Louvre repairs authorized Breezway technicians.
At some point in time you may have to look at repairing or replacing your existing Louvre windows. 1st Reason for louvre repairs:
- Handle Replacement – We can help if your handles look like any of these
If your Louvre handles differ from the pictures above they may be an older model or not Genuine Breezway meaning we have to replace side galleries with new series Altair louvres.
Breezway handles are quite rugged however some issues of why they might fail are:
- Keylock has been activated which deadlocks louvre, if handle is then continually pulled they can break. Always remember to unlock cylinder prior to opening
- Louvres are restricted to 100mm/80mm because they are used in fall prevention or around swimming pool area. People still may try to pull handle down to open glass to 90 degrees. Doing this will eventually lead to handles failing
- Glass sizing in width is too tight. People sometime use the wrong glass in louver bays, have incorrectly sized from the start or have installed louvres with bows in the jambs. You should be able to slide your glass laterally approximately 5mm. If they are too tight they will lead to putting too much pressure on handles.
Please note if louvre handles are to be replaced or repaired glass & galleries must be removed from window to do so.
2nd reason louvre repairs may required is that your old lock is no longer working. Please note old series locks are no longer available so if lock is needed we will need to fit new side gallery as locks cannot be retro-fitted
3rd reason for louvre repairs are you clip holders are broken or falling out. We have not had to deal with this problem with the new Breezway louvres however non Genuine louvres can become quite dangerous & are prone to failure. We always recommend replacing these with Australian made Breezway Louvres.
