Compact Multi-Bay Louvre & Fixed Window | H805 x W1500

The H805 x W1500 compact multi-bay louvre and fixed window is a highly functional architectural unit designed to deliver both expansive natural light and perfectly targeted cross-ventilation. Measuring 805mm in height and stretching 1.5 metres across, this hybrid frame pairs a robust stationary glass panel with a dedicated bank of adjustable louvre blades. It is an exceptional choice for modern Australian homes, providing an elegant solution for kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms, and laundries where you need to draw fresh air inside without sacrificing your outside view or valuable wall space.

The Architectural Logic of the 805x1500 Format

Selecting precisely engineered window dimensions can drastically improve your build quality and interior comfort. The 805mm height is a highly specific and functional measurement in Australian construction. It aligns perfectly with standard brick coursing and integrates seamlessly into half-height feature walls. Your builder can install this frame smoothly without needing to cut bricks or heavily manipulate exterior cladding to fill awkward gaps.

A width of 1500mm hits a structural sweet spot. It fits comfortably within standard timber wall studs and spans nicely across a standard double-bowl kitchen sink or laundry trough layout. Splitting this 1.5-metre span into a multi-bay configuration is a brilliant design decision. If you were to construct a 1.5-metre window entirely out of louvre galleries, the sheer number of horizontal blades could look visually busy in a moderate-sized room. By introducing a split layout, we designate one side as a solid picture window and the other as an operable louvre gallery.

This hybrid approach provides the absolute best of both worlds. The fixed pane remains completely clear of horizontal blades, locking hardware, and exterior mesh, giving you a crystal-clear, uninterrupted sightline to your garden or courtyard. On the opposite side, the louvre bay delivers total climate control. Because louvre blades pivot horizontally on their axis, you can open them to nearly 100 percent capacity. You can tilt the glass slightly to direct a gentle breeze up toward the ceiling, or push them completely open to flush hot, stagnant air out of your house in a matter of seconds.

Room by Room Application Guide

Builders and homeowners consistently specify this compact hybrid frame when they want to draw in maximum light and control the indoor temperature naturally. The 1.5-metre width provides a serious architectural advantage for moderate spaces that endure heavy daily use.

Kitchens and Sculleries Installing this 1.5-metre window directly above your kitchen benchtops creates a fantastic, well-lit food preparation space. You get a clear, unobstructed view of your side yard or patio through the fixed pane while you wash dishes or prep meals. The adjacent louvre bay allows you to instantly vent steam, smoke, and strong cooking odours directly outside, reducing your reliance on loud exhaust canopies. Because you can pitch the blades downward to specific angles, you can maintain continuous airflow even when a light rain is falling outside.

Bathrooms and Ensuites Wet areas fundamentally demand excellent ventilation to prevent condensation, peeling paint, and structural mould. Installing this 805mm high window in your bathroom allows hot shower steam to escape rapidly before it settles on your mirrors. The louvre bay acts as an active extractor, pulling moist air straight outside. When you configure this window with our Satinlite Obscure glass, the textured surface diffuses the light entirely. You guarantee total visual privacy for your family while keeping the bathroom bright, dry, and airy.

Laundries and Utility Rooms Laundries are notoriously damp environments that generate immense heat from tumble dryers and washing machines. This 1.5-metre window fits perfectly above standard laundry cabinetry. It provides the dedicated cross-ventilation required to flush out hot, humid air, promoting a much healthier living environment and stopping condensation from bleeding into the surrounding walls.

Customising Your Glazing and Finish

Even a compact window lets a significant amount of solar energy into your property. The glass you choose plays a major role in your daily thermal comfort and ongoing energy bills. We build your windows to order so you get the exact performance your specific location requires.

Standard Clear glass is a highly cost-effective choice for well-shaded boundary walls or southern elevations where direct sunlight is limited. If this window faces the brutal western afternoon sun, standard glass will trap the heat and quickly turn your small utility room into an oven. We strongly recommend upgrading to Low-E glass or a Grey Tint for these highly exposed locations. Low-E glass features a microscopic, transparent metallic coating that actively reflects radiant heat back outside. It stops your rooms from overheating during summer heatwaves and actively retains your interior heating during the cold winter months.

We protect all our aluminium frames with a tough, baked-on powder coated finish that resists chalking, fading, and coastal saltwater corrosion. Pearl White remains a classic choice for traditional brick builds because it actively reflects heat away from the frame. Custom Black delivers a bold, striking border that highlights contemporary architecture and industrial designs perfectly. Our Custom Colour service is available if you need to match existing window frames precisely during a major home extension.

Internal Security and External Screening

Because louvre windows pivot outward slightly, all protective screens must be mounted to the exterior face of the frame. Our window profiles are specially extruded with deep, integrated external tracks to hold these screens securely. The screens sit far enough away from the glass to allow the blades to open to their maximum capacity without scraping or touching the metal mesh.

The primary aesthetic advantage of this multi-bay layout is that you only need to screen the single louvre ventilation zone. Your adjacent fixed picture window stays completely free of mesh, providing an ultra-clear view. A standard Flyscreen keeps mosquitoes and flies away during warm summer nights. If you want genuine peace of mind, upgrade to our Stainless Steel Security Screens. This heavy-duty woven mesh resists knife attacks, impact, and forced entry attempts. It allows you to leave your louvre blades pitched wide open on a hot night to cool the house while keeping your property totally secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do louvre windows let water in when it rains? Not when they are closed properly. The individual glass blades are designed to overlap one another slightly when shut tight. This engineered overlapping design, combined with tight gallery clip compression and thick integrated perimeter weather strips, creates a solid barrier that effectively blocks out high winds and heavy driving rain.

Can I clean the outside glass from inside the house? Yes. This is a massive hidden benefit of specifying louvre windows for your home. Because the glass blades pivot horizontally, you can easily reach through the gaps and wipe down both the inside and the outside of each individual blade from the comfort of your room. You do not need to drag a ladder outside or hire a window cleaner to wash the exterior glass.

What is the standard manufacturing lead time? We build this architectural unit entirely to order based on your chosen frame colour, glass type, and screen selections. Our standard manufacturing lead time is typically 12 to 15 working days from the date of your order. Our team will keep you informed throughout the build process and arrange a specific delivery date once the unit passes our final, strict quality control checks.
