Why choose external louvres?

  • External louvres give you total control over the amount of daylight that enters the room. Simply by adjusting the tiltable louvres in the desired position you can effectively reduce the amount of glare that hits the window resulting in heat reduction and long-term energy savings.

  • If there is a building material that is sustainable, it is without question; aluminium. External louvres are also far more sustainable than internal alternatives such as blinds or shutters which allow daylight in through gaps at the edges.

  • In order to prevent overheating in buildings, the Part ‘O’ Building Regulations require that homes and/or other buildings contain sufficient measures designed to:

    1. Limit unwanted solar gain in summer.

    2. Provide enough opportunity for heat removal from inside of building.

  • The most popular application for our louvres is an Apex/Gable shaped window. Louvres provide a stunning feature along with a perfect fit.

  • Our louvres are 100% tailor -made to your exact requirements. Our versatile louvres enable us to achieve a perfect fit for any shape or size window.

Consider your window shading early

Many people consider their window shading options after their new home build or renovation is complete. This limits the products you can consider and in some ways creates more building time resulting in higher costs. Using standard window shading such as internal shutters or blinds can ultimately be a last resort for most people, and these products can have a negative effect on reducing heat and sun glare. However choosing a product like external louvres can eliminate all of these problems, saving you time, money and even improve on your long-term energy saving.
