Our new & pioneering ‘Continuous Line’
Acoustic Louvre system
The unique and modular design maintains a ‘continuous line’ appeal that’s easy to assemble with our optional integrated steel work support system.
Visually attractive and versatile
With our Continuous Line Acoustic Louvres you can achieve a similar visual appearance to Continuous Line Weather Louvres. A range of sound reduction performance options are then available to suit your particular requirements including Attenuators mounted at the rear for even greater performance.
Being the largest company in the UK that manufactures Continuous Line Acoustic Louvres, Continuous Line Weather Louvres and Attenuators in-house we will recommend the best performing and most cost effcient solution for your project.
Contemporary looks, enhanced by improved performance. We are proud to be leading edge.
One multi-purpose system with many applications
Acoustic Louvre applications include: fresh air intakes and exhausts for ventilation systems, mechanical equipment screens or enclosures, natural ventilation and façade cladding, all providing a seamless look wherever they are used.
For a totally individual appearance, the Acoustic Louvres are fabricated from galvanised steel and can be finished in polyester powder paint to a wide range of RAL colours.
You can be confident in our performance testing
We like to do things properly and our Acoustic Louvre range has therefore been rigorously tested to offer performance data that you can trust. Applicable standards are:
Sound Reduction BS EN ISO 10140-2: 2010 (SRL)
Insertion Loss and Pressure Loss BS EN ISO 7235: 2009 (LCP)
Fire Safety Classification BS EN 13501-1:2018 (Warringtonfire)
Rainwater Penetration BS EN ISO 13030: 2001 (BSRIA)
More details on these test standards are available upon request.
Fire safety testing and classification for high-rise buildings
Caice Acoustic Louvres have been fire tested by Warringtonfire according to the requirements of BS EN 13501-1: 2018 to ensure they are suitable for high-rise buildings. Because the safety of our clients and the users of the buildings where our products are installed is our highest priority.
Caice Acoustic Louvres achieve a classification of A2-s1,d0
Why risk buildings under 11 metres height by specifying Acoustic Louvres that haven’t been tested to allow classification to BS EN13501-1 when Caice products achieve a classification of A2-s1, d0. Building Regulations apply to all “building work” and are not limited to residential or high-rise buildings.
Read about testing and classification and ensure your compliance with the Building Safety Act.
Class A rainwater penetration
Rainwater will penetrate into a building through standard Acoustic Louvres. So we have developed a unique rainwater rejection system that can be fitted to the rear of the Acoustic Louvres to achieve Class A rainwater penetration when tested at BSRIA (99% effective at 1m/s face velocity).
Built with designers and architects in mind
CASE STUDY
Infinity Here East Data Centre
(previously the Olympic Media Centre)
East London
We designed, supplied and installed £2.69m worth of SS150 Acoustic Louvres and support steelwork as a façade to protect residential neighbours from plant noise emissions from this new data centre.
Supporting you every step of the way
We are always delighted to answer your questions and provide you with detailed specifications acoustic design and pricing. If you have a complex project then we can develop products or design solutions to meet your specialist needs with our bespoke service.
Beautifully designed
All our contracts are drawn by skilled technicians, using AutoDesk Inventor, building accurate 3D models of the products, so all elements fit perfectly with each other and your building.
Partner with experts who understand you and your market
Continuous investment in automated manufacturing
Advanced technology is central to our Production facilities in Dorset. From automated laser profiling and folding of sheet metal parts to high-quality polyester powder painting for a durable and long-lasting finish. We hate waste of all kinds and so continuously drive them out. Guaranteeing you the highest quality products, achieving your expectations, and all delivered at the lowest possible cost.
Accurate installation, on time and budget
Our highly trained project managers will work with you to ensure our products are installed on time and to budget, even for the most challenging of projects. The unique modular design of our Acoustic Louvres makes installation faster, helping to save vital time on site. We have even designed an innovative front fix bracket system for situations where the louvers can only be installed from the front.
Acoustic Louvre applications
Our acousticians will recommend the best solution for your project based on your specific application and requirements. Whether natural or mechanical ventilation is required, what demand there is for sound reduction and if unsightly buildings or plant need ‘hiding’ from view.
The geographical location and height above sea level will also determine exposure to weather and wildlife which may require added protection. Whatever your challenges, we’ll have you covered.
UKCA & CE marked Acoustic Louvre doors
As well as being a legal requirement, your wellbeing and safety is important to us so our doors are both UKCA and CE marked. Doors are available as both single and double leaf. There’s an extensive range of furniture options to meet both your safety and security requirements. They are offered for active airflow or provided as dummy profiles with blanking.
Nobody likes noisy neighbours.

Steelwork support system
We have developed a steelwork support system that can be fully integrated into our design to enable easy installation of Acoustic Louvres for screening applications, enclosures or within large building apertures. Calculations can be provided to ensure structural and wind loading requirements are achieved.
CASE STUDY
Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (CERC)
St Austell, Cornwall.
We designed a completely new Acoustic Louvre to meet the Class A rainwater penetration requirements for this exposed project near the coast.
High winds and working through the winter also made installation challenging at 50 meters above the ground. Yet it was completed safely and on time with special scissor lifts externally and abseilers inside.
Our contemporary louvres can be designed to suit any shape and size for any building project
Reduce noise levels with our continuous line acoustic louvre systems
Noises that can be generated from plant and machinery within built-up areas can become a serious issue for any building project, our acoustic louvres will eliminate any potential issues from noisy items.
Modern buildings require substantial air input and extraction for mechanised and natural ventilation. Your project will have its own unique set of requirements and our range of acoustic louvres will satisfy most circumstances. We’ll rise to every challenge and our bespoke service will meet your needs if required.
Our continuous line acoustic louvres are fabricated from galvanised steel and are finished in powder-coated paint, with most RAL finishes available. Download our continuous line acoustic louvre brochure, below:
