Controlling the sun
When the heat is on, louvre systems from John Waters Industries can put you back in control
Many houses are now built with plenty of windows for optimum light and views, but this can also mean too much sun, too much heat, and little privacy.
Louvre systems from John Waters Industries (JWI) control heat, light, sun and ultraviolet rays externally, and can also be a way to increase privacy.
JWI managing director Susan Carter says they are designed to enhance energy efficiency.
"The louvres provide a 98% block of ultraviolet rays, so they can reduce energy costs. Some buildings have installed our louvres instead of air conditioning."
Louvre systems are designed to project-specific requirements, and panels can be aluminium or cedar, fixed, sliding or bifold. They can be installed on window facades, balconies and glass roofs.
Electronic controls, linked to environmental sensors, mean the blades adjust automatically depending on weather conditions. It is also possible to have the louvres open and close at preset times of the day.
Aluminium colours can be matched to your house, as colours are chosen from the Dulux powdercoat range.
