LouvreKit has built in gutters for drainage, the fins within the frame sit on an angle from high side to low side allowing for water drainage into the built-in gutter. The external frame does sit level.
Yes, LouvreKit can keep the rain out! The LouvreKit fins close tight together to form a watertight finish, they are fitted in the louvre with a slight fall to encourage rain run-off. LouvreKit comes with its own inbuilt gutter system and a dropper is supplied for you to fit at time of installation. You can then join this up with your existing downpipe.
While the LouvreKit system is basically waterproof please remember it is an outside product, so in severe/driving rain there can be water ingress via the gutters.
Our DIY LouvreKit comes prepacked with the four legs as this is the engineered installation solution offered. This makes for the simplest installation option for all home DIY’ers. If you have additional trade skills it is possible to fix to an existing structure.
Most likely you won’t as LouvreKit louvres don’t exceed 20sqm. The louvre still needs to comply with your local council planning regulations such as site coverage, recession planes, etc.
We are not able to custom-make a LouvreKit. To keep the price as low as possible we manufacture our LouvreKits in three set sizes - 3 x 3m, 3 x 4m and 3 x 5m. If you want a custom-made louvre we suggest you chat to our mates over at Johnson and Couzins who will be able to help.
The LouvreKit fins rotate round approximately 130 degrees.
The LouvreKit option is only available in the manual opening. If you are wanting a motorised system you would be best to see our mates over at Johnson and Couzins who specialise in custom-made louvres.
