Could Your Home in Brisbane Benefit from Louvre Windows, Adjustable Glass Blades and Fly Screens?

Modern home design presents homeowners with numerous options, often too many to consider simultaneously.

Even with windows, there are many choices to make. One elegant and flexible option is to select glass Louvre windows, as they have a distinctive appearance and a design that makes them useful for switching between an open-air feeling and a closed-off interior space.

Integrated flyscreen channels within our 525 Series LouvreMaster™ frame means they have been designed to operate without obstruction once flyscreens are installed. Special sill design guides water out of the window system and away from the interior. Louvre blades can be glass or, powder-coated aluminium.

There are several variations within the design of Louvre windows available to configure, each having their own benefits. The knowledgeable team at Architectural Windows & Doors can help you determine a choice that’s suited to your home while fulfilling what you’re looking for from your new windows. Keep reading to learn some ways you may benefit from choosing adjustable Louvre windows.

Distinguish Between Adjustable Louvre Windows’ Design Options and What Solution they Provide

Louvre windows have operable galleries of glass, aluminium or timber blades each of which rotate from closed (vertical) to fully open (horizontal) and are positioned two-thirds to the outside. Up to 7 blades are operated at a time by a single handle. For high-elevation applications you can use a telescopic map-rod in conjunction with ring-pull handles or the electric automated version: PowerLouvre.

  • Material Options – Our Louvre window blades are available in several material variations: glass, , and aluminium. For those instances where a consistently unobstructed view is important, glass is the definitive option. Where privacy is a consideration and aluminium are better suited. Depending on the application and aesthetic of your space and home, one style will suit over the other. We integrate the industry-leading Breezway system into our frames which are designed to exceed Australia’s regulatory standards and withstand harsh weather conditions.
  • Structural Variants – There are two series to decide between, depending on the location and use you anticipate for your Louvre windows. The Series 417 is made for those instances where privacy is an important consideration, especially if you are enclosing an outdoor space, such as a balcony or patio. Series 525 has an added option, the Stronghold® system, designed with multi-storey residential apartments or offices in mind. The additional strength involved in the system lets it withstand even harsher conditions without fracture or blade damage.
  • Additional Features – You can choose between blade lengths of 102mm or 152mm. Longer blades will allow for more space between them to view the outside, while smaller blades give more precise control over airflow. The LouvreMaster™ system also permits the installation of seamless insect screens for Louvre windows so that you can let the air in without any unwanted guests.
