louver spacings
The refined 1 1/2" spacing of the Townhouse louver is ideal for smaller windows and the time-honored look of the classic brownstone, as well as in more exotic settings.
The 2" Plantation-style louver spacing provides the traditional look of southern living. It is also popular for bathroom windows and closet doors.
The Fairway is our most popular louver style. The generous 3" spacing is ideal for tall and wide and it is a perfect complement for drapery.
The bold 4' spacing of the Oceanview is great for tall windows and in sleek, modern designs. It works well in single and multi- section panels.
The Panorama, with its 5" spacing provides a stunning vista and offers a view ratio of up to 93% for the ulitmate combination of light control and unimpeded view.
The selection of the ideal louver spacing is as much an art as it is a science. In some settings a larger spacing can add focus and definition, while smaller spacings can add visual texture. When combined with drapery, the selection of the ideal louver spacing can provide a visual balance or accent that can chage the look of drapery from overwrought to stunning.
