Aluminium Louvre Single Gates

A louvre gate is what you choose when you want privacy but not a wall. The blades sit on a fixed angle rather than flat, so from footpath height the gate blocks the direct line of sight, while air still moves straight through the panel. Standing square-on it looks solid; step to one side and it opens up.

In a single leaf this is most useful on a pedestrian gate that faces the street or a neighbour — a front entry, a courtyard, the gate beside a bin store. You get the screening of a solid gate without a solid gate's weight hanging off two hinges, and without the sail area that makes a solid leaf slam in a gust.

Blade angle sets which direction the privacy works in, and it is decided before manufacture. Angled one way the gate screens from outside looking in while you can see down and out from inside; angled the other way it does the opposite. Tell us what you are trying to screen and from where, and we will orient the blades to suit rather than guessing.

Because louvre panels use more material per square metre than a spaced slat panel, they are heavier for the same opening. On a single leaf that means hinge and post selection matters more, which we size against your dimensions at quoting.
