Living in Australia which is mostly a warm client louvre windows are a must. Below we will cover the pros and cons of a louvre window and why a louvre window is actually great for your bathroom and why you should have them in your next bathroom renovation if this one key point is what you are going for.

TO START – What is a louvre window?

A louvre window is a window constructed with either, metal, vinyl, wood or the most common glass in the central section of the window with holes on either side resembling a Venetian blind. It is often operated as a crank motion or a level pull set-up.

Just check out the image below its always a better example than my writing.

PROS OF LOURVE WINDOWS

• Easier Cleaning especially if placed on second-story rooms
• Everyone says they are energy efficient with efficient glass options helping minimise heat entry during summer and prevent the escape of heat in winter, reducing the need for artificial cooling and heating
• AMAZING ventilation is the biggest pro of louvre windows
• Can be awesome for natural light with louvre windows are ideal for controlling the entry of light into a room. Conversely, there are energy-efficient, frosted or coloured glass louvre windows to minimise and control the entry of light.

CONS OF LOURVE WINDOWS

• Not great in winter as they can allow cold air to travel through the room so for bathrooms are not always ideal.
• KEEP IT TIGHT if you are worried about insects you want them to be tight as can be but always the risk.
• Can allow noise to come through depending on how it is manufactured
• The more moving parts the more maintenance is required but that is like all new items to keep in mind.
