FAQs
1. What are louver panels used for in architecture?
Louver panels regulate airflow, provide shading, support mechanical ventilation, and enhance privacy. They are used in façades, service areas, basements, roofs, and HVAC screening.
2. What installation problems are most common?
Common issues include misalignment, inadequate bracketing, poor integration with surrounding materials, water leakage, vibration, and difficulty accessing systems for maintenance.
3. How can builders ensure the durability of louvers?
Durability improves when correct materials, corrosion-resistant fixings, proper drainage design, and fire-safe framing systems are used. Regular site inspections, mock-ups, and airflow simulations further enhance performance.
4. Are commercial louver panel systems different from residential ones?
Yes. Commercial louver systems typically require higher wind resistance, fire-safe integrations, acoustic solutions, and maintenance access. Residential louvers prioritise aesthetics, privacy, and basic ventilation.
