Apprentice question

Field check

Standard work. Do it right, keep moving.

Why can a normal transfer louver fail an architectural light-leak check?

Airflow may be correct but the louver style may not meet the room privacy/acoustic need. Use the approved sight-proof/acoustic transfer louver type.

['A straight-blade transfer louver can move air but still allow line-of-sight light through the wall. In conference rooms, projector rooms, studios, or privacy spaces, that can be a finish rejection even if airflow is fine.', 'Confirm the architectural/acoustic requirement, net free area, and wall rating. The likely fix is a chevron, sight-proof, or acoustic transfer louver assembly that blocks line-of-sight while keeping the required air path.']
