Ideas on how

Altair® Louvre Windows can enhance your home

Maximum Ventilation

Fully open, louvre blades are close to horizontal. This means they provide very little resistance to the air entering through the window opening. In effect, you get twice as much ventilation as you would through a same sized sliding window or double hung window.

The benefits of Altair® Louvre Windows over other window types don’t end with ventilation. When open, they don’t get in the way of passing traffic. They can be left open in gentle rain. And the inside and the outside surfaces can be cleaned from inside the building (handy in multi-story buildings.)

Breezeway
Free air in every room of your home

Southern Asia is renowned for its moderately hot and humid tropical weather. And often this means, a hot uncomfortable house to live or work in if it does not have sufficient ventilation.

To make sure you stay comfortably cool inside your home at any time of day, Breezway Louvres are the answer!

Altair® Louvre Windows in a Slimline Window System allow you to open up the home in a stylish and elegant manner to embrace fresh, cooling breezes that flow into the room. This not only creates an open, light and airy living space, but also naturally lowers the temperature of the room without the need for expensive electric air conditioners.

This is what we mean by free air. And you can have it in every room of your home.

Tip: Use timber or aluminium blades to block out hot direct sunlight.

Internal Louvres

To really effectively cool a room, you need to let cool, fresh air in and also let warm, stale air out. This can be tricky if a room has only a single outside wall.

Altair® Louvre Windows can be an ideal solution. They offer maximum ventilation for their size. And they are flexible enough to fit any space available, be it tall or short, narrow or wide.

Timber, aluminium or frosted glass blades give privacy and the tight sealing of Altair® Louvres means that conversations can remain private.

Now the blank wall above bedroom doors, in the corner of the room, or down low behind a desk can be transformed into a clever cooling breeze-way. 

Let’s look at the bedroom

What every bedroom needs is a breath of fresh air. And the best way to get lots of fresh air inside is with Breezway Louver Windows.

Concerned about wind and rain? The patented ‘living hinge’ design of Breezway Louver Windows ensures that, when fully closed, they seal tight to provide superior wind and water performance.

Importantly, Breezway Louver Windows can be easily screened, so you and your family can sleep tight at night.

Tip: For those with limited space for a window (eg. in a small bedroom) Breezway Louver Windows provide good ventilation through a much smaller window opening.

Lounging about

Altair® Louvre Windows in the lounge room ought to be compulsory.

Okay, we’re a little biased about that. But think about it. Is there a better, cheaper or more stylish way to have complete control of the air flowing through your living area?

We think not. And most leading architects and designers agree.
Worried about mosquitoes or other flying insects? Insect screens are available.

Choosey about colours? Breezway gives you more matching frame, handle and clip options than anyone else.

Nosey neighbors? The choice of timber and aluminium blades means you can have your fresh air and your privacy, too.

Have a good look at the enormous bank of louvres in the main photo and tell me you wouldn’t want a living area like that in your home.

Create extra living space

Are you looking for an innovative way to enclose an outdoor area to make it more functional, regardless of the time of year?

Breezway Louver Windows can be used to create extra living space and extend your outdoor time. Designed for tough outdoor conditions, Breezway Louvers open fully to allow fresh air in, yet seal tight to ensure protection from the elements.

Create your own enclosed space that is positioned to capture trade winds and use glass louver blades to shield you from rain while enjoying scenic views. Alternatively, you can use Breezway Louvers with wood or aluminum blades to create a privacy screen or to shield the sun while still obtaining fresh air.

Tip: Breezway Louvers are also a great option for stairways, closets, adjacent to landings, at corridor ends, in bathrooms, in garages and up high in loft areas to vent and replenish the air you breathe.

Steam free

Steam is good for locomotives, but not so good in your bathroom. Install exhaust fans if you wish, but really, the best option is to include louvres in all your wet areas to let in fresh air and light.

Clever architects and designers are now putting Altair® Louvre Windows (with timber or aluminium blades for privacy) behind towel rails to fast forward the drying process.

We make little louvres for installation near vanity mirrors to stop them fogging up.

Our louvres in laundries also make sense, if only because they help stop the mould growing.

