Benefits Of Installing Architectural Louvers In Your House

By Stephanie Wagner


A very traditional way which is currently used in experiencing the modern resurgence is on the rise. This has been attributed by the factor that louvers are suitable for both the classic as well as the contemporary homes due their water proof nature, operation is easier and also due to the fact that they have been built by using good quality materials when compared to traditional Architectural Louvers.

When looking for a louver it is important to look for a free space. A free space is usually arrived at by simply taking the sum of open louver area and diving this sum with by the total opening of the wall. This is usually used to give a contrast of the louvered opening to the free opening.

Most companies usually produce the louvers in four categories which include drainable adjustable, drainable stationary, non-drainable stationary as well as some other types which are known as miscellaneous category. These products also come in different colors, shapes, frames depths, styles as well as different angles of blades.

These are basically energy efficient type of glasses which significantly helps in reducing heat escape and entry into a given home and in turn reducing the much need of having to install artificial cooling and heating appliances. This will definitely save you significant amount of money on energy bills.

Once these items have been constructed by taking keen consideration on high performance, they effectively satisfy all the requirements of the HVAC systems without necessarily requiring flashing, field cuts or even fasteners which have been exposed. Each type of a louver is specifically built to basically guide a very specific airflow while at the same time ensuring that a very solid defense against rough weather is maintained.

In the traditional type of louvers the water penetration testing is done by simply taking the air intake via the Louvre while at the same applying the content of measured water in the airstream. The velocity of airflow via the Louvre free area is amplified up to the point when this Louvre permits entry of water. The results attained in the first test usually indicates the first point of penetration of water.

Another important factor to keenly consider is those types of louvers which are driven by wind. With these types, the test is usually conducted just in the similar manner as the traditional ones but with these wind is applied simultaneously to the Louvres face. This wind is usually applied at a constant rate while the intake of air velocity is usually augmented from the zero fpm up to a value which is predetermined.

The blades of these products usually have a very pleasing and a fascinating architectural accent. The categories of these products usually provide a wide range of design which makes them to be applicable in numerous designs of buildings. Louvers are always viewed as the buildings protective line as well as the building first line of suitability. Due to these benefits majority of individuals have been able to significantly reduce their energy bills by simply installing these products in their buildings.
