How long do louver walls last?
Properly engineered aluminum louver walls typically last 20-30 mga taon, depending on material grade, protective coatings, installation precision, and maintenance. At Xtra Metal Group, we extend longevity through:
Do louvers protect from rain?
Yes, properly designed louvers provide effective rain protection while maintaining ventilation. Key factors include blade angle (typically ≥30°), overlap design, and aerodynamic profiles to deflect water. At Xtra Metal Group, our aluminum louvers integrate precision-engineered drainage channels and anti-capillary gaps, tested to withstand wind-driven rain per ASTM E283 standards. Customization ensures optimal performance for local […]
What is the disadvantage of louvers panel?
While louvers panels excel in ventilation and aesthetic flexibility, they have limitations: At Xtra Metal Group, we mitigate these issues through customized solutions: Leveraging 30+ years in complex architectural projects, we tailor louvers to site-specific climates, functions, and design intent—ensuring performance without compromising longevity or aesthetics.
What is an exterior louver wall?
An exterior louver wall is a facade system composed of angled or horizontal slats (typically aluminum) designed to regulate sunlight, airflow, and visual privacy while enhancing architectural aesthetics. These louvers balance functionality, such as solar shading, weather protection, and energy efficiency, with design flexibility. At XtraMetal Group, we engineer precision-crafted aluminum louvers using durable, corrosion-resistant […]
What are vertical louvers called?
Vertical louvers are technically termed “vertical louver blades” or “vertical fins” when designed as standalone architectural elements. In engineering specifications, they may also be classified under “aluminum vertical sunshade systems” due to their primary function in solar shading and airflow management. At XtraMetal Group, we engineer these components using precision-formed aluminum alloy extrusions tailored to […]
How to Choose Exterior Louver Wall: A Comprehensive Guide
Have you ever struggled to find building materials that balance function, durability, and style? Louvered walls and exterior louvered wall panels might be the solution you need. These structures use angled slats to let air and light flow through while keeping out rain and unwanted views. They’re perfect for improving building performance and adding a modern look.