By the way, when it’s blowing a gale outside,
it’s good to know that Altair® Louvre Windows are the most wind and rain resistant product of its kind anywhere in the world.

This is due to our patented ‘living hinge’ mechanism which ensures an extremely firm fit between the louvre clips and channels to resist water and air leakage.

Louvres in the kitchen

If you can’t stand the heat get some louvers in the kitchen

It goes without saying that a set or two of Breezway Louver Windows are a wise inclusion for every kitchen. They’ll get rid of the smells and help dissipate the heat of your oven or stove.

The stylish handles on our louvers can be positioned to the left, to the right, up high, or down low. This makes louvers easy to open in hard to reach places.

As you know, hot air rises. So if you have a high ceiling in your kitchen, you might consider putting some Powerlouver Windows up high to help keep the air cool.

Breezeway
The Breezway Powerlouver™ Window

Personal jet packs, holidays on the moon, windows that automatically open to cool your home, then close up in conjunction with other household equipment when you leave the house. The first two are still a way in the future, but Breezway Powerlouver Windows are available now!

The Powerlouvre System, a very clever and clean looking concept

Powerlouver Windows can even be wired into smart automation systems to allow control along with other automated building products and automatic operation in response to various sensors and inputs.

Live somewhere really cold, or super-hot? No need to worry, they’ve been tested to perform in temperatures from 32degrees right up to 140degrees and can even handle 90% humidity

Best of all, the motors are concealed within the framing system, so there are no ugly external motors, bars or connecting rods.

Altair® Louvre Window Selection Guide

This section will help you choose the right combination of Breezway Louver Windows for any
residential or commercial application. Just follow these 7 simple steps.

1

Select your choice of frame

When selecting your frame think about the design, colours, maintenance level and energy requirements of your home. There are available in a range of colours to choose from, with options to suit varied applications. Ask your Breezway Preferred Dealer to show you the choices available.
Aluminium

Aluminium frames are low maintenance and can be powder coated in a variety of colours or simply anodised.

Timber

Timber frames create a warm feeling when used throughout your home. Timber conducts very little heat, making it an energy efficient option. Altair® Louvre Windows can be installed in all of the timber varieties commonly used to build window frames.

Mesh Screens

Insect and security mesh screens can be fitted to the outside of Breezway Easyscreen® Window Systems or other compatible systems. Please specify your requirements during frame selection.

Consider the design of your
Altair® Louvre Windows

Breezway offer a range of sizes and shapes to provide greater flexibility within the home. Altair® Louvres can also be used within internal walls as room dividers to improve cross ventilation and building comfort through better airflow.

To frame a view and gain good airflow.

With Altair® Louvre Windows you can choose blades that suit your surroundings. For a plantation or contemporary beach house look try timber blades. Glass blades let the outside in and aluminium blades add a sharp modernity to your home, are easy to maintain, and come in many colours.

Inside or outside?

Coordinating timber blades with timber frames is a particularly attractive look for indoor use. On balconies and patios our louvres can be used to create privacy. If you have a view or a breeze to catch consider making a whole feature wall with Altair® Louvre Windows.

Thick or thin?

Altair® Louvre Windows are available with two standard blade heights: 102mm (4”) and 152mm (6”).

Hot or Cold Climate?

Your choice of blades can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your windows. Tinted glass blades or solid timber blades help to reduce solar heat gain which is beneficial in hot climates. In cold and mixed climates clear low e glass blades allow warming sunlight and improve the insulating properties of the glass.

Timber

Timber blades let the breeze in and create privacy at the same time while reducing the amount of heat passing through the window. All timbers can be stained to blend in with your home. 

Breezeway
Glass

Obscure, etched, grey, green, bronze, toughened for extra strength and safety, with a clear low e coating for enhanced energy efficiency, or good old sparkling clear glass! As long as it’s 6mm thick, almost every type of glass can be incorporated in an Altair® Louvre Window. 

Breezeway
Aluminium

Aluminium blades are virtually maintenance free, can’t rust and never need painting. Architects and designers love using them to create a very stylish visual screen. Our aluminium blades are offered in a variety of powder coated colour finishes.
