MicroLouvre® is an Efficient and Effective Way to Manage Glare and Light Trespass.

MicroLouvre® creates directional light diffusion, source concealment and glare control.

MicroLouvre® is the world’s thinnest and lightest metal louvre fabric. There are up to 700 paper-thin miniature bronze louvres woven into every metre of fabric. The tiny louvres are usually given a standard protective black polyester coating for a durable finish, absorbing and eliminating re-reflected heat, light and glare. They can be any colour, as well as having a matt or highly reflective finish to suit. The standard louvre angles are 17° and 0°. Angles between 17° and 0° can be produced on application.

MicroLouvre® metal fabric is directional which can be used for various lighting purposes, including in: trading floors, museum or exhibition displays, shading traffic lights, and buildings and bridges around the globe. In addition, it is corrosive-resistant so suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

MicroLouvre® is so thin and easy to manipulate, it can easily be integrated or retrofitted into any lighting unit.

Light Spill and Light Trespass Solutions

MicroLouvre® can redirect light onto objects or buildings and concentrate the light source to the intended direction, solving the problem of unwanted light trespass and reducing light spill and glare. With its 80% open area, MicroLouvre® permits optimum light transfer, ensuring high energy efficiency, which is key to any lighting strategy. MicroLouvre® can provide either a symmetrical or asymmetrical light 'kick'.

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. Our unique material is the perfect solar shading device, it can be installed easily, has excellent environmental credientials and offers a cost effective solution to solar gain.
