Etymology

The word 'louver' originates from the Middle French term 'louvre,' which meant 'a type of window or opening.' The original concept dates back to medieval architecture, where it was used to describe openings in roofs to allow smoke from fires to escape while keeping rain out. Over time, the modern use of louvered structures evolved, particularly in response to advances in design and materials. By the 19th century, the term 'louvered' became associated specifically with slatted devices used for ventilation and light control, and it has since found widespread application in architecture, both in residential and commercial buildings, reflecting the continued importance of balancing natural light and airflow in constructed environments.
