ACMF offers a range of attractive and high performance louvre systems and screens designed to optimise natural light and ventilation while keeping glare and heat gain in check. The range includes:

• Aero Louvres: An aerodynamic profile designed to optimise airflow and reduce wind resistance — ideal for high-wind areas.
• Quadro Louvres: A robust square profile offering enhanced structural integrity and durability — suitable for large commercial buildings and industrial applications.
• Mechanical Louvres: Louvres which can be integrated with building management systems for precise light and air control — perfect for smart buildings, office complexes, and projects where automated control is required.
• ACMF Screens: Perforated and expanded sheet metal screens, mesh, grating and bespoke, custom screens — ideal for creating unique façades with the benefits of privacy, shade and light control.

With options for fixed and adjustable configurations and a broad range of colours and finishes to choose from, the ACMF team can work with you to create a bespoke louvre and screen specification that perfectly hits the brief on both aesthetics and performance.

Maximise airflow

ACMF louvres are designed to maximise natural airflow, offering passive ventilation and reducing the need for mechanical ventilation systems. By strategically placing louvres to capture prevailing winds, ACMF creates effective cross-ventilation that helps maintain indoor air quality and comfort. To achieve this optimal airflow while ensuring structural integrity, ACMF uses state-of-the-art Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to design and develop their louvres systems for each project.

Optimise natural light and shading

ACMF louvres and screens are engineered to optimise natural daylight penetration while minimising glare and heat gain. Adjustable louvres can be angled to direct light deeper into the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting. The angle and orientation of louvres also helps to manage solar heat gain, resulting in more comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing reliance on HVAC systems.

Enhance energy efficiency

ACMF louvres and screens offer a passive approach to ventilation, shading and natural light which can significantly reduce energy consumption and enhance the overall sustainability of a building. By incorporating louvres, building owners can reduce the need for electric lighting, ventilation and air conditioning — all while maintaining indoor comfort. 

Create bespoke louvre designs with ACMF’s full design service

To help architects achieve their design goals, ACMF offers end-to end project support — from design and engineering, through to installation and quality assurance.

“Our team can go through the whole design process with architects,” explains Marius Koen, ACMF. “We offer PS1s, provide all analysis including windloads and even looking at the noise the wind makes when it goes through the screens, and we also assist with the compliance pathway.”  

This support not only ensures performance requirements are met but is also key to creating bespoke screens and louvre systems that enhance the overall design. A great example of this is 37 Francis Street, a beautiful residential property featuring custom-perforated privacy screens that are automated and integrated with the building management system, providing privacy, convenience and an elegant façade. 

“If an architect wants something unique, we look at how we can make that work,” says Marius.
