Why louvres?

Altair™ Louvre windows offer a number of advantages over other window types.

• With no fixed panes and blades that open almost horizontally, they are twice as open as a regular window to maximise ventilation.
• They can be left open in gentle rain.
• The amount of airflow through the window can be precisely controlled.
• Breezes entering the window can be directed upwards towards the ceiling.
• When open, they do not project far beyond the surrounding wall so do not impeded paths of travel.
• Altair™ Louvre Windows can be cleaned from the inside of the building (a big advantage in multi-floor buildings).
