Key Components of Jalousie Windows
Jalousie windows, known for their adjustable slats and excellent ventilation, are made up of various components that work together to ensure smooth operation and durability.
- Glass or Aluminum Slats: The horizontal slats, typically made of glass or aluminum, provide adjustable airflow and light control.
- Operator Mechanism: A crank handle or lever that opens and closes the slats simultaneously for precise ventilation.
- Linkage Arms: Connect the operator mechanism to the slats, enabling uniform movement across all panels.
- Frames: Durable frames, often made of aluminum or uPVC, support the slats and ensure structural stability.
- Weatherstripping: Seals between slats to prevent drafts, water leakage, and improve energy efficiency.
- Pivot Pins: Allow the slats to tilt and rotate smoothly for effortless operation.
- Locks and Fasteners: Secure the slats in a closed position to enhance safety and prevent unauthorized access.
- Hinges or Clips: Attach the slats to the frame, ensuring they remain firmly in place during operation.
