A louvre for a louvre assembly comprises a profile having a plurality of optionally useable pivot mounting positions each of which is selectively adapted to be utilized to mount the louvre in an assembly of adjacent louvres. Anyone of the remaining pivot mounting positions is selectively adapted to be utilized to control the pivotable orientation of the louvre in the assembly. Each louvre comprises an up-turned lip at one edge thereof and an down-turned lip at the other edge thereof. These lips serve to prevent ingress of water to the area below the assembly which forms an openable roof structure. An alternative louvre comprises a pair of like formed, elongate, resilient surface profile sections, each having disposed at opposed lateral edges thereof mutual interengagement means, which upon flexure of the respective sections during assembly results in interengagement of the sections. A prefabricated core having tapered or otherwise lateral edges is located between the surface profile sections.
A louvre for a louvre assembly, comprising:
A louvre assembly comprising a plurality of louvres, each louvre having a pair of ends and a pair of laterally opposed edges extending from one of said ends to the other of said ends, one of said ends including a plurality of optionally useable pivot mounting holes, one of which is situated centrally of the end, one of the pivot mounting holes being used to mount the louvre in the assembly and another of which is controlled to effect the pivotal orientation of the louvre so as to allow light to pass through the assembly, each louvre further comprising an up-turned lip at one edge of the louvre and a down-turned lip at the other edge of the louvre, wherein at each end of each louvre there is provided a wheel mounted to rotate at a selected one of said pivot mounting holes, the assembly further comprising a transverse track at each end of the respective louvres upon which said respective wheels roll, and
A louvre comprising a pair of elongate, surface sections, each having disposed at opposed lateral edges thereof means for mutual interengagement of the sections upon flexure of the respective sections during assembly, said surface sections being sufficiently resilient so as to enable said flexure, wherein said means for mutual interengagement comprise at one edge of each respective section a tongue, and at the other edge an extension having a backturned lip into which the tongue of the other section is receivable;
