Jalousie & Pivot Windows

Jalousie & Pivot Windows

Description
Description

Jalousie windows, also known as louvered windows, consist of horizontally mounted slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of airflow into a building. The slats can be opened or closed using a crank or lever, and the angle of the slats can also be adjusted to allow for more or less direct sunlight. While jalousie windows can provide good ventilation, they can be less energy-efficient than other types of windows because they allow air to escape even when closed.

In contrast, pivot windows rotate on a central axis and can be opened from either end. They are popular in modern architecture for their minimalist look and flexibility in opening options. Pivot windows can also provide good ventilation and energy efficiency if designed properly. While jalousie and pivot windows offer different benefits and drawbacks, both can be suitable options depending on the specific needs and preferences of the user.

History
History

The jalousie window has a history dating back to the 18th century. Originally used in hot climates, such as the Mediterranean and Caribbean, they were designed to provide ventilation while still maintaining privacy and security. Jalousie windows gained popularity in the United States in the mid-20th century, particularly in warm coastal regions. While their popularity has since declined, they are still commonly used in tropical and subtropical areas, as well as in certain architectural styles, such as mid-century modern.

Future
Future

Jalousie windows, known for their unique slatted design, are getting a modern facelift. Today's iterations feature sturdier materials, combating wear and ensuring longevity. Advanced mechanisms allow smoother operation, while enhanced sealing reduces energy loss. With a renewed interest in retro designs, they're making comebacks in chic urban homes and tropical abodes alike. As homeowners seek a blend of style and functionality, jalousie windows promise controlled ventilation, a nostalgic charm, and a connection to the outdoors.

Common Questions
Common Questions
Are jalousie windows airtight?

Jalousie windows are generally not airtight, as they consist of individual slats that allow air to flow through even when closed. This can result in a loss of energy efficiency and increased heating or cooling costs. However, modern jalousie windows can be designed with improved sealing materials and methods, such as overlapping slats and weatherstripping, to reduce air leakage.

Are jalousie windows secure?

Jalousie windows may not be as secure as other types of windows due to their design. The individual slats can be easily removed or broken, providing an entry point for intruders. Additionally, the crank or lever used to open and close the window can be vulnerable to forced entry. However, there are security measures that can be taken to improve the safety of jalousie windows, such as installing reinforced glass and locking mechanisms. Ultimately, the level of security provided by jalousie windows depends on the specific design and installation.

Which climates are best for jalousie windows?

Jalousie windows are best suited for warm, humid climates where ventilation is a priority. Jalousie windows are commonly used in tropical and subtropical regions, such as the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa, where the climate is consistently warm and humid. However, they may not be as suitable for colder climates or areas with high wind speeds, as they can allow for air infiltration and energy loss.

A double panel jalousie window with wide slats is a window design that consists of two horizontal panels, each with adjustable wide slats. The slats can be made of various materials such as glass, wood, or metal and are operated using a crank or lever. When the crank is turned, both panels can be opened or closed simultaneously, providing greater flexibility in controlling ventilation and sunlight.

The wide slats allow for maximum airflow but may compromise the window's energy efficiency due to increased air leakage. This design is commonly used in warm and humid climates, where good ventilation is essential. However, it may not be suitable for colder climates due to the potential for increased energy loss.

The Jalousie Window (2 Panels, Wide Slats) is available in a range of sizes with widths between 4’8”-8’ (142-244 cm), heights ranging from 2’4”-6’4” (71- 193 cm), and an overall frame depth of 5” (12.7 cm).

A triple panel jalousie window with thin slats and a center picture window is a window design that consists of three horizontal panels with adjustable slats and a fixed center picture window. The slats are typically made of glass, wood, or metal and can be operated using a crank or lever. When the crank is turned, all three panels can be opened or closed simultaneously, while the center picture window remains fixed.

This design allows for maximum flexibility in controlling the amount of ventilation and sunlight that enters a room. However, the gaps between the slats may compromise the energy efficiency of the window. The fixed center picture window provides additional light and visibility while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the window.

A double panel jalousie window consists of two horizontal panels with adjustable slats that control the amount of ventilation and sunlight that enters a room. The slats can be made of glass, wood, or metal and are connected to an actuator that can be operated by a crank or lever. When the crank is turned, both panels can be opened or closed simultaneously, providing greater flexibility in controlling the amount of ventilation and sunlight.

Double panel jalousie windows are commonly used in warm and humid climates, but may not be as energy-efficient as other types of windows due to the gaps between the slats, which can allow for air infiltration and energy loss.
