MicroLouvre

[edit] Façade restoration

MicroLouvre® can rejuvenate and transform tired buildings into modern, energy-saving, weather-protected investments. Our mesh system can help prolong the life of a building for many additional years.

When MicroLouvre® screens are fitted to dated single or double glazing, still commonplace in most building stocks, the overall glazing performance for protection from solar heat gain is superior to even the best current solar glass. MicroLouvre® screens can be made to look just like the original windows but offering so much more.

MicroLouvre® Koolshade® is light, but solid, architectural material made from 700 paper-thin bronze louvres woven into every metre of the unique metal fabric. It can be integrated into your glazing or tensioned into a lightweight aluminiumframe. It can be quickly and easily installed to the whole façade, the window frames, or just the glazing itself.

Applying MicroLouvre® to your facade, either using a stand-alone screen or within the glazing, provides effective protection against excess heat gain and glare whilst still maintaining visibility to the outside world. Its application has been proven to reduce energy demand for cooling by as much as 70% and lighting by over 50%, therefore providing a rapid return on investment.
