WHAT IS A LOUVRE?
A louvre is a horizontal slat angled to allow light and air inside. The angle is created in such a way that it allows light and air but at the same time keeps out rain, direct sunlight and some noise pollution. The history of louvres dates back to the middle ages when they were made using crude wood. The slats were fitted into the holes of the roofs of large kitchens. At that time, the sole goal was to ensure popular ventilation to keep smoke out.
Modern-day louvres are used in louvred roofs and can be made up of different materials, including aluminium, metal, wood or even glass. I am sure you must be using them at your home without knowing what their name is. These horizontal slats are primarily found in windows, blinds and shutters. The angle can be adjusted or fixed, and in mostly louvre roofs, you will find these slats fixed at a certain angle.
However, modern-day manufacturers are manufacturing them so that the louvres can be adjusted and the slides can be rotated 180 degrees. One more feature is that the louvres can be moved manually, or there is a motorised option that is controlled using a remote system.
MODERN-DAY LOUVRED ROOFS
Homeowners these days are using the louvred roof for superior ventilation and protecting the patio from rainwater. In the closed position, they form functional rain channels that are large enough to eliminate any water before it leaks. The reason is that these manufacturers use extruded thick gauge aluminium that is capable of withstanding any weather condition while staying completely immune from rust, corrosion, and other issues for years and years.
In addition to offering complete protection to the patio from rain, the louvred roof system can also improve the outdoor living environment. It helps you improve the outdoor environment by controlling temperature and lighting. The louvred system can limit harsh brightness and naturally let the cool air ventilate the patio. Last but not least, they are a practical element that can easily enhance your property's modern aesthetic appeal.
