Privacy & Security using MicroLouvre® is efficient and effective.
MicroLouvre® provides internal privacy whilst maintaining clear outward vision.
Most buildings need privacy and security, but not at the expense of reducing daylight, or shutting occupants off from the outside world. Apartments, offices, houses, care homes, hospitals - all properties need privacy.
Using MicroLouvre® can enhance privacy and security through either a stand-alone screen or encapsulated within glazed partitioning. Either option blocks vision from the outside whilst allowing perfect vision out, together with completely natural and unfiltered daylighting.
Use of MicroLouvre®, before and after
How does MicroLouvre® Koolshade® work?
MicroLouvre® is an architectural screen with 700 paper-thin bronze louvres woven into every metre of fabric.
These micro louvres, angled at 17°, block any intrusion from above regardless of the day, night or backlighting, whilst maintaining perfect outward vision at eye level and downwards. Even looking straight at the privacy screens from just a small distance, the tiny striations successfully disrupt inward vision.
MicroLouvre® can be fitted to building exteriors or used internally as privacy screens in offices, for cashiers, receptionists and even integrated within the glazing. It is the most comprehensive window protection and privacy system, providing more benefits than any other full passive window covering system.

Heat block and solar shading
MicroLouvre® Koolshade® blocks up to 100% solar heat gain and up to 100% solar glare.

Uninterrupted vision out and balanced daylighting
Our Solar shading screens provide unobstructed views and access to natural light, improving the thermal, visual and environmental comfort of a building's occupants, proven to have real psychological and productivity benefits.

Ventilation
MicroLouvre® Koolshade® allows pure, natural daylight in, whilst still allowing you to easily open the windows so that the directional louvres create upward laminar air circulation - proven to combat viruses and stagnant air.

Hurricane proof

60+ years of maintenance free performance is proven by the Indianapolis City County Building, Peckham Police Station and many other installations worldwide.

How it works
How does MicroLouvre® Koolshade® work?
MicroLouvre® Koolshade® invisibly neutralises solar heat gain and glare before they even reach the window. MicroLouvre uniquely works non-stop providing dynamic g-value (heat blocking) performance to continually dissipate the sun’s heat and energy into the atmosphere but not blocking vision out, natural daylight or natural ventilation; solar shading using our products is efficient and effective.
