Louvre Shutters – What are your options?

Posted on July 15, 2019July 15, 2019 by Huss Wali

 When starting a search for aesthetic improvements to the outside of your home, the pricing and size of the projects can quickly get overwhelming. A great place to start is with outdoor shutters such as louvre shutters. While this option can be cheaper than other renovations, it ends up making a huge impact. We will help you navigate the different types of louvre shutters like fixed panel louvres, hinged louvres, sliding louvres, and stacking louvres so you can figure out what might be best for your outdoor needs. 

What Are Louvre Shutters and What Are the Benefits? 

Louvre shutters can consist of horizontal or vertical slats that are often tilted to let in ambient light while keeping out direct intense sunlight and rain. These shutters can be made from many different materials, including wood, metal, glass, or aluminium. Some louvre shutters can be adjusted easily, allowing for more privacy, full sunlight blocking, or rain protection. Types of louvre shutters include fixed panel louvres, bi-fold louvres, hinged louvres, sliding louvres, and stacking louvres. All of these types provide different functionality. 

The most obvious benefit of installing louvre shutters is the increase your property value. Because of their striking aesthetic benefits they can turn an ordinary outdoor space into something unique and eye-catching. They are easier than many outdoor solutions to keep maintained, which is a big bonus when considering monetary value. Good louvre shutters are also made to last a long time and some are made from extremely long-lasting material like aluminium. 

Louvre shutters allow for additional privacy, which means that you can easily lounge in an outdoor area without feeling like your neighbours are snooping. Different types of louvres will slide and fold to help you make an area private when you feel it is necessary. 

Since louvres can help enclose a space, it also means they can provide weather protection. High-quality louvre shutters will help block out wind and rain, which means that you can enjoy an enclosed outdoor space even if it is drizzling out. This also means that you can worry less about the furniture you keep outdoors. A good material choice, if you live in a rainy area, would be aluminium louvre shutters, which often provide better weather shielding. louvre shutters for outdoor areas

 

Types of Louvre Shutters 

There are many different kinds of louvre shutters that you can pick from for your specific needs and aesthetic preferences. When making a choice, it is important to think of what is functionally important to you as well as what will look best for your location.

  • Fixed Panel Louvres – These are easy to install and use, it pivots inside of the framework due to the C channels being permanently fixed to the top and bottoms of the application.
  • Bi-Fold Louvres –  Allows the ability of clearing the opening completely by folding the panels and pushing them to one side.
  • Hinged Louvres – The benefit of these was that they swing both in and out, and also have the ability to be supplied with an L/Z frame.
  • Sliding Louvres – These panels can slide both left and right across tracks that run on the top and bottom of the sliding louvres. This means they are great for privacy and sun shielding.
  • Stacking Louvres – While similar to the sliding louvres, they have an additional H section at the end of the tracks, which allows for the complete opening and storing of the panels.
