The horizontal aluminium Linius slats form a new facade, around the outer shell of the data centre. This solution has been an established feature of Renson’s range for many years and has been used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial projects. Throughout the years, Renson optimized and further developed the louvres, according to feedback from the field.

Demountable facades are the future Server technology is evolving at lightning speed. When building data centres, companies are already thinking about how to replace servers quickly and efficiently in the short term. A fully demountable facade makes this complex process much faster, simpler and safer. From a deep-rooted sense of innovation, Renson’s CSI department develops and tests new Linius concepts to provide a ready- made answer to this challenge. Meanwhile, the Linius cassettes already proved to be a good solution for building this kind of demountable facade. The wide range of blades ensures that there is always a suitable type available. Thanks to the extensive range, large spans, for example, pose no problem at all. A combination of blades (including acoustic or water-repellent types), supports, and integrated doors consistently provides a customized solution. With a RAL colour of your choice as the finishing touch.
