Hi

I noticed the current trend is moving away from louvre windows. Wonder if anybody still prefer louvre windows and why? Saw this http://www.breezway.com.au/ and feel that it's kinda cool! What's your opinion?


Thanks

This one like the olden days 8 leafs windows. For non guarded house is not practical. I was looking at this too, but above my budget and not safe for my housing area.

Another type i like "grill" is the kopi shop type. Now is also in trend, but the thickness is so thin.

Yeah, I like most is the airflow into the house. This one, I guess you need to instal security bar or grill for more protection.

skng03, got leaking problem meh? That I am not aware of because I'm not doing the cleaning last time blush.gif But now hmm.gif

Was having the louvered windows for my back rooms previously.
If using air con, they do not provide a good seal.

As for security, could always install grilles.
Even for those casement and sliding windows, would need grilles anyway.

Yeah, cleaning part is a challenge now. Sliding windows are easy to clean but I don't like it when one part of the window is blocking airflow (I am not a fans of aircond, so natural ventilation is important for me.)

I visited them at Archidex but no promo pun sad.gif

Everything looks nice without grills. But security purpose, no choice. Not only have to clean windows, grills also have to clean. rclxub.gif

not good to prevent dust coming into the house... also u will need an awning for that as during heavy rain, water may seep inside...

every window co. can do demo and guaranty leak free, but in reality most of them failed the leak test when they carry out on site with <water jet> tongue.gif
