I want to provide greenhouse ventilation using a louvre which would replace a full sheet of standard glass.(2'x2' approx) I have seen these but cannot find a supplier. Thosel I see advertised are "half the depth" of a full sheet and many are not glass but polycarbonate. I can have what I want with a new greenhouse but does nobody provide them as an aftermarket add on! I asked the people who make the thermostaic vent openers for louvres and lights but they had no information about louvre manufacturers.

You can buy them but if they will fit is another matter.

You could email somebody like Elite http://www.elite-greenhouses.co.uk/ac01_05.html and ask them if it is possible to purchase just louvres.

Hello Paul
Two Wests do a louvre fitting and you get the glass made up.

There is also a link on this page to the fitting instructions so you can see if it will fit into your greenhouse.
