Timber-Framed Louvre Windows
Designed for Airflow, Light & Queensland Living
Timber-framed louvre windows are an elegant, high-performance solution for homes designed around airflow, light and connection to the outdoors. Particularly suited to Queensland conditions, louvres allow fresh air to circulate naturally while maintaining privacy, comfort and architectural clarity.
At Brisbane Timber Doors & Windows, we specialise in integrating premium louvre systems into custom-crafted timber frames, combining technical performance with refined, handcrafted joinery.
Integrated into Custom Timber Frames. Louvre systems can be seamlessly incorporated into solid timber surrounds to suit both contemporary and traditional architecture. This approach allows louvres to sit comfortably alongside other timber windows and doors, creating a cohesive, considered
façade.
Our timber frames are designed and manufactured
to complement:
- Queenslanders and heritage-inspired homes
- Coastal and hinterland residences
- Architect-designed contemporary builds
Each frame is proportioned and detailed to support
the louvre system while showcasing the natural
warmth and precision of timber.
Engineered with Proven Louvre Systems
We primarily specify Breezway® Altair® Louvre systems for their proven performance, reliability and suitability for Australian climates.
These systems are engineered for smooth operation, excellent airflow and tight weather sealing, making them ideal for integration into custom timber joinery.
By pairing a trusted louvre mechanism with BTDW’s handcrafted timber frames, we deliver windows that balance architectural intent, passive design principles and long-term durability.
The architect’s choice for ventilation, built in timber
Performance Without Compromise
Modern louvre systems open close to horizontal, allowing maximum control over ventilation and breeze capture. When closed, blades seal tightly to deliver strong wind and water resistance — supporting indoor comfort without relying on mechanical cooling.
A range of glazing options is available to suit project requirements, including clear, tinted and obscure glass for solar control, privacy and climate performance.
Manual or Automated Operation
Louvres can be specified with manual, chain or fully motorised operation. Automated systems are ideal for high or hard-to-reach locations and can be controlled via wall plates, remote access or smart home integration, allowing precise airflow management throughout the day.
Security, Screens & Compliance Options
Additional options include:
- Insect screens
- Keyed locks
- Fall-prevention and blade-retention systems for upper levels and balconies
These features provide safety and compliance while maintaining uninterrupted views, and architectural intent.
