Product Description
Louvres are often required for cooling and to provide air transfer around all types of plant and equipment. Ballistic louvers (sometimes also referred to as bullet louvers or bullet louvres) provide ballistic or bullet protection and also air ventilation at the same time. A ballistic or bullet air vent as shown above can be installed either within the recess of a wall or panel, or even within a doorset as shown below. The bullet louvre vents can also be full door height and therefore produce a ballistic protected louver doorset for added flexibility and also airflow at the same time.
Advantages
The Blast Louvre can also be combined and is compatible with Blast Ducting/Dampers in order to provide a complete package for a project.
Each unit is bespoke and made to order with the required fixing hole positions and fixing details which allows it to be used in conjunction with other non-blast and blast-rated products to provide a holistic solution.

- Available in a factory PPC Finish, Mill Finish and Galvanised.
- Can be used for both internal and external applications, installed into walls, panels and doors.
- Can be installed into recess or face mounted with flange.
