Aluminum louvers, are architectural features made up of a series of horizontal slats—typically angled to allow air or light to pass through while keeping out rain, direct sun, and strong wind.
“Protect your home from harsh equatorial sun and reduce indoor heat by up to 60%.”
“Powder-coated aluminum louvers, built to last in rain, wind, and salty air—no rust, no fuss.”
They’re commonly used as:
🔧 Functional Shading Systems:
- Sun protection – They act like a sunshade or awning, reducing heat gain inside a building.
- Wind buffering – The slanted design helps diffuse strong wind without completely blocking airflow.
- Rain deflection – Even during heavy rain, water tends to bounce or drip off the angled blades instead of hitting the window directly.
🛠 Materials & Design:
- Material: In this case, it’s aluminum, which is lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable for long-term exterior use.
- Blade orientation: The slats are set at a slight downward angle, ideal for shielding glass panels (like in your image).
- Mounting: These louvers are mounted a bit away from the wall, giving room for ventilation and easy window maintenance.
🔍 Common Use Cases:
- For homes with large glass windows (like yours), especially on sun-exposed sides.
- On commercial buildings, often seen on facades for aesthetic appeal + function.
- Sometimes used for mechanical ventilation areas, like covering air-con units or generator rooms.
In the image, each shielding a window. They’re sleek, symmetrical, and look well-installed. Perfect for tropical or hot climates like Malaysia where sun and rain are intense.
