Linear Bar Grilles - Series AL
Introduction
Linear bar grilles have been designed to satisfy air diffusion
and engineering requirements as well as architectural
specifications. Linear grilles may be used in modular or
continuous situations for ceiling, side wall, cill or bulkhead
applications. The range is available with a wide variety of
special options and fabrications to suit most project
requirements.
Grilles can also be supplied with non standard frames /
borders as per the special requirements.

Description
Manufacture
All linear grilles are constructed from extruded aluminium
sections fabricated into modular assemblies using expanded Specification
tube production techniques. Frames are mitred and cleated. Linear supply and return/exhaust grilles shall be Ravistar type
AL constructed with tubed cores and cleated frames.
