Typical supply includes profiles, brackets, powder coat, cutting, packing and installation labour. MS sub-frame, scaffolding or difficult access may be quoted separately after site visit.
Blade size, gap and finish are locked on the signed drawing. Wooden texture, matt black and plain colours use UV-stable polyester or PVDF systems.
Free measurement in Hyderabad, Delhi NCR & Jaipur for projects above minimum area. Other cities — video survey or architect drawing accepted.
Fixed louvers cover 90% of Indian residential and commercial facades — lower cost, zero motor failure risk, and predictable maintenance. Ideal when blade angle is decided once on drawing.
Motorized systems make sense for adjustable sun control on corporate HQs, premium villas and west-facing curtain walls where owners want seasonal angle changes. See motorized price page.
WoodenMax fabricates architectural aluminium louvers in-house from 6063-T6 profiles, powder-coats in controlled booths, and installs with dedicated facade crews. We have executed residential villas, commercial towers and hospitality facades across Hyderabad, Delhi NCR and Jaipur — with documented case studies and factory QC you can verify before placing an order.
Every batch is cut to drawing, hole-punched for bracket fixing, and coated after aluminium pretreatment. Gap between blades, blade angle and bracket spacing are locked on the approved BOQ so site teams do not improvise.
Rates on this page are indicative bands for budget planning. Final quote after free site measurement includes profile size, finish, area, access difficulty and sub-frame requirement — shared as a locked PDF BOQ.
