What are duct shaft louvers used for?

Duct shaft louvers are engineered aluminium screening used to hide vertical services ducts, AHU openings, plumbing shafts, electrical risers and MEP openings on building exteriors — while allowing 70–80% free airflow to the equipment behind. WoodenMax uses 50x50x1.5mm 6063-T6 louvers with powder-coat or PVDF finish.

How is an aluminium louver canopy different from a duct shaft louver?

A louver canopy is a cantilever or floating sunshade over an entry gate, terrace door or balcony facade. A duct shaft louver is a vertical screening wall fixed on a shaft opening. Both use the same 50x50 aluminium louver system but differ in framing: canopy uses brackets and flat-span framework, duct shaft uses a welded peripheral frame with SS fixings.
