WPC Rectangular Louver

Bold horizontal lines.

Exterior gradeCE markedWood-plastic compositeLow maintenance

WPC Rectangular Louver is engineered for designers who want bolder rhythm and longer clear spans than a slim batten can give. The flat-faced rectangular profile casts strong, well-defined shadow lines across a façade through the day, reading as a confident horizontal grain on entrances, screens and balustrade infills. Built from wood-plastic composite, it pairs the warmth of timber tones with the dimensional stability and weather resistance of a polymer matrix.

01Overview

WPC Rectangular Louver is engineered for designers who want bolder rhythm and longer clear spans than a slim batten can give. The flat-faced rectangular profile casts strong, well-defined shadow lines across a façade through the day, reading as a confident horizontal grain on entrances, screens and balustrade infills. Built from wood-plastic composite, it pairs the warmth of timber tones with the dimensional stability and weather resistance of a polymer matrix.

Because the section is deeper and wider than a standard square batten, fewer pieces are needed to close a given area, which speeds installation and keeps the supporting framework economical over large elevations. The material is colour-consistent through the profile, resists splitting, warping and insect attack, and needs no painting, staining or sealing once fixed — only occasional washing to keep the surface fresh.

Supplied to representative EN and ASTM performance criteria with CE marking and a documented quality system, the louver is delivered across Europe, North America and beyond as a complete screening solution with fixing guidance, matched accessories and full technical documentation.

03Applications

Façade screening

Wide rectangular sections close large elevations efficiently while delivering strong, architectural shadow lines.

Entrance features

A bold horizontal screen frames lobbies and main doorways with a warm timber-tone finish.

Car-park screens

Durable, low-maintenance louvers provide ventilated visual screening for decks and parking structures.

Balustrade infills

Horizontal louver fields create privacy and rhythm to balconies, terraces and walkway edges.

Boundary and plant screens

Conceals services, bin stores and compounds with a clean, weatherproof finish.

04Features & benefits

Wide spans

The deeper, wider section bridges greater distances so fewer members and less framework are required.

Strong shadow lines

Flat rectangular faces cast bold, defined shadows that shift with the sun for a dynamic elevation.

Weatherproof

The colour-stabilised composite resists moisture, rot, warping and insect attack outdoors.

Low upkeep

No painting, staining or sealing — an occasional wash keeps the surface looking fresh.

Colour-consistent body

Tone runs through the profile, so cut ends and minor marks stay visually discreet.

05Standards & compliance
  • EN 13501-1

    Reaction-to-fire classification of construction products; this louver is typically supplied to Class E, with a B-s1,d0 grade available on request.

  • EN 15534 (1 & 5)

    Wood-plastic composites (WPC) for construction — material characterisation and requirements for profiles and cladding/decking applications.

  • ISO 9001

    Quality management system governing manufacture, inspection and documentation for consistent, traceable supply.

  • CE marking

    Conformity with the applicable European product and construction-product requirements for placing on the EEA market.

  • ASTM D7032

    Performance rating method for WPC products (mechanical and durability classification) for North American specification.

06Installation & handling
  • Fix to a true, ventilated aluminium or steel sub-frame; do not mount directly onto sealed wet substrates.
  • Allow expansion gaps at member ends and abutments to accommodate thermal movement of the composite.
  • Use concealed clips or manufacturer-recommended stainless fixings; pre-drill and avoid over-tightening face fixings.
  • Set consistent gaps between louvers with spacers to keep shadow lines even across the run.
  • Support long spans at recommended centres to prevent deflection and maintain a flat, aligned face.
  • Store flat, bundled and supported off the ground; protect from prolonged point loads before fixing.

08Quality & supply

Popular profiles, lengths and wood tones are typically held in stock for short lead times, while bespoke sections, colours, fire-rated grades and cut-to-size orders are produced to order with indicative lead times confirmed at enquiry; representative samples and finish swatches are available before commitment. Every consignment is supported by full documentation — technical data sheet, reaction-to-fire and WPC performance test reports, CE declaration and a product warranty — and is delivered with appropriate export crating across Europe, North America and beyond, with complete shipping and conformity paperwork.

09Frequently asked

WPC Rectangular Louver
questions.

The deeper rectangular section spans further than a slim batten; exact unsupported spans depend on the profile chosen, so we confirm framework centres and section against your elevation at enquiry.

No. The wood-plastic composite is finished and colour-stable from manufacture; it requires no painting, staining or sealing — only periodic washing.

Profiles are typically supplied to Class E under EN 13501-1, with an upgraded B-s1,d0 grade available where the project specification requires it.

Yes. They are exterior grade with a colour-stabilised polymer matrix that resists moisture, UV, rot and insect attack; stainless fixings are recommended in marine environments.

Yes — lengths can be supplied cut-to-size, and standard tones include walnut, teak, oak, charcoal and grey, with embossed or brushed matt surfaces.

They mount to a ventilated aluminium or steel sub-frame using concealed clips or recommended stainless fixings, with expansion gaps and even spacing for consistent shadow lines.

Yes. We supply across Europe, North America and beyond with full documentation — TDS, test reports, CE declaration and warranty — and appropriate export packaging.
