A louver is a ventilation product that allows air to pass through it. However, from the louvers, not only the air passes through, also, noise and water enter inside the building.

On the other hand, in Uganda we have the dust issue. The louvers can’t block the dust. For all these reasons. Louvers are dangerous for human health.

Then, the question should be asked ”how can we create natural air ventilation inside the building?”

Before we answer the question, let’s analyze together how the air circulates inside the building.

The air always flows when there is pressure difference. When the air gets hot, it intends to go upward due to being less dense than the surrounding cooler air.

Thus, we should create some holes in the house. So that air can flow. At this point, we recommend our friends to create a chimney. Chimney is one of the best solutions for air circulation.

However, in Uganda, we believe that architects don’t pay attention to chimneys.

Once you create a hole at the roof, you will see the comfort in the house without using the louvers in the windows & doors.
