9P=4.05MB JWI Louvres (NSW) is an Australian company who has been manufacturing louvres since 1984, winning an Australian Design Award for energy conserving Louvre Systems. Based in Sydney, JWI services both international and domestic markets, offering a full design and installation service assisting architects and home owners with design feasibilities and manufacturing options to ensure projects meet and or exceed all criteria. JWI prides itself in providing high quality louvre systems that are designed and manufactured in Australia made from Australian components. JWI is an industry leader in louvre production and technology, providing warranty on all of its manufactured systems. Exceptional value High quality product High quality installation service Superior Customer service A forefront of louvre technology All Australian made Warranty and support. JWI louvre systems are designed to enhance energy efficiency by controlling heat, light, sun and ultra violet rays - externally, and can be fixed, operable or retractable. They enable compliance to energy efficiency legislation – BASIX. JWI Louvre Systems can be used for sun control, privacy and ventilation – and are available in Cedar, extruded Aluminum and baked enameled roll formed Aluminum. JWI Louvres are available in a variety of blade profiles and sizes and can be finished in a variety of powder coated or anodized colours. JWI Louvres can be installed as fixed, sliding, bi-fold and or lifting panel configurations and may be controlled by either hand or electric motor drives. Electronic controls can be linked to environmental sensors including building management systems, which enable automatic adjustment of the blades in changing weather conditions. Alternatively the louvres can be programmed to open and close at pre-set times by incorporating a timer device into the motorized set-up. All projects are designed specifically to ensure wind loads and structural requirements meet engineering specifications - managed by our team of highly skilled technicians - from concept to completion. 
The Primary function of exterior window coverings is heat control. External window coverings will prevent excessive solar heat gain and reduce the need for cooling in the summer. It can also reduce, if not eliminate – the high capacity of cooling equipment needed, resulting in a reduction in the initial investment cost. In colder environments, external window coverings will enable the use of solar energy to help heat the building during winter. This is often overlooked when solar control glass is selected for heat control. JWI louvre systems can easily result in reduced energy costs, as well as reduced greenhouse gas emission during the daily operation of a building. As a second outer shell JWI’s louvre systems provide excellent protection for windows from wind and weather.JWI’s louvres are made from special weather resistant materials since they are exposed day by day to sun, weather and other environmental influences. When properly installed in front of the window, our retractable blinds provide weather protection, even in strong winds. To co-inside with the louvres physical properties we offer a range of options to further protect against normal weather conditions; Wind sensors, Rain sensors, Sun sensors and CBUS compatible are just some of the features we can offer. Research proves that exterior window coverings (i.e. louvres / blinds) are seasonally more effective for sun shading, glare protection and day-lighting. JWI 80.R, retractable blinds show the lowest shading coefficients (i.e. they transmit less heat than any other system) and also reduce the need for artificial lighting since they can be used in combination with clear glass and can be fully retracted in overcast weather. Light coloured blades yield better shading coefficients than dark colours. Light colored blades admit less heat to the space between panel and window. The inner glass surface temperature is therefore lower, which results with increased comfort in the room. Overall there is considerable saving in air conditioning, heating and lighting using JWI external retractable louvres. The Shading Coefficient = 0.15 (Shading Coefficient of 1.0 = Solar heat gain through an unglazed open window) Energy conservation has become a major consideration in building design, construction and renovation based on both economic and environmental factors. The challenge to architects and designers is to limit the use of natural recourses without limiting their imagination and talent. The prestigious Australian Design Award has been granted to JWI Louvres NSW Pty Ltd, for developing a virtually maintenance free louvre system for use where protection against solar heat gain or light control is important. This includes vertical and inclined windows, horizontal skylights and greenhouse glass areas of practically any shape and degree of incline in domestic and commercial situations. http://www.jwilouvres.com.au |
