Aluminium Louvre Vent https://universal-containers.com/aluminium-louvre-vent/ https://universal-containers.com/aluminium-louvre-vent/#respond Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:24:08 +0000 https://universal-containers.com/?post_type=product&p=3600 Our silver Aluminium Louvre Vent is the ideal choice when you need to maintain airflow in and out of your shipping container while maintaining security and privacy. It has horizontal parallel slats that block access and vision, allowing for good circulation when doors are closed while preventing unauthorised access.

Shipping containers absorb heat from direct sunlight and the outdoor temperature. Without proper ventilation, the heat can become trapped inside. This can make the interior of the container uncomfortably warm and condensation will form causing damage to good and property. This louvre vent, resistant to corrosion, ensures durability in humid conditions, making it a perfect fit not just for containers but also for use in areas requiring reliable air flow, such as communal shower rooms, changing areas, and utility closets.

Due to the vent’s slim design, we would suggest installing the vents with a box section frame as shown in the picture.

Specifications:

  • Colour: Silver
  •  Dimensions: 400mm x 400mm
  • Material: Aluminium
  • Parallel Slat Configuration
