Architectural Sun Control & Exterior Shading. 

We have a wide selection of Sun Louvres, including Airfoil and Rectangular shapes. Each option helps you control sunlight, privacy, and airflow to fit your home or building.

Our aluminium sun louvres and facade systems are built for New Zealand’s climate, even in coastal areas. You can pick motorised, hand-operated, or fixed louvres for steady sun control.

Motorised, Hand Operable or Fixed Louvres

We design Sun Louvres to fit the way you use your space.

  • Motorised louvres let you adjust the blades easily and stop them anywhere, giving you fine control over glare, breeze, and privacy.
  • Hand-operated louvres are easy to adjust and don’t need power. They work well in homes and small commercial spaces.
  • Fixed louvres stay at the angle you choose. They are great as architectural fins, privacy screens, or permanent sun shades on a building’s facade.

Why Choose Aluminium Exterior Louvres?

Why Choose Aluminium Exterior Louvres?

Aluminium louvres are a smart choice for building in New Zealand.

  • They are durable in tough conditions. Aluminium handles coastal air and changing weather, and you can choose finishes like powder coating or anodising to match your project.
  • They need little upkeep. Aluminium resists corrosion and keeps looking good with just simple cleaning.
  • They offer a flexible design. You can use aluminium louvres as shutters, fins, or adjustable sun screens, and you can choose the blade size, spacing, and colour to suit your site.
