What Is Aluminum Louvers?
Aluminum louvers are a type of blinds made from aluminum alloy material. Their structure consists of horizontally stacked aluminum alloy slats, and the degree of light transmission can be controlled by adjusting the rotation angle. aluminum louvers come in various colors and specifications, allowing for choices based on architectural styles and requirements. This type of blinds serves as a building material with features such as good shading, heat insulation, and ventilation. It is widely used in balcony, doors, windows, curtain walls, and other decorative and shading systems. During usage, it is important to pay attention to the installation and maintenance of aluminum louvers to avoid issues such as force imbalance and corrosion.Designed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of buildings, aluminum louvers offer a perfect combination of style, durability, and performance.

Aluminum Louver Manufacturing Process
Material Selection
The production of aluminum louvers mainly utilizes high-purity aluminum material, and selecting suitable aluminum material ensures product quality, uniformity, and stability. Commonly used aluminum materials include 6063 aluminum profiles, 5052 aluminum plates, 1060 aluminum plates, and so on. When selecting materials, consideration should be given to customer needs, product specifications, and performance requirements. Material selection and quality inspection should be carried out according to strict standards. Generally, aluminum alloy sheets with a thickness of 1-2mm and a tensile strength of ≥157N/mm² should be chosen.
Cutting
Cutting is performed on the aluminum alloy sheet according to design requirements. Cutting methods include mechanical cutting, flame cutting, plasma cutting, and various other methods. Mechanical cutting is the most commonly used, as it can ensure good dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the sheet.
Stamping
Using a stamping machine to cold-form the aluminum alloy sheet into louvers. The choice of stamping machine depends on factors such as the thickness and material of the aluminum alloy sheet. During the stamping process, attention should be paid to ensuring the flatness and precision of the stamping die, as well as the dimensional and shape accuracy of the louvers.
Bending
Bending of aluminum alloy louvers requires the use of a bending machine. When selecting a bending machine, parameters such as the width, thickness, and bending angle of the louvers should be considered. Bending should be performed according to design requirements, and the bending angle and precision need to be highly ensured.
Welding
Assemble and weld the bent louver strips. When welding, suitable welding methods such as TIG, MIG, etc., should be chosen. Attention should be paid to ensuring the strength of the welds, and no defects should be left at the weld seams.
Surface Treatment
The finished aluminum alloy louvers need to undergo surface treatment, mainly through passivation, oxidation, and spray painting. Surface treatment ensures the surface quality and rust-corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy louvers.
