External Shutters
The Louvretec® range of Coastal Series Shutters is designed to suit any architectural brief.
These Coastal Series can be configured as Sliding panels, Bi-folding panels, Hinged or Fixed panels. All componentry has completed extensive corrosion resistant testing and the componentry is constructed using extruded and die-cast aluminium with 316 marine grade stainless steel fixings and carriers.
SLIDING AND BI-FOLD SHUTTERS
Sliding and Bi-Folding Shutters can be top hung or bottom rolling. Top hung shutters have the advantage of being held captive within an enclosed heavy duty aluminium head track that house stainless steel trucks and uses a minimal bottom guide. Bottom rolling shutters do not require structural fixing at the head with all weight being on the low profile bottom track.
TRANSOM
Adjustable louvres provide no lateral bracing for sliding panels and in most cases for shutters wider than 1500mm a transom is required.
MULLION
As generally smaller louvres [70 to 90mm] are used in sliding shutters a mullion maybe required in panels over 1200 to 1500mm wide.
LOUVRE OPERATION
Louvretec shutters use the KISS Pivot operation with double drive-arms that sit flush against the frame when closed. For added strength Slide Locks are included which are designed to keep louvres in pre-set positions regardless of the wind conditions. Louvres can also be installed to fixed angles and centres as you require.

Anodising
Is a electrochemical process that binds a layer of aluminium oxide to the surface of the aluminium so it becomes ingrained. You can see and feel the texture of the metal, it is also harder than a powder coat finish. Beautiful, deep metallic colours can be achieved with anodising. The process enhances and heightens the natural look of aluminium.
Wood Grains
Heat bonded on to our aluminium louvres this woodgrain finish looks and feels like timber, it is a durable and lower maintenance finish. Because of the aluminium materials used by the Louvretec® product range, our louvres are more durable than timber and not prone to warping, splitting or shrinking in the weather.
Timber frames will absorb light while aluminium louvres reflect it and bounce it around creating a light, airy feel. Wood grain finishes provide a warm classic and timeless look with the assurance of durability.
There are seven wood grain finishes & shades including beautiful, subtle pale timber colours such as light cedar through to reddish, and darker colours such as the popular Black Riverwood.
