    GDL Louvre Selection Tool

    Welcome to the new GDL Louvre selection guide. To use this, insert your known data in the grey boxes below
    and the program will select a suitable square external louvre based on this. If you require a rectangular unit just
    insert the preferred height or width of the louvre and the other dimension will be calculated for you. The
    dimensions given are applicable to GDL products only and cannot be assumed to be correct for any other
    manufacturers products. GDL would welcome any feedback on this along with any other selection options you
    would like to see added.

    LOUVRE SELECTION IF VOLUME AND VELOCITY KNOWN


    Please note that all louvres have been based on a free area of
    Step 1: Select Louvre model required (50 or 70mm pitch): Pitch louvre 48%. This may reduce on smaller louvre sizes. Insect mesh
    Step 2: Input Air Volume (m³/s) - reduces the free area by approx. 15%
    Step 3: Input Face Area Velocity (m/s) -
