A-2097 shallow ventilation louvre at 53mm deep, with a 48mm horizontal blade pitch. Designed for space-limited applications where airflow, particularly mechanical extract is the priority. Can be specified in compact sizes from 100mm x 180mm, suited to curtain walling, residential buildings, and storefronts.
