How to Submit Drawings for an Aluminum Louver System

t492-36

To submit drawings for an aluminum louver system, send your elevation or detail drawing with dimensions, the louver type and orientation, and the opening or installation location. We review the drawing, confirm measurements on site if needed, and return a written specification for your approval before production starts.

What to include in your drawing package

A complete submission makes the first review faster and reduces back-and-forth. Include the elevation showing the louver location within the facade, with overall opening dimensions clearly marked.

Elevation and section drawings at a readable scale
Louver type, blade profile, and orientation (fixed or adjustable)
Mounting method and the substrate it fixes into
Finish requirement, such as powder coating or anodized aluminum

If the drawing is from a larger architectural set, a cropped sheet with the relevant detail is usually enough.

File formats we accept

Send PDF for review and DWG or DXF when you have CAD files, since these allow us to work directly from your geometry. Photos of a hand sketch are acceptable for early discussion, but dimensions should be written on the drawing. Label each file with the project name and the sheet or detail number so it can be matched to your schedule.

If you work in a different system, tell us in advance and we will confirm what we can open.

How measurements are confirmed

Drawing dimensions are a starting point, but openings in existing buildings often differ slightly from the plan. Where the louver is set into a built opening, we arrange an on-site measurement and compare it with your drawing. Any difference is noted in writing so you can decide whether to adjust the design or the opening.

For new construction, confirm with your structural or civil engineer when the opening sizes and fixing points are final.

Written specification and approval

After review, we send a written specification that repeats the key data: overall size, blade profile, frame section, finish, fixing method, and any site notes. This document is what we produce against, so please check it carefully. Approval by email or signed copy confirms that the design and dimensions are agreed.

Changes after approval may affect timing and should be raised as early as possible.

Production and finishing

Once approved, the louver is cut, assembled, and finished in our factory. Aluminum parts can be powder coated in your chosen color, and steel components in the same system can be hot-dip galvanized before finishing. We check dimensions and blade alignment before the units leave the workshop, so the installed result matches the approved drawing.

Installation coordination

Share the installation sequence with us, especially if the louvers are fixed before or after masonry, insulation, or glazing. Early coordination prevents gaps and rework. We can advise on fixing details and clearances, and we recommend that the final connection to the building be checked by your engineer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to send a full architectural set?

No. A single elevation with the louver detail and dimensions is usually sufficient for a first review. Additional sheets can be sent if the fixing or structure needs checking.

Can you work from a sketch?

A sketch can start the discussion, but final production is based on a dimensioned drawing and a written specification you approve.

Will you measure the opening on site?

For existing openings we recommend an on-site measurement, which we can arrange to compare against your drawing before fabrication.

What happens after I approve the specification?

The louvers go into production in our Tel Aviv factory, are finished to the agreed coating, and are prepared for installation according to the approved details.

Common mistakes to avoid

Sending a drawing without dimensions or without confirming the actual opening size on site often leads to delays. Changing the blade profile or orientation after approval also affects the finished unit.

Our recommendation

Mark the fixing and substrate details on the drawing and confirm the opening with the contractor before the specification is signed. Clear data at the start saves time for everyone.

Summary

Send a dimensioned drawing with the louver type, orientation, and fixing details, confirm the opening on site, and approve the written specification before production begins.
