Louvreclad launches Aerion Series vertical performance louvre

Louvreclad has unveiled its Aerion Series vertical louvre system, which the company says was engineered in collaboration with Formula 1 aerodynamic specialists and sets a new global standard in aerodynamic and weather performance for architectural façades.

Constructed from lightweight, low-carbon extruded aluminium, the Australian engineered and tested system has been certified to achieve maximum ventilation efficiency and 99–100% rain defence.

The product’s performance has been validated through third-party testing at a trusted Australian test facility, where the rig/tests/data/certifications have been quality assured and scrutinised by chartered professional engineers.

The results confirm that the Aerion Series complies with and exceeds the requirements of the new Australian Standard 4740:2025, which marks the latest global benchmark for wind-driven rain resistance and louvre ventilation performance. According to Louvreclad, this rigorous testing process confirms the Aerion Series as the world’s highest-performing vertical louvre.

“The Aerion Series represents a major step forward in cooling technology,” says Louvreclad Design Consultant Uddhava Sharplin. “By applying advanced aerodynamic principles verified through independent Australian testing, we’re enabling the next generation of energy-efficient, climate-resilient buildings.”

Features

Louvreclad says the aerodynamic design and sustainability-led materials of the Aerion Series allow projects to achieve:

• Verified class A 99–100% rain resistance up to 5m/s core velocity at a higher rainfall rate of 203L/h.m2
• Optimised class 1 airflow performance through aerodynamic blade geometry
• Reduced HVAC loads and improved building energy efficiency
• Proven compliance with AS 4740:2025, backed by independent testing data.

Louvreclad says that, with a 150mm blade depth, 30mm pitch, and minimal framing requirements, the new product offers zero-vision screening, durability, and a clean linear aesthetic.

The Aerion Series is manufactured from 6063-T5 extruded aluminium and available in very low-carbon material options. It is non-combustible (AS1530.1- and AS1530.3-compliant) and backed by a 15–30-year coating warranty, as well as Louvreclad’s own guarantee.
