Fixed and Motorised External Louvres
Control solar gain, ventilation and privacy with coordinated external louvre systems.
Vertical and horizontal louvre systems designed to support Part O overheating strategies and integrate with façade and structural packages across education, residential, commercial and healthcare projects.
Solar Control, Ventilation & Orientation Strategy
External louvres manage solar gain at the façade while allowing controlled ventilation and daylight penetration.
Blade spacing, angle and configuration are developed in response to building orientation and thermal strategy, supporting glare reduction and Part O overheating mitigation where required.
Systems can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on façade exposure, privacy requirements and architectural rhythm.
Motorised options allow seasonal or BMS-controlled adjustment where dynamic performance is required.
Façade Coordination & Installation
External louvres form part of the building envelope and require coordination with structural supports, cladding interfaces and wind exposure conditions.
We work alongside façade consultants and structural engineers to align fixing strategies and sequencing before installation.
Our accredited site teams manage access planning and installation across education, residential and mixed-use developments, maintaining safety, documentation and programme control.
Finishes are available in standard and bespoke PPC coatings to integrate cleanly with façade materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question about external louvres? Here are answers to common queries from architects and contractors.
System Design & Applications
External louvre systems are configured to suit orientation, ventilation requirements and façade strategy rather than selected from fixed templates.
Design considerations typically include:
- Coordination with glazing and cladding systems
- Wind exposure and fixing strategy
- Motorisation and BMS integration
- Blade spacing and projection
We support early-stage discussions where overheating mitigation, ventilation performance and façade detailing need to be aligned.
