Sunshade louvres, also known as sun control devices or sun screens, are designed to reduce the amount of direct sunlight that enters a building, while still allowing natural light in. These louvres consist of a series of horizontal slats that can be fixed or adjustable to any angle on the facade of a building or installed above windows or doors.
Our sunshade louvres follow the passive-design recommendations of the Australian Government’s YourHome guide, helping to block unwanted summer sun, maintain indoor comfort, and reduce cooling energy costs.
In addition to controlling the amount of sunlight entering a
building, sunshade louvres can also reduce excessive heat gain, resulting in lower air conditioning requirements and energy savings. Conversely, in colder months, sun control devices can allow more solar heat gain into the interior of a building, reducing the cost of heating.
Sunshade louvres come in various sizes and shapes, and can be made of different materials such as wood, metal, or fabric. They can be designed to block direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day, and to allow greater light penetration during cooler times. Sun control devices can also protect windows from damage caused by windblown debris during storms.
Whether you’re designing, building or upgrading, we can guide you to the right louvre system. Get in touch and let our experienced team help bring your project to life.
