SwiftClip Aluminium Louvre Privacy Screen System

Create fixed aluminium louvre screening with the SwiftClip system. Combining 97mm x 16mm semi-aerofoil aluminium blades with purpose-designed mounting clips, the system positions each blade at a fixed 45-degree angle for consistent outdoor screening.

Shop the core SwiftClip components, including aluminium louvre blades, mounting clips, mechanical end plates and finishing caps for residential and commercial screening projects.

How the SwiftClip Louvre System Works

The SwiftClip system uses individual mounting clips to position 97mm x 16mm semi-aerofoil aluminium blades at a fixed 45-degree angle.

Each 70mm x 65mm mounting clip is manufactured from 6063-T6 aluminium and includes two 3.7mm diameter screw flutes. The clips support the aluminium louvre blades while keeping their angle consistent across the screen.

The maximum blade span between support mounting clips is 1400mm.

Fixing screws for attaching the mounting clips to the supporting substrate are not included. Appropriate fixings should be selected to suit the substrate.

97mm x 16mm Aluminium Louvre Blades

The SwiftClip system uses a 97mm x 16mm semi-aerofoil aluminium louvre blade manufactured from 6063-T6 aluminium alloy.

Blade specifications include:

• 97mm x 16mm semi-aerofoil profile

• 6063-T6 aluminium alloy

• 1.8mm wall thickness

• Two 3mm diameter screw flutes

• 6100mm overall length

• Available in multiple finishes

The long 6100mm aluminium extrusion has specific collection and delivery limitations. Check the product page and available delivery areas before ordering.

45-Degree Louvre Mounting Clips

The 70mm x 65mm SwiftClip mounting clips position each compatible aluminium louvre blade at a fixed 45-degree angle.

Each clip is 40mm wide and manufactured from 6063-T6 aluminium alloy. The clips incorporate screw flutes for compatible system components and support a maximum blade span of 1400mm between mounting clips.

Mounting clips are supplied in packs of four.

Mechanical Aluminium End Plates

Compatible 97mm x 7mm aluminium end plates provide a mechanical connection between the louvre blade and mounting clip.

Each pack contains:

• 10 left-hand end plates

• 10 right-hand end plates

• 40 stainless steel 304 countersunk screws

The 4mm-thick die-cast aluminium plates contain two countersunk fixing holes. One aligns with the louvre blade screw flute and the other with the mounting clip screw flute.

Louvre Blade End Caps

Black PE end caps are available to neatly finish exposed ends where powder-coated louvre blades have been cut to size.

The caps are manufactured from 2.5mm-thick UV-stabilised black PE and include two lugs that press into the louvre blade screw flutes.

They are supplied in packs of 10.

Where Can SwiftClip Louvre Screening Be Used?

The fixed aluminium louvre system can be used to create screening in residential and commercial settings.

Potential screening applications include concealing:

• Air-conditioning units

• Pool equipment and supplies

• Water pumps

• Other areas where fixed louvre screening is required

Check the dimensions, support locations, substrate and fixing requirements for your individual project before installation.

SwiftClip Aluminium Louvre FAQs

What is the SwiftClip louvre system?

SwiftClip is a fixed aluminium louvre screening system that combines 97mm x 16mm semi-aerofoil aluminium blades with purpose-designed mounting clips. The clips hold the blades at a fixed 45-degree angle.

What angle are SwiftClip louvre blades installed at?

The SwiftClip mounting clips position the compatible aluminium louvre blades at a fixed 45-degree angle.

Are SwiftClip louvres adjustable?

No. The mounting clips hold the aluminium louvre blades at a fixed 45-degree position. This is a fixed louvre screening system rather than an adjustable or operable louvre system.

What size are the SwiftClip aluminium louvre blades?

The semi-aerofoil blades measure 97mm x 16mm and are supplied in 6100mm lengths. They are manufactured from 6063-T6 aluminium alloy with a 1.8mm wall thickness.

What is the maximum span between SwiftClip mounting clips?

The published maximum blade span is 1400mm between support mounting clips.

Are screws included with the SwiftClip mounting clips?

No. Fixing screws for attaching the mounting clips to the substrate are not included. Appropriate fixings need to be selected for the substrate.

What are the aluminium end plates used for?

The 97mm x 7mm aluminium end plates mechanically connect the compatible louvre blade and mounting clip. One fixing hole aligns with the blade screw flute and the other with the mounting clip screw flute.

What are the black louvre end caps used for?

The black PE end caps provide a neat finish to exposed ends where powder-coated aluminium louvre blades have been cut to size. The caps press into the blade's screw flutes.

Can SwiftClip louvres be used to screen air-conditioning equipment?

The SwiftClip system can be used as fixed screening around areas such as air-conditioning units, pool equipment and water pumps. Project-specific support, clearance and installation requirements should still be considered.

How long are the aluminium louvre blades?

SwiftClip aluminium louvre blades are 6100mm long. Because these are long aluminium extrusions, collection and delivery availability is restricted by location. Check the product listing for current options before ordering.
