Product Performance
Altair® Louvres are designed to exceed the requirements of Australian Standard 2047-2014 “Windows in Buildings”.
Altair Product Performance Warranty
The following tables outlines the maximum variations that Breezway will warrant per wind pressure. Exceeding these constraints will void this Warranty. The limitations have been generated through Australian Standard AS2047 test results generated in a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) approved testing laboratory and over 60 years of experience manufacturing louvre windows. The design constraints below only apply to product sold as a fully assembled Louvre Window System with Altair Aluminium Blades or glass blades to Breezway’s specifications that is maintained according to the Breezway “Louvre Care and Maintenance” instructions.
Note: The Altair Component System Product Performance Warranty is applicable only when Breezway Altair Weatherstrips are used and the system is installed in accordance with Breezway recommended installation procedures.
For commercial applications, please consult Breezway with your specific project requirements.

*For horizontal coupling please consult Breezway.
Notes:
1. Design Wind Speed = Serviceability Limit State Wind Pressure / Design Wind Pressure / Permissible Stress. The ability of the window to perform the intended function under normal service conditions avoiding excessive deflection or the appearance of buckling.
2. Ultimate Wind Speed = Ultimate Limit State Wind Pressure / Ultimate Strength Pressure. The maximum load carrying resistance of the window. Subjecting the window to wind pressures in excess of the Ultimate Wind Speed is likely to result in the window collapsing.
3. Maximum blade lengths apply regardless of whether annealed glass, toughened glass or aluminium blades are used. Glass blades must be 6mm thick and straight and flat within 0.35mm/m.
4. Using the Stronghold System for 152mm blade lengths greater than 900mm The Stronghold System is an optional feature of the Altair Louvre Window which mechanically fixes the blades into the clips. These mechanical fixings enable bay widths of up to 1200mm to be achieved in some regions. In other regions, the ULS and Water Pass requirements of AS2047-2014 prevent these wider bay widths from being warranted. Easyscreen, or Altair Component System High Profile Sills and standard heights are required.
