External blinds and awnings: Internal/External Louvre System, Awning SystemsAstralux Louvre System is a range of non-retractable internal or external louvres, affording protection to all styles of glazed buildings, conservatories, atria and greenhouses, providing superior climatic and environmental control.
The system adds architectural detail to existing buildings, or can create an aesthetic feature in a new development. It is available in various forms, from fixed-position structural louvres for permanent window shading, to internal or external adjustable louvres, which can provide full light-level control. The discreet, precision-engineered mechanism ensures years of trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance. In addition to the control of daylight, the adjustable system acts as a very effective insulator and security system when closed at night.
Astralux awning systems form an extensive range of external solar-control solutions, including folding arm and drop-arm awnings; they are ideal for all commercial applications including shops, restaurants, sports clubs and offices. The highly engineered system ensures a high level of performance combined with long-lasting aesthetic appeal.
