Acoustic Series

Acoustic performance louvres are specifically designed to provide sound attenuation, reducing unwanted noise transmission. They serve as a barrier against external noise sources like traffic or machinery, ensuring a peaceful indoor environment for occupants.

INNIVATE’s acoustic louvres have been used in penthouses, carparks, factories and in mechanical rooms as screens for mechanical equipment, as well as cooling tower inlet/exhaust screens, noise barriers, process air intakes, and fresh air intakes for ventilation systems.

Although they prioritise noise control, acoustic louvres also allow for essential ventilation and airflow. They are designed to maintain optimal air exchange rates without compromising on acoustic performance. Certain louvres, like INNIVATE’s IAR-150 series, have the triple advantage of being efficient and effective in rain defense, noise reduction, and ventilation.

Cities or local building authories may impose noise limits, especially in residential areas. Acoustic louvres that are certified to industry standards help building designers and developers to meet these regulations.

Acoustic louvres are measured for transmission loss at Octave Band Centre Frequencies. 6dB is added to transmission loss values to get the free-field noise reduction ratings. Acoustic louvres can sometimes also be given a Weighted Sound Reduction Index or “Rw” rating, expressed in decibels. The higher the Rw figure, the better the sound insulation provided.

A wide range of customisation options is possible for acoustic performance louvres, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated into an architectural vision while meeting specific acoustic requirements. They can be installed in facades, walls, windows, or ventilation systems, giving architects flexiblity in incorporating noise control measures while maintaining architectural aesthetics.

Ranging from 100mm to 600mm deep, INNIVATE’s acoustic louvres can be employed either on a standalone basis or integrated within external facades. Architects can select from a range of materials and finishings, including Polyester Powder or PVF finishes.
