The Brilliance of Exterior Louvered Shutters Revealed
The Power of Exterior Louvered Shutters
In the pursuit of energy efficiency and architectural finesse, our exterior louvered shutters emerge as the ideal solution for self-builders and architects in the UK. Discover why choosing our louvres seamlessly unites sustainability with style, transforming your project into an epitome of sophistication and environmental consciousness.
1. Precise Natural Light Control
In the ever-changing weather patterns of the UK, the adaptability of shading solutions becomes paramount. exterior louvered shutters offer optimal natural light control with adjustable slats, allowing occupants to modulate sunlight angles. This not only maximizes natural light levels but also reduces reliance on artificial lighting, fostering a comfortable and energy-efficient environment.
2. Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is at the forefront of architectural considerations. Our exterior louvered shutters significantly contribute to this goal by strategically blocking direct sunlight, reducing solar heat gain during warmer months, and mitigating the need for excessive air conditioning. During colder seasons, angling the louvres permits sunlight penetration, naturally warming spaces and minimizing heating requirements—striking a perfect balance for overall building performance.
3. Effective Solar Heat Gain Reduction
The UK's diverse climate demands adaptable solutions. exterior louvered shutters are designed to combat excessive solar heat gain, preventing overheating during warmer months. By efficiently blocking direct sunlight, these shutters enhance occupant comfort, decrease energy consumption, and ultimately reduce associated costs.
4. Glare Control and Visual Comfort
Say goodbye to persistent glare issues with our exterior louvered shutters . By diffusing sunlight and preventing direct rays from entering spaces, these shutters provide effective glare control. Occupants can effortlessly adjust the louvres to maintain visual comfort, eliminating the need for blinds or curtains and creating an optimal environment for work or relaxation.
5. Architectural Aesthetics and Design Flexibility
Beyond functionality, our exterior louvered shutters elevate architectural aesthetics. With customisable materials, finishes, and colours, these shutters offer design flexibility, seamlessly integrating into your building's style. The dynamic appearance of tiltable louvres adds depth and texture to the exterior, enhancing visual appeal and making a bold statement in architectural design.
6. Privacy and Security
Privacy is an important consideration for both residential and commercial buildings. Exterior louvered shutters provide an effective solution by offering privacy while still allowing natural light to enter the space. The adjustable nature of the louvres enables occupants to control their level of visibility from the outside, ensuring a comfortable and secure environment.
Choose our exterior louvered shutters to unlock the perfect synergy between sustainability and style. Transform your project into a showcase of cutting-edge design, where every louvre contributes to an energy-efficient and visually striking masterpiece.
3. A sustainable option
Aluminium is a naturally-occurring, recyclable and renewable resource - all of which make it the perfect choice for eco-friendly homes. With its many sustainable attributes, it would seem that there's no reason why we shouldn't begin using aluminium in construction projects everywhere; however, what we need to consider above all else is how these buildings are constructed from within. After all, external louvres are more environmentally friendly than internal options such as full-frame blinds or shutters because they prevent daylight from coming in where gaps between the louvres could double up as a path for water vapour to enter.
4. In compliance with Document Overheating of the new building regulations
Document O - the new building regulations that went into effect in June 15th 2022 has been put in place to reduce heat gain in properties across the UK. Whilst internal blinds and shutters offer some measure of relief from exposure to sunlight, they are not considered when determining if requirement O has been met. Thus it becomes crucial for home builders to consider external shading because this increases the amount of windows your permitted per square meter when creating a new property.
5.Made to measure and customisable
Louvres are available in high grade extruded aluminium and Western Red Cedar wood and are made to measure, therefore applicable for any shape and size and are also available in many colours, making them totally customisable to your specific taste.
