Choosing the Right Louver

Many factors must be considered when choosing an appropriate louver for a given application. Parabolic louvers are the most advanced lighting control products available. The metalized silver specular mirror finish of our louvers offers the most precise light control available. The specularity of our parabolic louvers cannot be matched by conventional aluminum louvers. Every American Louver parabolic louver can be used in any application. However, particular applications lead to recommending one specific louver instead of another. Factors such as room size and shape, light fixture spacing, walls, activity and work in the room, ceiling and sometimes even furniture/equipment all effect the decision as to which parabolic louver is best for your application. Generally, our smaller cell parabolic louvers are the best option in office situations where computer usage dictates maximum glare control. Our larger cell parabolic louvers are ideal in retail, conference room and public area applications where the beauty of the larger cell and maximum light output is desired.
