We are thrilled to share that EBSA has been recognised at the Zak Awards for Excellence in Façade Design & Engineering, winning the Excellence in Façade Innovation – Product category for the MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre (MP2-FL-OP).
This award adds to a growing list of industry recognition for the MP2 Opposed Opening Louvres, which includes:
Most Innovative Louvre System 2023– APAC Business Awards
Most Innovative Window Solution 2024– AGWA QLD Design Awards
Highly Commended – Most Innovative Window Solution 2024 – AGWA National Awards
Originally introduced in 2012, the Schneider MP2 louvre quickly established itself as a market leader as energy efficiency requirements under the NCC intensified. Its performance has been proven through stringent testing, including cyclone resistance at 32m/s, AS4284 compliance, and even earthquake performance.
The MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre (MP2-FL-OP) was developed in close collaboration with our client on the Seafarers Project to resolve challenges around sightlines, ventilation, and water ingress. The result is a system that allows unobstructed views while maintaining exceptional weather performance, with the added flexibility of simultaneous or independent blade operation.
MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre System – Test Results (AZUMA TEST: AZT0153.23):
• Deflection: 3000 Pa+ / 2500 Pa-
• Water penetration: 1000 Pa
