Here are a few shots of the louver installation. One of the challenges related to building this house has been sourcing off-the-shelf hardware for the operable features of the house. The louver pivot hardware was no exception. Fortunately, the hardware we selected works flawlessly. After recessing a bracket in the floor & ceiling and a pivot on the top & bottom of the louver framework, the pivot is simply set in to the lower bracket and tilted in to place. While in the open position, a screw is turned in the upper bracket which extends the top pivot pin to engage the top of the louver. Once the hardware was in place, installing each lover took less than 2 minutes apiece. Each panel has a kick-stop so that it can fixed in any position. Now that the louvers are installed, we've adjusted them to block the evening sun and it has made our working environment much cooler. Isn't it great when a plan comes together?

Almost there...

Fits like a glove.
