<< COLMAN MODUCEL - Building Materials and Architectural Building Products >>


Colman Moducel

Colman have been designing, supplying and installing architectural and mechanical louvres for over 30 years and therefore fully understand the requirements of its customers.

Their louvres have been developed with high performance and aesthetic appeal in mind, offering a standard range, whilst having the engineering and application capability to supply tailored products to meet specific size, colour, finish and performance requirements. All products are manufactured at Colman`s modern factory in Stoke-on-Trent and can be supplied to site as either factory assembled products, or as a site assembled clip-in system.

New Colman Clip-in Louvre system

To meet the need of where the time to carry out the installation of Louvres is short and where access may be a problem Colman have developed a site assembled clip-in system. The system can incorporate single and double doors with a wide range of optional accessories. Blades are available in 50mm, 75mm and 100mm pitch configuration. The blades are mounted on mullions by means of a factory fitted purpose designed aluminium clip to ensure accurate alignment of each blade profile. A high free area up to 60% with the 100mm system and low pressure loss enables the louvre to be ideal for screening, cladding and applications where conventional weathering needs are to be met. The system has been independently tested at BISRIA, where it was proven to be "light" but robust, technically advanced and easy to install.

Colman Factory Built Louvres

A standard range of louvres are available in 50mm and 70mm pitches, designed for sheltered exposure, moderate exposure and severe exposure conditions, with both flanged and flangeless models and optional accessories such as bird guard, insect screen, and burglar bars.

The Company has considerable experience in making louvres in complex and irregular shapes such as semi-circular, circular and triangular, with mitred corners, in multi bank assemblies and with single and double bank doors.

Specification

Colman louvres are manufactured from aluminium extrusions to BS 1474 and from aluminium sheet to BS1470. Bird Guards are made from galvanized mild steel weld mesh and insect screen from specialist nylon re-inforced mesh. Product finishing is varied; Mill finish, Polyester Powder Coatings to RAL and many British Standard finishes, PVF Resins, Syntha Pulvin and Anodised treatments to commercially available colours.

Customer Support Services

Technical support is available from both a team of external technical sales engineers based throughout the UK but also from the office in advising on product selections. Upon receipt of an order the Computer Aided design team liaises with either the Architect, Consultant or Contractor in ensuring that the chosen design is correct for the site where it can be installed through the Colman team of louver installers following manufacture.
