EBSA has been recognised at the Zak Awards for Excellence in Facade Design & Engineering, winning the Excellence in Facade Innovation – Product category for the MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre (MP2-FL-OP).

This award adds to a growing list of industry recognitions for the MP2 Opposed Opening Louvres, which includes:

Most Innovative Louvre System 2023 – APAC Business Awards
Most Innovative Window Solution 2024 – AGWA QLD Design Awards
Highly Commended – Most Innovative Window Solution – AGWA 2024 National Awards

Originally introduced in 2012, the Schneider MP2 louvre quickly established itself as a market leader as energy efficiency requirements under the NCC intensified. Its performance has been proven through stringent testing, including cyclone resistance at 32m/s, AS4284 compliance, and even earthquake performance.

The MP2 Opposed Opening Louvre (MP2-FL-OP) was developed in close collaboration with our client on the Seafarers Project to resolve challenges around sightlines, ventilation, and water ingress. The result is a system that allows unobstructed views while maintaining exceptional weather performance, with the added flexibility of simultaneous or independent blade operation.
