The mp2 louvre was introduced to the Australian market in 2012 at a time when the industry focus was on single glazing. Subsequent updates to the National Construction Code (NCC) have pushed the thermal performance requirements of commercial buildings and as a result made the mp2 louvre the product of choice on many landmark projects.
Available in two versions, the mp2 can either be structurally glazed with stepped IGU blades for a frameless glass louvre look, or it can accommodate traditional IGU’s into a thermally broken fully framed blade holder.
Either system can be configured to accept either double or triple glazed insulated glass units (IGU’s).
Where wider spans are desirable the mp2 system can incorporate a blind intermediate mullion which will allow continuous spans beyond those detailed in the performance table.
The MP2 has undergone a number of project specific tests at a NATA certified test facility in Sydney, achieving some incredible results along the way including:
- Resistance to water penetration of 1000 pascals
- Exceeding the test rig capacity for Ultimate Wind Load, being certified at +11kPa / -10.3kPa without any product failure.
- Recording zero air leakage when tested for Air Permeability at the AS2047 benchmark pressure of 75 pascals
- Being the only louvre to pass both debris type A and B as part of cyclonic testing
Quite simply the MP2 is unlike any other louvre system you are likely to have encountered, it is a true example of German engineering at its best.
