Louvered Door

A door featuring angled slats (louvers) that permit airflow and ventilation while maintaining visual privacy. Louvered doors are essential for mechanical rooms, closets, and spaces requiring air circulation without full visual access.

Louver configurations include full-louvered (top to bottom), half-louvered (upper or lower section only), and combination with vision panels. Slat angles typically range from 35 degrees to 45 degrees, balancing airflow with sight blocking. Fixed louvers are stationary; operable louvers adjust for variable airflow control.

Commercial louvered doors are constructed from steel, aluminum, or wood with 18 or 16 gauge metal slats for durability. Fusible link louvers close automatically during fire events. Storm-resistant designs with rain-draining profiles suit exterior applications. Standard free area (airflow capacity) ranges from 30% to 50% of door area. Related: access panel, fire door.
