Operable Mechanical Louvres

[dik]

Does anyone have a good approx weight of electrically operable extruded aluminum mechanical louvres in psf? The sizes are approximately 6'x9' and they have to function in a cold environment. The adjacent building walls are substantially covered with them... approx 75%. I'm planning to trim the ROs with CFS channel sections as opposed to rolled channels. Any problem with that approach. I've asked for loading and support requirements without success. The non-louvred parts of the wall are prefinished metal siding on CFS studs, with the lower floor walls supporting brick veneer.

So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates
