Aluminium louvres are a key component in modern façade design, providing controlled ventilation while protecting buildings from the elements. Commonly used across commercial, residential and industrial projects, louvre systems help regulate airflow, improve internal comfort and maintain a clean, uniform external appearance.
At Finish Facades, we supply a range of high-performance aluminium louvre systems designed to integrate seamlessly into rainscreen cladding and façade applications. Whether for air intake, exhaust ventilation or screening plant equipment, our solutions are engineered to meet both performance and compliance requirements.
What are Aluminium Louvres?
Aluminium louvres are fixed or adjustable blade systems installed within a building envelope to allow airflow while preventing water ingress, debris and unwanted visibility. They are typically installed in external walls, façades or plant enclosures.
Depending on the design, louvres can support:
- Natural ventilation and airflow management
- Weather protection and water resistance
- Screening of mechanical equipment
- Acoustic attenuation (where required)
As highlighted in the technical brochure, louvre systems are tested for airflow performance, water resistance and durability to ensure suitability across a wide range of building types
When specifying aluminium louvres, performance is critical. Key factors include:
Ventilation performance
Louvre blades are designed to optimise airflow while maintaining low resistance, ensuring effective air intake and exhaust. High-performance blade profiles can significantly improve air movement through the façade.
Water resistance
Louvre systems are tested against simulated rainfall and wind conditions to ensure minimal
water penetration. Classifications are typically based on standards such as EN13030, ensuring suitability for exposed environments .
Durability & security
Solid blade systems offer increased strength, with some configurations providing vandal resistance and enhanced security for ground-level applications.
Acoustic performance
Where required, acoustic louvres can reduce noise transmission while maintaining airflow.
Applications of Aluminium Louvres
Aluminium louvres are used across a wide range of sectors and building types, including:
- Commercial office buildings
- Residential developments
- Plant rooms and rooftop enclosures
- Schools and healthcare facilities
- Industrial buildings
Their versatility allows them to be integrated into both new build and refurbishment projects, with options for recessed, surface-mounted or window installations .
Our Aluminium Louvre Systems
At Finish Facades, we supply a range of aluminium louvre systems designed to support airflow, ventilation and façade integration across commercial and residential projects. Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, these systems are suitable for a variety of applications including plant screening, air intake and exhaust ventilation.
Our range includes:
AVS32 Aluminium Louvre
The AVS32 system is designed to provide effective airflow while maintaining a clean and consistent façade appearance. Suitable for a wide range of ventilation applications, the system offers a balance between airflow performance and weather protection.
AVS50 Aluminium Louvre
The AVS50 system has been developed for projects where high airflow performance is the primary requirement. The deeper blade profile helps maximise ventilation efficiency while maintaining durability, strength and a clean architectural appearance.
AVS50DR Drainable Louvre
The AVS50DR is a drainable ventilation louvre system designed to improve water management in exposed applications. Engineered to provide enhanced protection against rain penetration, it is suitable for projects where weather performance is a key consideration.
Acoustic Louvres Systems
Acoustic louvre systems are designed to reduce noise transmission while still allowing airflow through the building envelope. Ideal for plant rooms, rooftop equipment and mechanically ventilated areas, acoustic louvres help balance ventilation performance with sound attenuation requirements.
All systems are available in a range of sizes, configurations and powder-coated finishes to suit individual project requirements.
Design Flexibility & Finishes
All aluminium louvre systems can be tailored to meet project requirements, including:
- Bespoke sizing (to the millimetre)
- Multiple installation types (recessed, surface mounted, window)
- Wide range of powder-coated finishes
- Integration with façade systems
This flexibility ensures a consistent façade aesthetic while maintaining performance.
