Customise your Altair™ Louvres

With so many customising options our louvre windows can become quite confusing, so let us guide you through the process of choosing your Altair™ Window. Just follow these 5 simple steps.

Step 1 Select your choice of frame

Breezway offers a wide selection of frame colours to choose from, with options to suit varied applications. Ask your Breezway Louvre Preferred Dealer to show you the choices available.

Aluminium Timber uPVC

Aluminium Frames - Timeless in appearance and require virtually no maintenance. Frames can be powder coated in a wide range of colours or simply anodised. Select the right powder for atmospheric conditions of the site to preserve the ongoing appearence of the finish.

Timber Frames - Timber conducts very little heat, making it an energy efficient option. Breezway Louvre Windows can be installed in all of the timber varieties commonly used to build window frames.

uPVC - Also an energy efficient option for framing Altair™ Louvre Windows. uPVC requires almost no upkeep.

Step 2 Select your louvre blade

With Altair™ Louvre Windows you can choose blades that best suit your surroundings.

Inside or outside

Altair™ Louvre Windows can be used internally to create room dividers and improve airflow or can incorporated into external walls or balconies to optimise outdoor views and ventilation.

Choose your blade height

Altair™ Louvre Windows are available with two standard blade heights: 102mm (4”) and 152mm (6”).

Mix & Match

Breezway gives you the option of interchangable blades. For example, in bedrooms and bathrooms, consider having timber blades in the bottom half of the bay with clear glass blades in the top half.

Hot or Cold Climate

Your choice of blades can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your windows. Tinted glass blades or solid timber blades help to reduce solar heat gain which is beneficial in hot climates. In cold and mixed climates clear low e glass blades allow warming sunlight and improve the insulating properties of the glass.
