Sun Louvres

Sun Louvres are both aesthetically pleasing and practical; they control the amount of sunlight entering a building, factory or home.

Sun Louvres are pre-painted in an extensive range of colours.

The triple layered enamel is always white on the reverse side to reduce glare and optimise natural light from entering the building.

Give you maximum sun control although Sun Louvres are light weight and very strong.

Clip onto an external support structure and are thus easy to install.

Create a modern, attractive, versatile and energy efficient finish for any home or architectural application.

Leading architects use them as design features to create astounding layering and depth to their designs turning an ordinary building into a work of art.

Sun louvres, also known as sunshades or sunscreens, are architectural elements designed to control and manage the amount of sunlight that enters a building while maintaining visibility and aesthetic appeal.

Here is some information about sun louvres:

Purpose and Benefits: Sun louvres are primarily installed on the exterior of buildings to mitigate the impact of direct sunlight. They provide the following benefits:

Sunlight Control: They effectively reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering a building, minimizing glare and heat gain. This helps create a more comfortable indoor environment and reduces the need for artificial cooling.

Energy Efficiency: By reducing the amount of solar heat gain, sun louvres contribute to energy efficiency by reducing the demand for air conditioning and lowering cooling costs.

Daylighting: Sun louvres allow natural light to enter the building while diffusing it. This helps distribute light more evenly, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Privacy: Sun louvres can also provide privacy by limiting the view from the exterior, preventing direct line of sight into the building while maintaining visibility from the inside.

Aesthetics: Sun louvres can enhance the visual appeal of a building’s façade, adding a modern and sleek architectural feature.

Design and Materials: Sun louvres comes in assorted designs and materials, depending on the desired functionality and aesthetics. Common materials used for sun louvres include aluminium, steel, wood and composite materials. Aluminium louvres are popular due to their durability, lightweight nature and resistance to corrosion.

Louvre Blade Orientation: Sun louvres can have either horizontal or vertical orientation. Horizontal louvres are more effective in blocking overhead sunlight, while vertical louvres are better suited to control sunlight at different angles throughout the day.

Louvre Blade Shapes: Louvre blades can have various shapes, such as flat, elliptical or aerofoil-shaped. The shape influences the aesthetics, light diffusion and performance of the sun louvres.

Adjustable and Fixed Louvres: Sun louvres can be either adjustable or fixed:

Adjustable Louvres: These louvres can be manually or motorized controlled to adjust the angle of the blades, allowing for dynamic control of sunlight throughout the day.

Fixed Louvres: Fixed sun louvres have a fixed angle and do not offer the flexibility to adjust the blade position. They are often used when a specific angle or aesthetic design is desired.

Installation: Sun louvres are typically installed on the exterior of a building’s façade, windows or overhangs. They can be integrated during the construction phase or added as retrofits to existing buildings.

Maintenance: Sun louvres generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the louvre blades and inspection for any signs of damage or corrosion is recommended to ensure their functionality and longevity.
