40 is excellent for screening mechanical equipment including rooftop HVAC units, generators, transformers, and other building systems. The 1-1/2 inch blades effectively conceal equipment from view while maintaining necessary ventilation. Louver screens can be designed as fixed panels or operable sections for equipment access. Custom heights, colors, and configurations ensure the screening integrates with building architecture.

Are louvers available with bird or insect screens?

Yes, VR40 louvers can be fitted with bird screens (typically 1/2-inch mesh) or insect screens (smaller mesh) mounted behind the louver blades. Screens prevent birds, insects, and debris from entering while maintaining airflow. Screen options include galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum mesh in various gauges. Note that screens reduce free area and airflow capacity somewhat, so this should be factored into ventilation calculations.
