Overhead Louver Systems

Innovative Counter Line Solutions for Ballistic Protection

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Insulgard’s Overhead Louver Systems are designed to extend the height of a bullet-resistant system at a reduced cost. The louvers help to deter attempts to leap over a bullet-resistant barrier. While the louvers are not bullet-resistant, they are recommended to accompany a bullet-resistant barrier when the ceiling is significantly higher than the top of the barrier. The innovative design allows airflow where heating and cooling systems may otherwise be restricted by the existence of a solid barrier.

APPLICATIONS

• Financial institutions
• Convenience stores
• Pharmacies
• Food service establishments
• Law enforcement facilities
• Other “at risk” facilities

FEATURES

• Enables natural sound transmission
• Allows airflow without restricting heating and cooling systems
• Resists and discourages attempts to leap over an existing barrier
• Fabricated ready for installation
• Does not obstruct line of sight

CONSTRUCTION

• Louvers are custom-designed and manufactured for each application. Sizes commonly cover up to three feet above the barrier.
• The louvers are constructed with 3⁄8″ thick clear acrylic fabricated into an alternating ½” slot pattern.
• Care should be exercised during shipping and handling to maintain the louver appearance.

INSTALLATION

• It is recommended to store the louvers upright in a dry, well-ventilated building or shelter.
• Do not stack crates or store them in damp areas or freshly plastered buildings.
• Place the unit on wood blocks at least 2” high to prevent moisture damage.
• Remove protective masking just before installation. Do not install in areas where additional construction is required and keep away from construction debris and dust.
