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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Motorised Airfoil and Midi Sun Louvres are driven by Louvretec’s award winning Spiral Pivot system. The Spiral Pivot system is hidden away out of sight and linked to a custom made gear box. Powered by a Somfy tubular motor. The Spiral Pivot system is also used for hand operable louvre panels. Free standing Motorised or Hand Operable panels use the Super Elam Street Structural Frame System with a sub frame. The sub frame keeps all of the drive mechnaisms hidden.
The Maxi Sun Louvre range is driven by the Maxi-Drive Pivot system. Maxi-Drive has been designed to power larger louvres. A Somfy motor is located within a structural frame driving a heavy duty custom engineered gear box. The gear box operates the drive blade which via a heavy duty connecting arm operates the louvre panel.
Louvretec has two easy to use hand operable systems (in addition to hand operable Spiral pivot systems). These are the KISS Pivot system and the Bella Vista Pivot system.
