Louvre Windows Gaining Popularity in Perth

Creator of custom built windows and doors in Perth reveals why louvre windows are becoming more popular among homeowners.
Perth, WA, 09 June 2017 - While there are many styles of windows and doors that are more popular, louvre windows are becoming more and more popular among homeowners in the Perth area. According to Michaela Ashford, Office Administrator for Fremantle Door and Window, louvre windows are popular for numerous reasons:
 
Louvre windows may be one of the most versatile types of windows we have. They can be used as exhaust vents. They can be used above larger windows to ventilate a room. They can be used as a standard kitchen window or even on a door. Thanks to better designs and better materials, louvre windows are becoming a better option for many different situations.”
 
Increased Energy Efficiency

Louvre windows can be used to increase energy efficiency in many different ways. They can be used to replace exhaust fans in kitchens and in bathrooms. They can also be placed near the ceiling above doors and windows as the main ventilators for living rooms, family rooms and other common areas.
 
Because they enable so much air flow, louvre windows often allow homeowners to turn off their air conditioning altogether and let air flow from outside cool their homes.
 
Most Adjustable Air Flow

Because louvre windows are adjusted by widening or narrowing the spaces between their slats, homeowners can easily control the amount of air flowing through their homes. This allows homeowners to control their internal environment with ease and efficiency.
 
Natural Light

Louvre windows can also be adjusted to allow varying amounts of natural light, from a clear louvre window letting in a cascade of light to a frosted or coloured louvre window letting in a much smaller amount of light. Because of the design with the slats, even a fully opened louvre window blocks some light if the slats are frosted or coloured.
 
More Privacy

Louvre windows can allow full airflow through your home total privacy. this is because louvre windows for ventilation purposes can be installed above larger windows in most homes. This allows plenty of ventilation even there is a curtain or a shade drawn over the window below. The louvre windows are in a position so high that it is impossible for passers-by to see through the louvre window.
 
Easiest Windows to Clean

Louvre windows are by far the easiest windows to clean, because they can be cleaned one slat at a time from the inside. This is especially relevant for those who have second and third storeys on their homes because it allows homeowners to clean their windows without climbing ladders.
 
The Final Word on Louvre Windows

Ms Ashford concludes: “Louvre windows were forgotten for a brief period of time as window and home design evolved. But lately, homeowners have begun to appreciate them for their versatility, their ventilation and their aesthetics. We are glad they stuck around.”
