Architecturally sun louvres are used to add finesse, form and function. Well designed sun louvres can be a beautiful addition to a building as the louvres allow the natural environmental elements of a location to work effortlessly together with the façade of a building to create shade, air flow and an aesthetic appeal.
Sun louvres can be utilized in a variety of systems. Including Hand Operable, Motorised, End Fixed, Bracket Fixed, Eyebrow and Shutter.
By use of a stainless steel crank handle or by a pivot mechanism or motorised – By convenient Somfy motors and remote control
All Kudos blades can be used as end fixed louvres. End fixed louvres are secured by channels/sections screw-fixed into their ends. If the the pitch and size of the louvres dictates that the blades protrude in front of and behind the channels, then end caps will be provided to seal the louvre and ensure a neat finish. However, in many situations, end fixed louvres will sit neatly inside the channels when using a steeper blade pitch, smaller blades and/or a wider channel.
Bracket fixing is an elegant system leaving the louvres unencumbered and seemingly floating.
Eyebrow – Overhead eyebrows project out from the façade of a building and provides solar protection to the glazing below. Often used on T-Section out riggers or framed, eyebrow louvre installations can utilize both bracket fixed and end fixed louvre blades.
