Overview

About the ATLAS Louver

ATLAS is 4K Aluminum’s premium louver structure, built on its largest posts and beams: 6″ × 6″ or 8″ × 8″ posts with 2″ × 8″ beams or larger. It’s made for commercial and residential projects.

A low-voltage motor turns the louvers. Open them to let light in and air move through; close them to keep the sun out or shut out the rain. Large gutters carry the water to the beams and down through the downspouts.

Every structure is custom designed in 10′ or 12′ louvered widths and can take 4K Aluminum lattice, Pergo-Soleil™ panels or fixed VEER™ panels. It’s also a great alternative to a 4K Aluminum cantilever.

Key features

What sets it apart

  1. 01

    Remote or app

    Open and close the louvers with a handheld remote or the ESP RainMaker app on a smartphone or tablet.

  2. 02

    Lattice, Soleil™ or VEER™ panels

    Add 4K Aluminum lattice, Pergo-Soleil™ panels or fixed VEER™ panels to the structure for extra shade and a finished look.

  3. 03

    Oversized gutters

    Large gutters drain rainwater toward the beams and out through downspouts, improving flow in heavy downpours.

  4. 04

    6.5″ louver blades

    Extruded 6063-T6 aluminum louver blades, 6.5 inches wide.

  5. 05

    Premium posts and beams

    Built on 4K Aluminum’s largest posts and beams: 6″ × 6″ or 8″ × 8″ posts with 2″ × 8″ beams or larger.

  6. 06

    110V or solar

    Choose a 110V control box or a solar one. In the Southwest US, a 25-watt solar panel keeps it charged.

FAQ

ATLAS Louver questions

All questions
How are the louvers controlled?
With a handheld remote, or the ESP RainMaker app on a smartphone or tablet. Extra remotes are available and programmed by your contractor.
What happens when it rains?
Close the louvers and the roof sheds water into the gutters, which drain toward the beams and out through downspouts.
What should I do in high winds?
Open the louvers. During high-wind events, open the ATLAS louvers to help reduce wind pressure and uplift forces, minimize potential damage, and protect the structural integrity of the system.
How large can an ATLAS structure be?
Louvered sections are 10′ or 12′ wide, and each structure is custom designed. Posts are typically every 20′–24′, and spans over 14′–18′ need a mid beam, depending on louver length. 6″ and 8″ posts both stand up to 14′ tall. Project engineering sets the final layout.
What power does it need?
It’s a low-voltage system. The control box runs on 110V, or on solar: in the Southwest US a 25-watt panel provides enough charge. Electrical work should be done by qualified personnel.
What colors are available?
ATLAS Louver comes in the five standard powder coat colors: Black, Espresso, Adobe Tan, Apollo Grey and Quartz White. Wood finishes aren’t available on louvers.
