The SL2® Window System

Suitable for narrow frame applications

SL2

Featuring modern architectural lines, the SL2 Altair Louvre Window System has been developed to suit narrow frame applications and installation into concrete block construction when screening is not required. The SL2 Window System can effectively bring natural light and ventilation into the building to reduce the need for power-hungry artificial cooling systems. A build out is required to fit a screen to the outside of the SL2 Window Frame. The Easyscreen and Innoscreen Windows may be preferable if a screen is to be fitted.

SL2 Window System 3D Models

Online viewing of 3D models is a relatively new technology. Viewing 3D models requires a fast internet connection and reasonably high speed computer processor. Viewing may not be possible on some older computers. We recommend Google Chrome for the best viewing results.

SL2 Window System Dimensions

SL2 Standard Heights

While Altair Louvre Windows can be manufactured in any size specified, the wind and water rating for the building project will affect the maximum allowable window height and bay width. Please refer to the Altair Product Performance Warranty for technical information.

For standard heights in the Breezway SL2 Frame please see the size chart to the right. Off Standard heights are available but this will add cost and result in a fixed louvre blade to act as a filler piece.

Please note:

  • Standard Heights are measured from the lowest visible metal to the uppermost visible metal of the frame and excludes fins.
  • Off Standard Heights that are more than 5mm greater than or less than a Standard Height will have a top fixed blade to achieve the specified height. Off Standard heights that are within 5mm of a Standard Height will not have a fixed top blade.
  • Some off-standard heights are unavailable when using the 102mm Altair Louvre Galleries with the Stronghold System. For the SL2 System these include: Standard Height + 19mm to Standard Height + 30mm.
  • Refer to the product performance warranty on possible height restrictions for different blade types.
  • Standard sizes will save money and improve lead times.
SL2 Widths

There are no standard Altair Louvre widths. The desired window width can be achieved through multiple louvre bays (maximum bay width is 4000mm). The bay width may be affected by Building code rules. Please discuss with your Breezway Dealer and builder.
