Key Features
- Pultruded FRP angles, channels, or T-sections with high moisture resistance. Engineered for rigidity to support louver weight and withstand wind loads. Often finished in corrosion-resistant gelcoat or anti-slip coating. Available in any length or profile to match tower design.
Benefits
- Maintain precise louver spacing and alignment over years of service. FRP resists rot, rust, or chemical attack that would degrade metal or wood supports. Lightweight FRP means easier installation and lower shipping costs. Non-corrosive supports prevent staining or fouling of louvers, keeping airflow optimized.
Applications
- Used in crossflow cooling tower cells and HVAC intake walls to mount PVC, FRP, or metallic louver sections. Also found in basin covers or drift eliminators when louvers are incorporated. Ideal for corrosive applications (e.g. municipal wastewater towers).
Technical Specifications
- Louvre support members are typically small- to medium-sized pultrusions (e.g. 50x50mm angles or 100x50mm channels) with fiber content 60–70%. They are cut and assembled onsite to fit tower dimensions.
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Offers a fully non-metallic solution for louver framing. Since louvers themselves are often PVC or FRP, using FRP supports prevents differential corrosion. The FRP supports also integrate seamlessly with FRP louvers and walls, creating a maintenance-free facade.
