Improving Natural Ventilation and Illumination in Your Home

Louvered doors provide some natural ventilation and illumination in rooms, homes and closets while still maintaining security and privacy. With their angled horizontal limits, the views inside become limited while still allowing some of the fresh air to pass through and some natural light to come in.

About natural ventilation and illumination

Natural solutions will help us save money for the years to come because we don’t have to rely continuously on artificial lighting and HVAC systems (especially that energy costs are rising and that heating and cooling systems are responsible for up to 50% of our energy consumption).

With a passive and permanent natural solution, we reduce our energy costs and our reliance on electrical devices. Also, perhaps we can even save money further because we might not have to buy some of the HVAC equipment to cool or heat our homes and rooms.

Another benefit is that indoor air will actually be fresher. That’s because there will be a continuous flow and exchange of air in and out of the home or a room. Stale air will be continuously driven out while fresh air continues to come in. This dynamic will try to reach equilibrium with the outside temperature and humidity levels (likely more favourable than our indoors).

Louvered doors can facilitate that rich airflow (and also allow some natural light to come in and flow through your indoors). It’s a passive and permanent system that can help you save money in the long term. In addition, it can even enhance the aesthetics of your home because of their simple and timeless design. They can further add texture and detail to your home exterior and interior (especially because of the timber colour and grain).
