For homes and businesses with large areas of glass, it can be challenging to deal with the movement of the sun through the working day. Retrac Louvres™ (Facades) from Advanced Design Innovations are automated rotatable and retractable vertical louvres that allow occupants to maximise their use of available space while providing a pleasant environment throughout the day.
During the morning, the vertical sun louvres can be fully retracted automatically, allowing occupants to enjoy unobstructed views and abundant natural light. Then in the afternoon, when heat and glare from the sun become an issue, the louvres can be closed and a more comfortable environment can be maintained.
If you want to improve your window shading fixtures with Retrac Louvres™, all you have to do is get in touch with Advanced Design Innovations. As a trusted designer and supplier of commercial grade exterior vertical louvres Australia wide, we can help you get the right solution for your property.

Retrac Louvres™ also make cleaning windows easier. As the retractable vertical louvres can be “stacked” out of the way, full access is available for window cleaning, apart from the small section behind the stacked louvres.
Many buildings use internal blinds or curtains to control heat and glare. However, these solutions only reduce radiant heat load in the building by 20%. By stopping heat before it enters the building, Retrac Louvres™ (Facades) reduce heat load by an impressive 100% (Source: Arup Mechanical Services).
Interior curtains or blinds also make it difficult to use all the available interior space in an office – uncomfortable “hot zones” near the windows mean furniture has to be set back. Retrac Louvres™, on the other hand, allow every square metre of space of a room to be used.
Vertical outdoor louvres can be stopped at any position.
The Retrac Louvre Obstacle Detection System can detect if someone is in the path of the external vertical louvres as they extend. This is especially important for vertical outdoor louvres located in front of sliding windows that lead out to a patio area.
The Retrac Louvre Rotational Obstacle Detection system ensures people cannot be injured if body parts are placed in their path when they are closing.

Retrac Louvres™ Facades are automated, rotatable and retractable vertical louvres designed for installation on building facades — particularly suited to offices, commercial buildings and any property with large glazed areas. They can be fully retracted in the morning to allow unobstructed natural light and views, then automatically adjusted or closed in the afternoon to block heat and glare as the sun moves. Operation is fully automated and can be programmed to respond to sun position, time of day or manual control.
Office buildings with large glass facades face significant challenges with solar heat gain and glare throughout the working day, leading to increased cooling costs and reduced occupant comfort. External vertical louvres intercept solar radiation before it enters the building, dramatically reducing heat gain and improving the internal environment. This results in lower energy consumption, improved occupant productivity and a more comfortable workspace.
Retrac Louvres™ facade systems are constructed from high-grade aluminium, which offers exceptional durability, long-term weather resistance and a low-maintenance finish. Aluminium vertical louvres can be powder coated in a wide range of colours to complement your building’s design — and aluminium’s strength-to-weight ratio makes it the preferred material for large-span commercial facade applications.
Yes. Retrac Louvres™ facade systems can be programmed to respond automatically to solar position, time of day and weather conditions. This means the system can protect the building during peak heat hours without any manual intervention — reducing the burden on building management and ensuring consistent occupant comfort throughout the day.
Yes. While Retrac Louvres™ facade systems are a popular choicCan Retrac™ facade louvres be automated to respond to changing sun conditions?e for commercial office buildings due to their ability to manage solar gain across large glazed facades, they are equally suitable for high-end residential properties with significant glass areas. ADI can design and supply systems for any property type and scale.
By blocking direct solar radiation on the building’s exterior before it penetrates through glazing, external vertical louvres reduce the solar heat gain entering the building. This directly reduces reliance on air conditioning during peak summer periods, lowering energy bills and improving the building’s overall environmental performance and star rating.
Yes. Retrac Louvres™ facade systems can be designed and installed as a retrofit on existing commercial or residential buildings with large glazed areas. ADI’s team will assess your facade, design the most appropriate louvre configuration and manage the installation process with minimal disruption to building occupants.
