How Louvers Work and Where they are Used?
Louvers are a great building element that helps in air ventilation while keeping the unwanted components outside the building. The blades in the frame are designed and placed in a specific angle depending on the type of ventilation required. The blades mounted in the frame allow only air to pass though it keeping water, sand, dust and particles out.
These are placed in the building to provide airflow (intake and exhaust) to the service systems. They also act as a protective shield against the rain ingress during rainy seasons. Architectural Louvre systems can also be used for simple screening on buildings and provide an aesthetic and economical solution for this requirement. Their usage also depends on the functions they are required to perform; for example a car park may require maximum ventilation but little protection from rain penetration, so a conventional screening Louvre would be appropriate. A plant room or machinery room may require high levels of ventilation with maximum protection from water entry, in this case a performance Louvre would be the best and most suitable option.
