Louvre windows trend - eco friendly?
Comments (5)Yes, louvres do 'leak' more than some other window types but they also allow for much more effective ventilation as they are around 95% open when versus an awning window which can be as low as 25% open. The big question is where are you? Tasmania or the NT? Generally the solution is to use them sparingly but your designer will be able to advise on how many and where to place them....See Morewhat window covering can I use with glass louvres?
Comments (5)Hi Robin, Window treatment with louver's Blinds or full length curtains may be installed in conjunction with your louvre windows to help darken interior spaces or provide shading from the sun in any room if required. This also provides for privacy, light, thermal insulation etc. inside your property. When selecting your louver's, remember that the top blade can be fixed to assist with the installation of the blind or curtain above the window. Low profile handles should also be selected as the shape provides a proper fit that won’t get in the way of the curtains when opening or closing them, especially when in the open position. In an internal room, choose a high mounted track with a wave curtain running across the whole width of the window. Also place the curtain rod as high above the window frame to really frame the entire window and cover the louver blinds when closed. This also makes the space appear much larger than what it is and allows the eye to roam to the top of the curtain, making the space also appear to have a higher ceiling than it has currently especially with vertical stripe curtains. (See pic below) Hope this assist you Robin, all the best.

Comments (3)louvre window coverings (plantation shutters?) should be able to be custom made to fit your windows but decide if you want them inside or out and contact the nearest window covering specialist..anything is possible (centre opening hinged, bi-fold, sliding or?) it just depends on how much you want to spend and you won't know until you arrange a quote but they may be able to suggest some other options worth considering ..and while you wait for the big reno simple venetians may be an economical alternative...See MoreFlyscreens over louvre windows
Comments (2)Yes it would look odd to install them later as the flyscreen frame will be a different colour. Best to have them included in the window design when you order the window for a much neater result. https://www.trendwindows.com.au/quantum/quantum-lourve-window/ Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreSusan C
