Blade systems for ventilation and solar control.
Louver blade systems provide natural ventilation while concealing mechanical equipment and giving the facade a rhythmic texture. They come in two types — normal louvers for air flow and acoustic louvers for sound insulation.

Normal Louver
Air flow: Normal louvers are generally used to regulate air flow. This is seen especially on building exterior facades or in ventilation systems.
Material: Normal louvers are generally made of durable materials such as metal or plastic. These materials are a suitable option for easing air flow and blocking elements coming from outside.
Sound insulation: Normal louvers are generally not specifically designed for sound insulation. For this reason, they are not very effective at blocking or reducing sound coming from outside.
Acoustic Louver
Sound insulation: Acoustic louvers are specifically designed for sound insulation. The special materials and structure inside help reduce sound waves coming from outside by absorbing or reflecting them. This is particularly important for noise control in industrial or commercial areas.
Material: Acoustic louvers are generally made of special materials to provide sound insulation. These materials can have sound-absorbing or reflecting properties and are designed to deliver more effective sound insulation.
Application areas: Acoustic louvers are generally used in areas that require noise control. These can be places such as factories, industrial facilities and office buildings. They are designed to meet sound-insulation requirements.
These differences mean acoustic louvers are preferred in environments that require noise control, while normal louvers are used more in ventilation systems or for aesthetic purposes.
