Designing with Breezway Louvres
Light, air, space
Louvre Windows have been around for a long time. You may remember them as the old rusty, leaky louvres from yesteryear. But today, Breezway offers a new generation, high performance louvre window designed specifically for New Zealand’s weather and climate.
Architects CplusC used predominantly raw, low embodied energy materials throughout this stunning residential home and incorporated Breezway Louvres for their natural ventilation benefits. View project.
Breezway Louvre Windows offer a number of advantages over other window types.
With no fixed panes and blades that open almost horizontally in an aluminium window or timber frame, Breezway Louvre Windows open twice as wide as regular windows to maximise ventilation and allow precise control of airflow into your building.
- Breezes can be captured no matter which direction the wind is blowing.
- Louvres can be left open in gentle rain.
- Louvres do not project far beyond the surrounding wall so do not impede paths of travel.
- Ideal for internal windows to further cool and refresh the building.
- Louvres can be cleaned from the inside of the building (a big advantage in multi-floor buildings).
