Westfield Pacific Fair, QLD

The brief for louvre windows at Westfield Pacific Fair included several key elements:

• The ability to be fixed open at a particular angle to allow consistent 30% airflow and provide ventilation in the case of fire.
• The flexibility to be custom built to meet the widths specified by pre-fabricated structural steel
• To be corrosion proof, due to the building’s location within 1km of the beach

In assessing the options, Westfield chose Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows as the best solution to meet their needs.

Safetyline Jalousie were able to tailor make tamper proof levers for these windows and fix them open at the required angle.

Louvre spans up to 1400mm, and the ability to manufacture to specified widths, meant that Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows fit the bill in terms of flexibility in widths required.  Widths ranged from 1000mm to 1200mm depending on what was required between the structural steel posts.

Finally, concerns about corrosion are eliminated with Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows being made out of Aluminium, Zamac and stainless steel construction, and the use of high performance coatings on the aluminium frame.
