Introduction: A Game-Changer for Modern Architecture
As India’s cities expand and glass-heavy façades dominate skylines, architects and builders face a growing challenge: how to maintain design elegance while mitigating heat, glare, and rising energy costs. Enter Alubreeze, India’s first indigenously manufactured roller-coated metal louver system, developed by Aludecor, the country’s leader in architectural metal solutions.
Launched on the brand’s 23rd Foundation Day, Alubreeze isn’t just a product, it’s a performance-driven design solution. It addresses key pain points like thermal discomfort, escalating HVAC loads, and acoustic challenges, while empowering architects to create façades that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Why Alubreeze Matters Now
India’s buildings account for one-third of the nation’s electricity consumption, with cooling systems alone consuming nearly 62% of commercial energy demand. As climate change accelerates and heatwaves intensify, the case for passive solar control systems has never been stronger.
Independent studies, including those referenced by the U.S. Whole Building Design Guide, indicate that well-designed external louvers can reduce cooling energy use by 5–15% annually. This translates into significant energy savings, improved occupant comfort, and compliance with global green building standards.
With India’s façade market projected to reach ₹25,400 crore by 2024, and the green building materials market expected to triple by 2033, Alubreeze positions Aludecor at the forefront of two booming sectors: sustainability and smart architecture.
What is Alubreeze?
Alubreeze is a next-generation metal sun louver system crafted from 100% recyclable aluminium with 30% post-consumer content. It features factory-applied roller coatings, ensuring superior finish uniformity compared to conventional powder coating. This advanced system allows preset blade angles of 30°, 45°, and 90°, enabling architects to control solar penetration, glare, and airflow with precision.
Core Functions of Alubreeze:
- Solar Control: Significantly reduces direct heat gain on glazed façades.
- Daylight Optimization: Scatters diffused light for enhanced indoor illumination.
- Acoustic Comfort: Minimizes external noise through aerodynamic profiles.
- Weather Protection: Shields façades from rain, wind, and dust.
Key Features That Set Alubreeze Apart
-
India’s First Roller-Coated Louvers
Alubreeze is the only system in India produced on roller-coating lines, guaranteeing consistent shade matching, UV stability, and extended durability, even in coastal and high-altitude climates.
-
Premium Coating Technology
- Dual-layer PVDF and super-durable polyester (SDP) finishes ensure:
- Long-term gloss retention.
- Corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
- Compliance with AAMA 2604/2605 international standards.
-
Sustainable Building Material
Alubreeze aligns with LEED and GRIHA green building norms, helping developers earn credits for material selection. With a low CO₂ footprint and full recyclability, it supports the circular economy movement.
-
Aesthetic Versatility
Choose from hundreds of shades solid, metallic, or timber textures and create sculptural façades that make a bold design statement.
-
Self-Cleaning Design
Aerodynamic profiles promote natural rainwashing, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the louvers remain visually appealing with minimal effort.

Applications Across Sectors
Alubreeze is ideal for:
- Commercial Complexes & Corporate Towers: Elevate design while reducing cooling loads.
- Airports & Metro Stations: Control glare in large glassed areas for passenger comfort.
- Hospitality Projects: Deliver premium aesthetics with energy savings.
- Luxury Residences & Villas: Enhance privacy without compromising natural light.
- Educational & Institutional Buildings: Support sustainable architecture mandates.
The Economics of Energy-Efficient Façades
India’s commercial spaces consumed 125 TWh of electricity in FY2023-24, and HVAC systems drove most of this demand. By incorporating external solar shading solutions like Alubreeze, buildings can reduce air-conditioning loads, improve daylight quality, and create long-term operational savings. For developers, this translates into lower lifecycle costs and better green certification scores.
