LOUVERS-GRILLES

Louvers are not seen typically in modern architecture for any other reason than simply put, a technical device used to allow air movement while keeping out snow and rain. In Coastal architecture and design they are used as a feature that has a common function which is to cool an area in hot climates and block direct sunlight. We also see a high demand for using them as privacy panels in entertaining or living areas. There is always a desirable look achieved by using louvers vertically between columns on a home’s porch, lanai, veranda, pergola, porte cache, or outdoor entertaining structure.
