Aluminium louvres are similar to shutters or blinds but with horizontal slats that may be adjusted to let in light and air but keep out direct sun or rain. Aluminium louvres provide excellent insulation and added privacy because the slats can be closed to keep out the rain or cold as well as the outdoor noise.
