What are Louvers?
Louvers (also known as blades or fins) are a vital component of modern architectural design. They can be installed on the roof or front of a building to help with heat management and light. The materials used to make them include wood, steel and aluminium. The benefits of aluminium over other materials have made it more popular in architects and builders.
What are the Benefits of Adding Aluminium Louvers?
Modern louvers can be made of materials that are resistant to external stresses. Many building owners are now taking advantage of the benefits of aluminium louvers for all types of structures.
Lightweight
Aluminium, one of the world's lightest metals, is used by many industries because of its lightweight. Aluminium, for instance, is 33% lighter than steel. It is, therefore, possible to install aluminium louvers with ease and in just a few different profiles, without compromising strength.
If you're working with a Louver project, installing aluminium louvers will require only minimal help. You can also increase the safety of your process and reduce damages to your building material.
Reduced maintenance requirements
Another feature of aluminium louvers is their corrosion-resistance. The properties of aluminium, which is unlike other metals such as copper or non-galvanized materials, does not rust or corrode. Aluminium creates aluminium oxide when exposed to oxygen, or other oxide-forming materials. This layer protects the metal against corrosion.
The maintenance of aluminium louvers is greatly reduced when they are made from non-corrosive materials. This means that you will not have to put in as much effort for repairs and maintenance. Aluminium does not rot or erode like wood. They are a great option for building structures that will last many decades.
Versatile
Aluminium is not only lightweight but also extremely flexible, which allows it to be bent, cut and shaped. It is possible to get a customized louver that suits your requirements and preferences.
You could choose a louver made with smaller blades or larger ones. You can include features like better airflow and waterproof sealing, particularly if you intend to use louvers inside.
Visually-appealing
Aluminium louvers will enhance the look of any modern structure. With the metallic finish, these louvers can help you achieve an aesthetically-pleasing design for any modern structure.
Louvers can be converted into awnings instead of fabric. During rainy weather, the shutters are easily retracted. In summer they can be opened for shade and to keep the building cool.
Aluminium louvers, in addition to awnings, can be used as modern windows that do not need to be swung inside. For easier access, an operator handle could be installed on the louvers.
Improved Insulation
Aluminium louvers can be used to improve the insulation of any building's interior without energy drawbacks. Most building owners have a difficult time cooling or heating their buildings. It may be unsustainable to use excessive energy for cooling and heating, both in terms of the environment and electricity bills.
In this regard, they will provide better insulation for any structure. The slats allow for natural ventilation while also keeping out unwanted elements.
We can also insulate them with other materials, which will improve the temperature and sound insulation. This will allow the building's occupants more comfort during any type of weather conditions.
Durable
Aluminium, as mentioned above, has a better strength-to-weight than steel which means aluminium has a greater weight advantage than steel and can achieve the same strength as compared to others. If you use a protective coating such as powder, your aluminium louvers should last for decades and even centuries.
Eco-Friendly
Aluminium louvers are a great way to reduce your energy usage for ventilation such as air conditioners and heaters. You can reduce your impact on our environment by choosing eco-friendly material such as aluminium.
The infinite recyclability of aluminium is another reason why they are eco-friendly. When you are no longer using the aluminium products, you can repurpose them for other purposes without quality degradation.
At Argos Systems we designed many aluminium louver systems. Louvers play a pivotal role in architectural design by providing shading against sun exposure. Our variety gives your outside a metallic look and is precisely crafted to provide protection from sunlight. The metallic finish has become more well-liked in the sector as it reflects current design trends. For your exterior installations, each louver is carefully made from a combination of high-grade aluminium, ensuring durability and longevity. Our exclusive collection includes a variety of styles that can improve the appearance of your home or business place.
