At Ventuer, we test our ventilation products to ensure they perform reliably and comply with key standards. Our testing covers rain defence, aerodynamic performance, acoustic attenuation, structural integrity, wind-induced noise, seismic movements, and thermal tolerances. Each test addresses specific risks to protect buildings and occupants.
Rain Defence and Airflow Performance
Rain ingress through weather louvres can cause costly damage to interiors and create health & safety hazards. Poor airflow reduces ventilation efficiency, creating additional risks. We test rain defence to the BS/EN:13030 standard, ensuring our louvres provide effective weather protection while maintaining optimal airflow.
Acoustic Performance and Wind-Induced Noise
Uncontrolled noise from poor acoustic attenuation or wind-induced vibrations disrupts building occupants. We test acoustic performance to ISO:10140-2, ensuring our louvres reduce noise while delivering efficient ventilation. This makes them suitable for demanding environments where noise control is essential.
Structural and Seismic Resilience
Buildings in New Zealand and Australia face dynamic forces like high winds and earthquakes. Our products are designed to comply with AS/NZS 1170, ensuring they can withstand the stresses of these conditions. We test structural integrity rigorously, confirming that our louvres maintain stability and safety under demanding loads.
Inadequate testing leads to water ingress, airflow issues, noise problems, and structural failures—all of which result in costly delays, repairs, and reputational damage. Our rigorous in-house testing, combined with independent certification by internationally recognised bodies, ensures our products meet all necessary performance and compliance standards.
We publish comprehensive performance data for all our products, giving you clear and reliable information to support your decisions. By focusing on transparency and accountability, we make it easy for professionals in New Zealand and Australia to specify with confidence and trust our products to perform.
