Watertightness of RENSON aluminium grills

The watertightness of RENSON aluminium grills is tested by very strict methods. Renson® louvres are subjected to European testing (according to EN 13030: 2011) by the internationally accredited corporation BSRIA Ltd. During these tests, a louvre of 1m2, equipped with stainless steel mesh is exposed to downpours at a rate of 75 litres per hour and a wind speed of 13 m/second. The classification is based on the obtained results, i.e. the quantity of water infiltrating through the louvre.

Attention: The “air speed” reference always indicates the air speed at the suction side. If a louvre is assigned to a watertightness, the class
suction side air speed has to be indicated. The outside wind speed is fixed to 13m/s and is therefore never mentioned.

Very good rain protection A 100-99%

Remark: In case a weatherable louvre is used in extreme weather conditions Renson® advises to seal the seams of the frame. Additionally, applying a water channel will guarantee an even better weatherbility.
