Louvers are used in a patio roof to provide ventilation, protection from the elements, and adjust shade and sunlight penetration. These louvers have been used in doors and windows for hundreds of years, offering a simple way to control airflow, moisture, and sunlight.
Think of louvered doors in commercial settings that help ventilate areas when closed while still providing security and privacy. When installed in windows, the slats can be manually angled to allow a cool breeze to enter a room or keep rain from coming inside. At Outdoor Elements, we use the finest materials for our patio roof louvers– including extruded aluminum, for functionality and durability.
Convenience and Comfort
Louvers come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, and the average louver spans 30 to 60 percent of the wall opening for maximum ventilation. Depending on the structure, the louvers may be fixed– as in a closet door– or adjustable for windows and blinds.
Louvers, thanks to their simplicity of design and versatility, have become a common architectural feature for both patio roofs and backyard pergolas. They allow cross ventilation, shade from the sun’s scorching rays, and protection from inclement weather.
Easy Integration with Existing Architecture
Louvers for the patio give you more ways to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year. They can be opened using the pergola’s convenient controls to let the sun in or close as a storm approaches. They can be mounted to an existing home or commercial space and painted any number of colors for a seamless appearance.
At Outdoor Elements, our louvers are protected with a premium powder coating. They will last for years, with zero worry about rust or pest control as you would with other materials. An adjustable louvered roof lets you reposition the louvers for the desired amount of ventilation or weather protection. This is a huge advantage over solid roofs or canvas sails.
Aesthetic Appeal
. For those who love to dine and entertain outdoors, a louvered roof offers a clean, sophisticated look compared to fabric awnings or PVC patio covers.
You can choose different finishes and colors to blend with the surrounding environment and add fans, heating elements, privacy screens, and other fixtures for a truly customized look. There are various design customizations you can add to your louvered roof structure that help integrate the design aesthetic of your surrounding architecture. Design enhancements such as open cantilevers, corbels, post wraps, or top wraps, can unify your space with its surrounding environment.
