Colonial houses, modern houses, and other types are teeming in abundance nowadays.

An individual may have noticed in some of these houses that there are windows which have slanting blades placed on top of each other and can be moved by using a lever. They are called louvers.

Outdoor ceilings most commonly found in the backyard have these items put up. This is where families do their outdoor activities and outdoor parties. Most commonly, the slanted rails are placed at the bottom section of the door.

There are also those individuals who install these items in their attic. However, since the attic is used as a storage room most of the time, the blades and the entire place will be covered with dust if proper care and maintenance is not observed. Since there are also small openings caused by the slanted position by the blades, there are instances that small insects can come inside, such as wasps.

The installation of these things can also be applied to closet doors. This is to prevent the clothes from smelling stuffy due to them being stored inside for a longer length of time. The openings of the louvres will allow for the circulation of air which would result to the clothes still smelling pleasant and ready to use.

Another application for these stuff are automobiles. They are found in the front section of the vehicle. With this, the heat released by the engines can be controlled. These will prevent the vehicles from overheating. There are also a number of buildings using them as flood gateways in cases that they are flooded in rainy weather.

Because of the slanted rails, direct sunlight cannot access the room but enough light will illuminate it. Air can also enter yet it will not make the room very cold. Less noise can also enter whenever a louver is installed inside the house.
