We’re excited to launch the latest iteration of our louvred door products, The Fully Louvred Door. Designed specifically for applications that demand reliable airflow without over-engineering or inflated costs, this door strikes the perfect balance between ventilation, security, and value.
It features a bespoke, fully louvred design manufactured entirely in-house for maximum airflow, delivering a 50% Free Air Ratio (FAR). Ideal for outdoor environments like bin stores, power stations, and bike stores, it provides essential ventilation while maintaining robust protection thanks to its integrated 16mm steel bar security and Locinox Fortylock handle system.
Whereas traditional Louvred Steel Doors rely on inserting a louvred panel into a standard steel door and frame, this door is fully louvred from top to bottom to optimise airflow, strength, and long-term performance.
Key Features of the Fully Louvred Door
Each element of the Fully Louvred Door was carefully considered to deliver premium performance without unnecessary add-ons. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Solid 16mm Steel Bar Reinforcement: Security meets simplicity. Each louvre blade is internally reinforced with 16mm solid steel bars, providing ample protection against intrusion without the added complexity (and cost) of security-rated doors, and built tough enough to handle even the most demanding installations.
- Premium Stainless Steel Hinges: Built for long-term performance, these heavy-duty hinges are highly durable and require minimal maintenance even in damp or outdoor environments. They ensure a smooth, dependable swing action and greatly reduce the need for maintenance or replacements.
- Robust 50mm Box Section Frame: Strength where it matters. The door is framed with 50mm box-section steel, offering outstanding rigidity, resilience, and enhanced security. It’s the backbone of the door, built to withstand wear and tear in high-traffic or exposed locations.
- Integrated Locinox Fourtylock: The lock that blends in and stands out. Featuring a 100% stainless steel mechanism and sleek black aesthetic, the Locinox Fourtylock is seamlessly built into the box section for a modern, tamper-resistant finish that’s as rugged as it is secure.
- 3mm Astragal Edge Trim: The astragal trim enhances both security and sealing. Constructed from a robust 50x50x3 mm angle steel, offering significantly greater strength and resistance to forced entry. The flat corner profile adds to its security by making it more difficult to attack, while also providing extra reinforcement along the locking edge.
- Fully Bespoke, Made In-House: No compromises. Every door is made to measure, tailored in-house to suit your exact dimensions and specifications. Whether it’s odd sizes, custom fixings, or unique site requirements, we’ve got you covered.
- Removable Threshold: Practical protection, when you need it. Designed to prevent water ingress without becoming a trip hazard, this threshold can be quickly removed via discreet Torx screws. It offers the best of both worlds—effective sealing when in place, and a clear path when moving large items in or out.
What Problems Can the Fully Louvred Door Help Solve in Your Sector?
From industrial plants to hospitality venues, the Fully Louvred Door delivers dependable performance in applications that demand airflow, durability, and cost-conscious design.
Bin Stores
Rotting waste creates heat and releases flammable gases like methane. Without proper ventilation, these areas become ignition risks and odour traps. Our door enables airflow to disperse heat and gas, reducing fire hazards and unpleasant smells, all without overspending on security-heavy alternatives.
Power Stations, Substations & Generator Rooms
Engines and batteries generate intense heat and hazardous fumes. Venting is mandatory to avoid CO buildup, equipment failures, and any other issues that would violate building regulations (NFPA 110, NFPA 37). Our fully louvred design supports continuous air exchange, allowing generators to run safely and efficiently without overheating or flooding the room with exhaust.
Bike Stores
Moisture-laden air can quickly rust and degrade bicycles, tools, and racks. Adequate ventilation extends the life of stored items and reduces the risk of corrosion. The Fully Louvred Door supports this with high airflow, while the internal steel bars discourage theft, offering the ideal balance for outdoor cycle enclosures.
Construction Sites
On-site generators and storage rooms often fall short of ventilation codes. Without airflow, diesel fumes, solvents, and equipment heat build up quickly, creating dangerous working conditions. This door is an affordable, compliant solution for temporary structures needing effective, code-aligned airflow.
Hospitality Environments (Boiler Rooms, Bin Rooms, Kitchens)
Boiler rooms, compactor enclosures, and kitchens require effective airflow to prevent grease buildup, CO leakage, and offensive odours. Our door offers a sleek but functional appearance that complements hospitality environments while satisfying building codes for fresh air intake.
Recreational Facilities (Gyms, Pools, Venues)
Spaces like pump rooms, pool filter areas, and locker rooms generate heat, humidity, and chemical fumes. Without ventilation, machinery fails, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) drops, affecting both users and staff. Our door allows chloramines, moisture, and stale air to escape, helping protect equipment and improve user comfort.
