Do louvres require planning permission in Australia?

It depends on your local council and the type of installation. Smaller residential applications often don’t require permits, but larger structures or heritage properties may need approval. Always check with your local authority.

Do louvre roofs require building permits?

In many cases, replacing an existing patio roof does not require a permit. However, new builds or larger louvre structures often do. Requirements vary by council and state, so it's best to confirm locally.

Are louvre systems suitable for commercial projects?

Yes. Louvre systems are commonly used in commercial projects for shading, screening and airflow. They also assist with compliance on energy efficiency and façade performance in larger developments.

Can you customise louvre systems for Australian residential projects?

Yes. Aurae designs fully customised louvre systems to suit a wide range of Australian homes. Each system is tailored to your plans, finishes and project requirements.

How do I maintain aluminium louvres in Australian conditions?

Clean your louvres with a soft cloth and mild detergent every few months. In coastal or dusty areas, more frequent rinsing helps prevent salt and debris buildup. Moving parts should be checked and lubricated annually.

Aluminium Louvres Australia

Louvres (or louvers) allow architects to achieve shade control, weather protection, privacy, aesthetics and ventilation in façade design. Architectural louvre systems provide a functional and visually striking way to enhance outdoor areas across Australia, with every Aurae profile tested in accordance with Australian Standards.

Aurae’s fixed and operable designs are created with versatility in mind. Fixed louvre blades suit areas that need consistent airflow or screening. Operable systems allow for greater flexibility, letting you control light and shade throughout the day. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, our louvre solutions are tailored for both residential and commercial applications. Each installation is built to suit modern architectural styles and withstand Australia’s varied climate, from harsh sun and tropical humidity to coastal salt spray.

Fixed Louvres

Fixed louvre blades provide lasting shade, privacy and a strong visual feature for any Australian property. With several blade profiles and brackets to choose from, the options are extensive. Fit them as window eyebrows, pergola roofs or full façade screens while still allowing airflow.

Blade sizes range from 75 mm through to 1000 mm and can be installed either vertically or horizontally depending on your design. The powder-coated aluminium finish offers low-maintenance durability, ideal for Australian conditions.

Operable Louvres

Operable louvres offer responsive control over light, airflow and privacy across a range of residential and commercial settings. Choose from three blade profiles including Aurora, Solaris or Caldera that rotate smoothly to suit your preferred angle. Choose from manual controls or a fully motorised setup to adjust with ease as conditions change throughout the day.

Slimline framing and concealed fixings provide a clean finish that complements contemporary projects. Whether used for pergolas, privacy screens or façades, operable louvres combine function with visual appeal.

Spanning up to 4.5 metres per panel, each system can include rain sensors, LED lighting and motorised or manual operation. Louvre roofs help you enjoy outdoor spaces all year round.

Clean lines and neatly integrated fixings create a refined finish whether over a pergola, courtyard or alfresco area, delivering function without compromising on style.
