Modern louvres and shutters are easy to operate and come in a large range of styles and materials to meet design and function demands. Classic glazed window louvres make living spaces more open and inviting by promoting natural ventilation while fixed or moveable shutters can give protection from the sun or address privacy concerns.
Glazed moveable louvres such as Breezway are a popular choice as they allow almost 100% of available air to flow through a window opening with minimal impact on light and views.
When correctly positioned, this encourages natural cross flow ventilation, which in turn minimises the need for mechanical cooling. Breezway louvres can also be integrated with framing to create secondary glazed units with clear glass or aluminium louvres depending on the requirements. This versatile system can be incorporated into many Alspec framing systems, allowing louvres to match existing framing.
For sun protection, products such as SolaireTM Fixed Louvres or CityScapeTM Operable Plantation Shutters can dramatically assist with room temperature control. Well-positioned louvres and shutters can be installed in conjunction with openable windows or as a standalone feature shading open air spaces to provide shelter and privacy.
Taylors Aluminium manufacture a wide selection of louvres and shutters suitable for both residential and commercial environments and are well-placed to help determine which type of louvre or shutter is appropriate for a project’s specific location or application.
