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.
ADA Louvres designs and manufactures high-quality sunshade louvre systems in Australia, providing effective solar control, glare reduction, and architectural screening for commercial and residential projects.
Our range of aluminium sunshade louvres is engineered to reduce heat gain while maintaining natural light and outward visibility, making them ideal for modern façade design, sun hoods, and screening applications.
All systems are custom-made in Adelaide using premium materials and tailored to suit your project requirements.
The Modbury Series is a compact, panelised aluminium sun-louvre system designed for applications where a slim profile and clean sightlines are essential. Its reduced overall depth allows it to integrate seamlessly into façades while still providing effective shading performance.
Blades are mounted on a central tie-rod with consistent spacing and set to an optimal shading angle, delivering a neat, uniform appearance with low maintenance and long-term durability.

The Crew Series is a panelised aluminium sunshade system designed for both horizontal sun hoods and vertical façade screens. With a wider blade spacing than the Modbury Series, it provides a strong balance between shading performance and visual openness.
Blades are mounted on a central tie-rod with precision spacers to maintain a consistent pitch and angle, resulting in a clean, repeatable architectural finish with efficient installation.

The ELV150 is an architectural sunshade louvre system featuring a deep elliptical aerofoil blade designed to deliver high-performance shading while maintaining outward views and daylight. Its aerodynamic profile reduces glare and solar heat gain, making it ideal for projects requiring both performance and strong architectural impact.
The system can be installed horizontally or vertically and mounted using frames or bracket systems, allowing flexibility to suit a wide range of façade designs.
