Breezway is committed to investing in the continuous improvement and innovation of our Altair Louvre Window products so you can feel confident supplying a brand you can trust. Please see below the following updates to our Altair Louvre product offer.
102mm Altair Louvre Clip Design
Breezway would like to announce a small design change to the 102mm Altair Louvre clip. This product will be moving to the same MK2 design as the 152mm Altair Louvre clip, with an overall reduction in length of 6.5mm offering better clearance for screening scenarios and internal protrusion.
The recycling plastic identification code has also been moulded into the new clip to facilitate easier recycling. There is no change to product performance or standard gallery heights.
The 102mm Stronghold System and 102mm 14mm Timber clips will be unaffected. The date of the change to the new 102mm Altair Louvre clips for 6mm blades will be communicated in due course.
Please note: No Breezway orders will use mixed clip designs, so there will be no chance of visible difference on the same order. If you have any ongoing projects using 102mm Altair Louvre clips, please discuss this with your relevant Breezway Area Manager to ensure all clips remain the same.
Updated IGLU System Product Offer
Following feedback from architects, designers, and our valued customers, the Double Glazed IGLU Louvre System will soon see an aesthetic change to its product offer.
For orders placed from 25th September 2023 the standard IGLU System product offer will change to black clips only, along with black weatherstripping.
Since its launch a little over a year ago, black clips have been favoured by specifiers due to it making the window feel larger and drawing the eye further through. The head and sill weatherstripping, also being black, forms a neater, squared opening regardless of the colour of the rest of the frame.
These inserts will be supplied in a commercial grade (25 year) black matt powder, making them suitable for commercial projects and ocean front buildings.
The range of clip colours currently available for the IGLU System will remain available for a period of time through the Out Of Product Offer (OOPO) process.
14mm Altair Louvre Clips and Timber Blades
Having seen very low usage for a number of years, we would like to advise you that Breezway will be discontinuing Timber blades, and subsequently 14mm Altair Louvre clips from our product offer from 1st July 2024.
Following this date, this product will be available through the Out of Product Offer (OOPO) process until stock is exhausted.
If you have any ongoing projects that require Timber blades, please speak with your local Breezway Representative. For shading or privacy scenarios, Aluminium blades, Aluminium Timber-look blades, and Obscure Glass blades are ideal solutions.
Quote and Order Assistance
We would like to take this opportunity to remind all customers of our quote and order forms that are available to help guide you through the customising options Breezway offers to ensure all relevant details for your order are captured.
In particular our Daylight Opening Form for Altair Louvre Componentry. This form allows customers to provide the details to suit a specific opening while ensuring all parts and customisation options are accounted for, with built-in cell logic that help block incompatible features dependant on your selections.
For example, when selecting the Powerlouvre System as an operation type this will ensure you are only able to select security U-channel as a security bar option, rather than the Powerlouvre incompatible security jamb.
This form is available on the business page of our new website here: https://www.breezway.com.au/business/
Please note: It is always recommended that the MS Excel version of these forms be used to optimise your quoting and ordering experience.
