Operable Horizontal Louvres

Smart Sun Control Solutions for Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Operable horizontal louvres are frequently used to manage solar gain, privacy, and ventilation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Locarno’s horizontal louvre systems allow architects to introduce responsive shading without fixed visual obstruction.
They can be used overhead, across openings, or as part of sliding shutter systems, creating flexible envelopes that adapt to daily and seasonal conditions.

Scalable and Consistent
The RL130 is the most commonly specified profile for operable horizontal louvres, offering a balance of subtlety and performance. For larger architectural applications or projects prioritising visual consistency across Locarno systems, the RL200 profile offers a deliberate and coherent solution.
Motorised operation is available within the RL200 series, supporting automated shading.

Integrated Architectural Language
Horizontal louvres can be detailed to enclose outdoor rooms, shade windows, or define transitional spaces, maintaining a consistent material and visual language across the project.

Key Considerations
• Solar and glare control
• Indoor and outdoor applications
• Manual or motorised options
• Integration with sliding shutters
