Etymology

The word 'louvre' originates from the French term 'louvre', which originally meant 'a place where light comes in'. The concept of louvred openings dates back to ancient architecture, where they were used extensively to allow for air circulation while offering protection from harsh weather. The design was further developed in Europe during the Middle Ages, where architects crafted intricate louvres for cathedrals and significant buildings. Over time, the practice of using louvred designs spread globally, becoming a standard element in residential and commercial structures. Its functionality in managing light and air has made louvred designs a popular choice in modern architecture.
