How To Have A Successful Aluminum Louvers Installation

By Margaret King


The error-free way to successfully install window louvers in your home is to hire an expert to do it for you. Nevertheless, many people decide to do it themselves, mainly, for financial reasons. Most of the times, this is the wrong approach. The price paid can actually rise if you do it yourself in case you do not do it right the first time. Shutters should fit the windows correctly. The best way to make sure the aluminum louvers are properly installed is to have an experienced person doing it for you.

The benefits of louver vents are many. They keep the inner side of the house warm when winter comes. This is due to an additional layer of insulation that comes with them. While the sun can damage your belongings, these new window treatments will help you avoid the damages of UV rays on items such as furniture, etc. On top of that, people will not be able to look at you from the sidewalk when having Louver vents installed in your windows.

Th devices also have static slats that allow wind currents to come inside during summer. Another option is adjustable slats. With them, you can adjust the quantity of cold air arriving at your home. Louver vents should close perfectly and should not spread below the window sill.

The installer should attach the shutter to the siding instead of the window itself. This leaves room for the window to be opened or closed. The expert should also make use of a spacer so no rain will fall into the house. Not having this space means that shadows will not be viewed proportionally.

Choosing a protruding panel that will reflect some shadows on the window is advisable. Many people go with it, especially in the first floor to add more privacy to the setting. A fixed Louver should be chosen for the second floor which is the place where most people want more ventilation. Achieving symmetry and complete alignment is a must. This can be achieved by choosing identical shutters that suit the window in an appropriate manner.

White slats can make the interior brighter at night. On the other hand, dark panels will help keeping the sun rays from penetrating the home and can also reduce unwanted glare. Panels that are not properly installed can make an otherwise beautiful home look cheaper than it actually is. There are alternatives such as combining raised panels at the bottom and vents at the top in order to provide privacy at the same time your rooms get the needed ventilation.

Wind can be a nuisance, especially in regions with prevalent dust. To keep the inside of a house clean, you should fix your slats at a 25 degree angle to avoid dust from entering. By installing a fixed louver, the draughts can be kept at bay. Tilting adjustable ones will also help.

Some modern shutters come with eye catching upraised panels. Given the fact that you will be viewing at them daily, it is advisable that a lovely and functional shutter be installed. The slats should not be the wrong size nor installed in an incorrect manner as this will reduce the aesthetics of the building. If they are bought without taking into consideration both the shape and size of the window, they will simply not fit.
