Cross Ventilation with Louvre Windows from Safetyline Jalousie

Penrith Baptist Church, NSW

The architect's goal was to create a comfortable environment for the parish to enjoy all year round without relying on air conditioning. There were several aspects that appealed to the architect about Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows:

1. The cross ventilation achieved by louvre windows was key to the design and complemented the other sustainable design features of the building (including a concrete slab with underfloor heating and slow velocity high volume fans);

2. The in-built security feature meant the windows could be safely left open during the evenings;

3. The architect was able to specify 1200mm widths, which created an impressive look that blended with the overall design; and

4. The superior waterproof seals eliminates the infiltration of cold air and the escape of hot air in winter.

While the architect was conscious that the inbuilt security feature added an extra horizontal line between the individual louvres, they were comfortable with this aesthetic because the extra width delivered a more expansive view with fewer vertical mullions.

With pressure to substitute the Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows with a cheaper alternative, the architect stood firm in their resolve to install the superior quality of Safetyline Jalousie. The value delivered by the additional features and superior quality of Safetyline Jalousie far outweighed any cost savings that could have been achieved by the alternative.
