LP and Model LF2-24, outer casings are made of 16 gauge (1.613 mm) galvanized steel.
Louver splitter blades (baffles) are airfoil configuration and made of 22 gauge (0.8534 mm)
galvanized steel. They are packed with inert, vermin and moisture proof mineral fiber and
provide the acoustical performance as indicated. For Model R, Model 2R, Model LP and Model
2LP, birdscreens are standard on one side only. Birdscreens will be installed on the perf side
as standard. For Model LF2-24, birdscreens are not included. Please contact IAC Acoustics
for birdscreen and installation options.
Specifying Slimshield Louvers

Furnish and install SlimshieldTM louvers as manufactured by IAC Acoustics. For SL-4, outer
casings are made of 18 gauge (1.27 mm) galvanized steel. For SL-6, SL-12 and SL-24, outer
casings are made of 16 gauge (1.613 mm) galvanized steel. Louver splitter blades (baffles)
for all models are made of 22 gauge (0.8534 mm) galvanized steel. They are packed with
inert, vermin and moisture proof mineral fiber and provide the acoustical performance
as indicated. For all SlimshieldTM louvers, birdscreens are not included. Please contact IAC
Acoustics for birdscreen options.
IAC Acoustics acoustical louvers adhere to and are applicable to ASTM Standard E90.
