Louver Ceiling is very similar to baffle ceiling. In Louver Ceiling we use a plain strip at the place of the baffle. That strip may be straight or with a light curve. Here we used threaded wire from the main ceiling with the help of a fastener and attach the main channel with a suspension clip. We attach here louver carrier with the help of a carrier clip along with the main channel. That's Louver Carrier holds the Louver strip and gives a dynamic look to the false ceiling.
Advantages:
1. Big scope to create many designs with the help of different color & combination options.
2. High durability.
3. Easy to install.4. Lightweight.
5. Freedom to choose the different sizes of panels in length maximum 6000mm.

Acoustic Properties:
Louver Ceiling has good acoustic properties due to the gap between the louver strips, its district sound waves and never allow to run those parallel, due to that sound not wired, and environment always get peaceful.Insulation Properties:
Louver Ceiling has no insulation property, due to the absence of a plenum. If need insulation can use glass wool at the back of the louver strip, but it is a costly process. So, we recommend not to use Louver Ceiling where have the requirement of insulation.
Design:
The design is the most strong point of use Louver Ceiling. Louver ceiling gives a marvelous look and there are many opportunities to create different and innovative designs on the basis of color combination, louver strip size, louver strip placing, and louver strip alignment.
Best places to install Louver Ceiling:
After keeping in mind all character and quality of the louver Ceiling, you may install a Louver ceiling in the Lobby, Drawing Room, Balcony, Offices, Cafe, Restaurant, Hotels, Pub, Bars, Parking, Railway Platform, Bus Stop, etc.
How to select the size of the Louver Strip?
The standard size of the louver strip is 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm in height. It may be with a notch of size 20mm/25mm/30mm or without a notch in the bottom. We recommend keeping the notch because it helps to reflect light properly, increases acoustic property, and give a good impact on design. As the area is big you must use big height in the louver strip, if the area is small use small height.
How to select the gap between two Louver Strip?
The standard rules for that just keep the gap between two louver strips equal to the height of the louver strip. For example: if the louver strip height 100mm, the gap should be 100mm, if the louver strip height 150mm, the gap should be 150mm, etc...
The concept behind that when a person enters an area, and see the ceiling side, he just looks at a 45degree angle, if our strip and gap side get equal then the main ceiling visibility just gone out and just look false ceiling to him.
How to select the color of the Louver Strip?
As we say always white is the best color for a false ceiling, because it reflects light up to 70%. In the case of the Louver Ceiling, it should be on both sides of the strip front and back. If you like other colors try to match with doors and windows color and contrast with the main ceiling color.

Installation:
Before installation, we have to understand the limitation of louver strip length availabilities. if we go for the white color in the louver ceiling, there is no problem with the length of the louver strip, because we can go maximum to use coil coated.
But if we except white color we have to go with powder coating; in powder coating, we can go up to 5.5mtr in length.
We can do the installation in two ways:-
1. Wall to the wall.:
Wall-to-wall installation simply just starts from one wall to the opposite wall, between those to continue louver strip use jointer.
2. On the alternative Gap:
In this, we leave a small gap like 50mm,100mm from starting wall, install a specific length louver strip after that again same as the start, and continue till opposite wall.
Our suggestion best length size 3mtr for the louver strip and you must go with the second option, it looks all system in air and the impact looks beautiful.
1. Always keep Edge Profile at the same height on all sides.
2.Install carrier at the space of 1.0-1.2 meter, if the area is small put at least 2 carrier lengths in installation.
3.Always use a suspension rod/angel with a suspension clip.
4.Suspension Rod should be installed at a 1-1.2 meter distance.
5.Panels should be fixed in the carrier properly with the soft hand at 90 degrees of the carrier.
6.Always wear gloves at the time of installation.
7. Do properly clean panel before installation, if safety guard film is there peel off before installation and check for any stain or spots.
Estimated Cost:-
G.I. .5mm thickness center to center gap 100mm: $18-$20 per square meter.
Aluminum.5mm thickness center to center 100mm: $22- $25 per square meter.
