The Juralco Louvrelite Solar Control System represents an alternative solution for property owners with areas that require light moderation and shading. The system is typically used as a passive design feature on large windows in living areas to create a balance between natural light and minimising harsh direct sunlight and accompanying heat.

Creating a balance of natural light and temperature can be a challenge, especially with larger windows, but the Juralco Louvrelite Solar Control System provides a window louvre solution that can be adjusted to meet environmental needs. The adjustable angles and custom spacing of the aluminium elliptical shade louvres on the contemporary frame highlight the versatility of the system which can be custom-made in multiple configurations.

Adjustable angles on the system can be optimised by installers utilising Juralco's technical sun charts which include NZ-specific seasonal sun positions to determine the optimum angle for the Louvrelite louvres in relation to the solar aspect a window is facing for ultimate light levels. This will optimise sunlight and improve thermal management to create a more energy-efficient building. In summer there will be a reduction in solar heat together with protection from the harsh sun. In the winter, as the sun sits lower in the sky, more sunlight is admitted to the interior, thereby creating a location that is less reliant on energy-consuming temperature controls, all year round.

Manufactured in durable, hard-wearing and low-maintenance aluminium. The system is powder coated using the Dulux range of colours. Depending on the chosen finish, the system is protected under warranty for many years or even decades.

The Juralco team believe this will become a popular product chosen for its multiple benefits which include reduced maintenance requirements, privacy, assistance with wind and rain shelter, the addition of depth to the design of a building and easy assembly. Reducing energy demand means lower costs. Decreasing a property’s lighting, heating or cooling demands can be as simple as adding this solution over north-facing windows, to harness the sun’s warmth and light efficiently.
