Louvre Windows for Aged Care Project from Safetyline Jalousie

Melrose Retirement Village, Pendle Hill, NSW

Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows are increasingly being specified in aged care settings across Australia.

For this aged care project, located in Pendle Hill, NSW the architects, ThomsonAdsett specified Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows primarily for their stylish design features which complemented the overall aesthetics of the building.

They especially liked the look of the individually framed louvre blades with simple yet defined edges. The Safetyline Jalousie window system worked together with the other window system as a seamless window set.

ThomsonAdsett were cognisant of the needs of the elderly residents, many of whom are not used to and/or do not like air conditioning, to be able to easily open and close their windows. Safetyline Jalousie's simple single handed manual operating lever makes it easy for residents to manage and control the flow of fresh air into their living environment.

The louvre windows have been positioned at both the bottom and the top of the floor to ceiling windows, whereby high pressure at the bottom and low pressure at the top cause air to be flushed out of the window, creating a clever venturi effect.
