In the last few years, companies have increased the durability, sophistication and versatility of louvres, making it a more formidable option, and leaving homeowners with a difficult decision to make when choosing the configuration of their windows.

Though louvres have been primarily used for ventilation, technology and modern manufacturing processes have turned it into an extremely versatile product. Uses for louvres extend beyond providing airflow throughout a home can make your residential property more comfortable and functional.

Without knowing what modern louvres have to offer, homeowners may resort to an option that’s less suitable for their home and family and miss out on the benefits of our aluminium louvres. In this article, we’ll outline four benefits of aluminium louvres that will help you decide if it’s the right choice for your family home.

4 reasons to install aluminium windows in your home

• Provide sun shading 

Louvres facilitate excellent and controlled shade from the sun. You can manoeuvre the louvres according to how much light is needed or not needed in your home. Louvres also have the added benefit of allowing you to fully enjoy the sun’s rays without having to compromise on privacy as the angle of the windows prevents prying eyes from seeing inside.

• Increase air ventilation

Louvres can naturally cool your air, through their flat elliptical blades. When natural ventilation flows through your home, it makes the interior more comfortable for your family and prevents dampness in rooms with high humidity such as bathrooms or laundry rooms.

We highly recommend installing your louvres in the direction of wind for them to be most effective.

• Improve the sustainability in your home

Louvres are a great feature for improving the sustainability of your home. As it facilitates air ventilation and provides sun shading, your home will be much cooler, negating the need for an air conditioning system. This reduces your energy consumption, improves your home’s sustainability and has the added benefit of decreasing your electricity bill.

• Add an architectural feature to your facade

Louvres can transform into either a traditional or contemporary element for your home, depending on your vision and your family’s needs. You can customise your louvres’ powder coating colour, dimensions and configuration.
