Why Louver Windows?

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

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