The technical characteristics of Window Grilles.

Window Louver (also known as Window Louvre, Blind or Jalousie) made of ABS Plastic.

The Window Shade is crafted from ABS plastic, a popular material in the automotive industry. ABS is widely used to create durable and lightweight car accessories such as bumpers, spoilers, and etc. Known for its strength and resilience, ABS plastic ensures long-lasting performance.

We offer two types of product surface finishes:

Smooth Surface : (Black, undyed plastic): This surface can be used as is or painted in any color of your choice. It provides a clean, minimalistic look. There is an example of what plastic looks like in the product photo gallery.

Orange Peel Texture: This surface mimics the texture of an orange peel, similar to the finish found on various automotive interior parts. It has a slightly rough, textured feel that is particularly favored in vintage-style vehicles but is also a popular choice for modern designs.

Different Methods to Install Louver to a Window:

Double-Sided Adhesive Tape:

First, thoroughly clean the window and louver surfaces. Apply the double-sided tape around the entire perimeter of the grill. Peel off the protective layer from the tape and, aligning the center, press the louver onto the window (it’s best to do this with two people).

Metal Adhesive Plates with Screws and Nuts:

Drill holes in the window louver, attach the metal plates to the louver using washers and screws (don’t tighten too much). Remove the protective layer from the plates and, aligning the center, attach the louver to the window. You can also use sponge tape to fill the remaining perimeter. Pros: Convenient for occasional removal of the louver for window maintenance.

Velcro Tape:

The installation process is the same as with double-sided tape. The key difference is that with Velcro, you can easily remove and reattach the louver to the window. Cons: Velcro may wear out over time and lose its strong adhesion.

Windshield Glue: 

It is also essential to thoroughly degrease the surfaces. Apply glue around the perimeter  and center the louver on the window. It is best to do this with two people. Immediately wipe off any excess glue from the edges. For degreasing use a thinner or other materials intended for that purpose. 

Window louver Design solutions, Styles, and Philosophy.

This product is designed and manufactured using the rear window of a Opel Manta 400 Hatchback.

 The window grille is precisely shaped to replicate the contours and dimensions of the rear window's edges.

The edges of the louver align perfectly with the rubber trim of the window, providing a neat and completed finish. This rear window detail highlights and emphasizes the vehicle's lines.

The design of the louver is created to complement the unique lines and character of each vehicle.

As a result, the appearance of classic car louvers differs significantly from modern ones. This Manta 2 louver is designed to complement the sporty and classic lines of the vehicle's rear end. 

Visibility

Although from certain angles it may seem like the louver covers a large portion of the window and impairs visibility, this is not the case.

Since the louvers run horizontally along the wing, they only block vertical sunlight rays, without affecting overall visibility. Of course, you can see that the new detail is on the car window, but it does not obstruct your view through the rearview mirror.
