About Us

They don’t make louvers like they use to!

Louver Windows have been around for a very long time. You may remember them as old rusty, leaky jalousies. Today, Breezway has developed a new generation of Louver Windows using the latest technology to ensure a high-quality product that will last a lifetime.

Architects HPC incorporated Powerlouver Windows into a smart Building Management System to assist with energy savings in Breezway’s sustainable head office building. View project.

Breezway History

Breezway is proud to be part of a rich history of manufacturing louver windows that dates back nearly a century. The early success with the first louver patent filed by A E Appleton & Sons in the 1930s was a testament to the quality and popularity of our products. Over the years, the company has undergone several name changes due to mergers and sales, but our focus on louver windows has remained constant. Today, Breezway continues to innovate and produce high-quality louver windows for customers around the world. The company’s long history and commitment to excellence make it a trusted and respected name in the industry.
