DESIGNED TO PERFORM From the beginning, Ventus set out to design and build a better louvre gallery. Intelligent, yet simple design, robust components, tighter tolerances and better raw materials are just some of the features of the Solis louvre gallery. The Ventus Solis louvre gallery was designed to improve the most fundamental limitation of louvre galleries, the sealing between the blades when closed. Using our patented Rubber Contact Block, Ventus created a collapsible contact point between louvre blades. This means when closed, the blades come closer to each other and create a more positive seal. A more positive seal between the blades translates to a more air-tight, more water-tight and more sound proof window, which makes it a better window. So we don't just say that the Ventus Solis louvre gallery is better by design, we designed it to perform. BUILT TO LAST We wanted our galleries to last a long time. In fact, we wanted them to last a lifetime. So we manufactured the Ventus Solis louvre gallery using modern materials from the most reputable suppliers in the industry. DO WE STAND UP TO THE ELEMENTS? ABSOLUTELY!!! The Ventus Solis louvre gallery was designed specifically for use in tropical environments, where nature is known to be unforgiving. By combining cutting edge design, quality materials and precision manufacturing, we built a gallery that is all about performance. In fact, we guarantee that when used properly and installed correctly within the design parameters and specifications, Ventus Solis galleries will stand up to harsh weather conditions and tropical extremes. But we did not expect anyone to take our word for it. We know that designs mean little without testing and claims are empty without proof. So we put the Ventus Solis louvre gallery through one of the most stringent testing regimes on the planet - the AS4420 (Testing Methods for Windows), and certified it in accordance to AS2047-1999 (Windows in Buildings). So you know that your home is secure and your family is safe from the elements. This is our promise and your peace of mind. Single Control Single mechanism galleries provide good closing pressure. The most common choice for louvre control and adequate for most applications with recommended blade spans of up to 600mm. Ring Pull Handle Allows the gallery to be operated by hand or an extension pole. This handle is the perfect choice for the high windows and hard to reach galleries. Dual Control Dual mechanism galleries provide increased closing pressure across the entire length of the blade. A popular choice for commercial applications and blade spans of up to 1000mm. IntelliVent The IntelliVent system allows user to open and close the louvres with a remote, wall switch or Cbus connection. No need to have specialised frames. The motors are hidden in the Gallery. The Gallery is powered via a 12 Volt power pack. Autumn 2015 www.awa.org.au 13
