Aluminum Frame Glass Louvers for Residential

Product Overview

Unlike traditional windows that force a choice between open ventilation (risking privacy) or closed opacity (limiting light), these louvers merge high-grade aluminum frames—treated for long-term outdoor resilience—and precision-engineered glass panels to deliver a versatile solution. They effectively regulate airflow to reduce reliance on air conditioning (cutting energy costs by up to 15% in mild climates), enhance indoor comfort by minimizing stuffiness, and complement contemporary home designs—from minimalist apartments to suburban villas. Whether installed in a bedroom seeking soft morning light or a patio needing protection from afternoon showers, they maintain unobstructed light penetration while shielding interiors from dust, rain, and prying eyes.

Product Features

Structural Durability: Frames are constructed with 1.4mm - 2.0mm thick aluminum profiles (exceeding ASTM D792 standards for residential fenestration) and crafted from 6063 - T5 aluminum alloy—a material with a tensile strength of 210 MPa and yield strength of 170 MPa, ensuring resistance to warping under wind loads (up to 3kPa) and temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 80°C). This alloy also offers exceptional corrosion resistance, even in coastal or humid climates prone to salt spray or mold.

Thermal Efficiency: Equipped with EPDM weather-stripping seals that reduce air leakage by up to 30%, these louvers meet EN 12207 thermal performance standards, minimizing heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments. In summer, this keeps cool air inside; in winter, it retains warmth, reducing HVAC system strain.

Adjustable Design: Precision-machined hinges (made from stainless steel 304 for rust resistance) allow 180° rotation for customizable airflow control—from a gentle breeze to full ventilation. Paired with tempered glass panels (4mm - 6mm thick), which meet ANSI Z97.1 safety standards, the louvers resist impact (withstanding a 500g steel ball drop from 1.2m) and block 90% of harmful UV rays to protect furniture from fading.

Low Maintenance: The aluminum surface undergoes a pre-treatment process (degreasing, chromating) before finishing, creating a barrier against rust and fading. Routine cleaning requires only mild detergent and a soft cloth; glass panels feature a hydrophobic coating that repels water spots, ensuring long-term clarity without frequent scrubbing.

Product Applications

Perfect for various residential spaces, tailored to specific lifestyle needs:

Bedrooms: Regulate morning sunlight to avoid harsh glares on beds or workstations, while maintaining privacy for late risers or nighttime use. Ideal for second-floor bedrooms overlooking streets or neighbor yards.

Kitchens: Reduce moisture buildup from cooking (e.g., steam from boiling water or frying) and eliminate lingering odors (e.g., garlic, fish) through controlled airflow—preventing mold growth on cabinets or walls.

Patios & Sunrooms: Create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces in villas or townhouses with private yards. Shield against light rain or wind while keeping the area bright, making it suitable for morning coffee or evening gatherings.

Bathrooms: Prevent condensation on mirrors and walls with enhanced ventilation, paired with frosted glass options for added privacy.

FAQ

Q: How often should I maintain the aluminum frames?

A: Annual inspection and cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water) are sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners (e.g., steel wool, bleach) as they can scratch the frame’s finish and compromise its corrosion resistance.

Q: Can these louvers withstand heavy rain?

A: Yes, the weather-resistant EPDM seals and sloped glass design (angled at 15° to 20°) channel water away from the louver edges, preventing infiltration. They are tested to withstand rainfall intensities of up to 100mm/h, making them suitable for regions with high rainfall (e.g., Southeast Asia, Pacific Northwest).

Q: Are they customizable in size?

A: Absolutely, we offer tailored dimensions to fit standard (e.g., 900mm×1200mm) and non-standard (e.g., 1500mm×2000mm) window openings. Custom glass options include clear, frosted (acid-etched or sandblasted), or tinted (gray, bronze) to match interior decor.

Q: How long does installation take for a typical bedroom louver?

A: For a standard-sized louver (e.g., 1000mm×1500mm), professional installation takes 1 to 2 hours, including measuring, mounting the frame, and securing the glass panels. No major structural modifications are required for most residential windows.
