Levolux Provides Efficient Screening Solution
A range of high performance ventilation louvres from Levolux has provided London’s newly refurbished Empress State Building with the perfect solution to disguise unsightly plant and equipment whilst providing efficient ventilation.

For the screening of the ground floor plant room and roof top machinery, architects Wilkinson Eyre, working with main contractor Bovis Lend Lease on behalf of client Land Securities, appointed Levolux.
