Plastic Maintenance
When cleaning plastic components it is recommended to be done by wetting a cloth with a neutral
cleaning agent such as a car wash without wax/polymer, or alternatively a mild furniture polish.
Acidic or alkaline cleaning solutions, such as vinegar, detergents and glass cleaners should be
avoided.

Selecting The Right Aluminium Finish

The aluminium components of Altair® Louvre windows are available in two different surface finishes: anodised or standard powder coating.

Powder coatings are polyester coatings from leading powder suppliers applied to a thickness of 50-80 µm and anodised finishes are to a thickness of 25 µm.

Over time, weathering of powder coated surfaces should be expected, resulting in a gradual change in appearance. This will be evident in loss of gloss, chalking, colour change and erosion of the powder
coatings.

Selecting the right finish for the atmospheric conditions of the site and correct maintenance will be critical to the ongoing appearance of the finish.
Note that industry accepted colour variation can occur during the aluminium anodising process.

Energy Efficiency

Breezway Altair® Louvre Windows can help to enhance the energy efficiency and comfort of a building by offering:

Maximum ventilation
With no fixed panes and blades that open almost fully horizontally (88º) Altair Louvre Windows welcome fresh, cooling breezes. These cooling breezes reduce the need for power hungry electric air conditioning
systems, thereby helping to save our fragile environment.

Tight Sealing
Altair Louvre Windows have an air infiltration rating that is significantly better than the standard required for residential windows. Tight sealing reduces draughts thereby allowing heating and cooling systems to run
more efficiently.

Choice of Glazing
A variety of energy efficient glazing options can be used to meet local requirements. For example, toned glass blades reduce the amount of hot sunlight that enters a building and the improved insulating properties
of low e glass blades offer thermal performance comparable to clear double glazing.
Energy ratings of most windows sold in Australia can be found in the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) website, www.wers.net. In Southeast Asia's warm, tropical climate the shading offered by tinted glass or
aluminium blades will reduce the solar heat gain through those windows thereby reducing the temperatures within a building. Clear low e glass can similarly reduce the solar heat gain when clear glass is preferred.
Low e glass blades offer insulating properties similar to those achieved by windows with clear double glazing.

The Altair Louvre window system has been field tested for sound transmission loss.

The tests were conducted independently by a member firm of the Association of the Australia Acoustical Consultants.
The tests were carried out on Altair windows 2400 high x 840 wide. The windows comprised of a Breezway Louvre Windows aluminium surround frame complete with 152 Altair louvres. The 2400 high windows
consisted of louvres of 16 operable blades with a fixed extension blade.
The results of these field tests gave the following sound transmission loss.

Electrical Requirements Breezway Transformer

• Operating voltage: 24V DC Breezway supplies transformers (as an optional extra) that have been specified to
• Maximum allowed voltage 29V DC meet the particular requirements of Powerlouvre Windows.
• Maximum constant current: 0.25A per motor
• Maximum startup current: 0.4A per motor • 240V AC current transformed to 2.9 amp, 24V DC constant current.
• Opening time: Approx 14 seconds • Able to provide sufficient instantaneous startup current for up to 6 Powerlouvre
Motors.
• Working temperature: -20 to +60 degrees Celsius
• Built-in overload protection to prevent accidental short circuits from damaging
the transformer.

Maximum Constant Current Requirements

Powerlouvre Window Type Motors per bay Maximum Constant Current Required

2-9 Blades High Without Remote Control 1 0.25 amps per bay

10-18 Blades High Without Remote Control 2 0.5 amps per bay

The direction in which the Powerlouvre Window moves is determined by the polarity of the low voltage
current supplied. Once the Powerlouvre Window has fully opened or fully closed, an electronic circuit
stops power being delivered to the motors to prevent the motor being damaged should power be
supplied continuously.

Fall Prevention
Altair Louvre Windows with the Stronghold System are ideal for use in
bedrooms, early childhood centres and other situations where there is a
significant height from the window sill to the outside ground. With openings on
both sides of every blade, they deliver real ventilation benefits for naturally cool,
healthy and safe spaces. Performance is proven by successful testing to the
Australian Industry Code of Practice “ICP.005 - Protection of Openable Window
Testing Specification” and AS5203:2016.

Stronghold Bearing Blade Options

(moulded from acetal) Processed and toughened glass and processed aluminium blades can be used
in the Stronghold System. Heat soak testing of glass blades already processed
for use with the Stronghold System is also available. The Altair Stronghold
System is available for use with both 152mm and 102mm high blades.

NOTES:
Patented design.

Louvre blades are mechanically retained within the clips by

the Stronghold System.

System has been tested to AS2047 “Windows in Buildings” and has completed
static load, swing bag and sphere tests. Test reports are available from the

and products that meet the barrier and balustrade requirements for a building.
