Method 1

Build as you go

XPL-side-frame-1-exploded.png
  • Assemble on-site with pre-powder coated material - quick and easy!

  • No welding, riveting or screwing off slats required

  • No need for U channel or F section - Side frames affix directly to wall or post

  • Patented side frames overcome out of square wall/posts: Friction fitting of slats into side frame allows slats to laterally adjust if needed

  • Side frame suits 65mm x 16.5mm or 90mm x 16.5mm slats

  • Variable slat spacing: Spacers for 5mm, 9mm or 20mm are available or easily achieve unique spacing by cutting to size from 100mm spacer blocks

  • For privacy/nil spacing, simply stack slats on top of each other

Method 2

Pre-assemble panels

Eco friendly

Pronto Louvres are made from aluminium - the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon). There are no ongoing painting issues with powder coated aluminium louvres.

 
Fire-icon.png
 

Fire retardant

Aluminium is described as non-combustible. When aluminium is exposed to a prolonged fire environment it will begin to melt (not burn) with a melting point between 600 and 660 degrees celsius. Aluminium louvres are an excellent choice where fire risk requires consideration.

Weather & insect proof

Aluminium is impervious to insects and termites plus the non-porous surface is naturally resistant to fungi, mould and mildew. It is also unaffected by exposure to sunlight and water making it ideal for louvre/screening solutions.

 
 
Light-weight-icon.png
 

Light weight

Aluminium weighs approximately one third of a piece of steel that is the same size and shape. Pronto Louvres are made by extruding aluminium which allows for optimisation of shape to maximise strength and reduce weight.

 
Colour-stability-icon.png
 

Colour stability

Powder coating aluminium provides outstanding long term colour fastness and stability - this means powder coated louvres are ideal for the Australian climate.

Rust proof

Aluminium does not rust. With a powder coated or imaged finish, Pronto Louvres may be enjoyed for the long term with minimal maintenance and no worry of corrosion.
