Fixed blades sit at a permanent angle that blocks sightlines and needs nothing from you afterwards. Rotating blades turn together on a concealed mechanism so you can open, angle or close the side through the day.

Mostly it changes the look. Horizontal gives the calm layered effect most people picture. Vertical draws the eye up and suits a tall bay or a narrow gap between posts. Blade direction does affect which angle the sun and sightlines are blocked from, so tell us which way the panel faces and we will advise.

They are made for Deponti systems and can often be adapted to other verandas, though bay width and panel height vary by model. Send us the details of your structure and we will confirm the right size.

Fixed or closed, the blades block direct sightlines from neighbouring windows and gardens while air still moves through. It is privacy rather than a sealed wall, which is the point of a louvre.

Four textured powder-coated finishes: traffic white, cream, graphite grey and jet black, matched to the frames used right across the Deponti range so the panel reads as original.
