Roof Penthouse Louvre - Residential (RPL-R)

Product features and details.

Roof Penthouse Louvre Description

The Sertus Roof Penthouse Louvre – Residential (RPL-R), also known as turret louvre, are roof mounted ventilation terminals, suitable for performing both intake and exhaust functions.

Commonly used in natural ventilation applications, penthouse louvres allow temperature differentials and the force of the wind to be used in place of energy intensive forced ventilation. This can present significant savings of both cost and energy over the life of a building.

Penthouse louvres are manufactured to order and are available with a comprehensive range of options to both functionality and appearance, including integrated volume control dampers and internal dividers.
