Louvre Doors Guide: Slatted Doors for Ventilation in Wood, PVC and Aluminium, Fixed and Adjustable Louvres, Uses in Wardrobes, Bathrooms and Utility Rooms, Privacy, Sizes, Indicative Rates and Fitting in Pakistan
Louvre doors have angled slats that let air pass but block direct view, which makes them useful for wardrobes, bathrooms, utility rooms and storerooms that need ventilation in Pakistan's heat and humidity. Prices run from about PKR 7,000 to PKR 35,000. This page covers slatted doors for ventilation in wood, PVC and aluminium, fixed and adjustable louvres, uses in wardrobes, bathrooms and utility rooms, privacy, sizes, indicative rates and fitting. For related pages see plastic doors for bathrooms, folding doors and flush doors.
How louvres work
Louvre slats are set at an angle, usually 30 to 45 degrees, so air passes through while direct sight and rain are blocked. Fixed louvres are cheaper and sturdier, and adjustable louvres tilt to control airflow and privacy.

Where to use them
Louvre doors suit wardrobes, linen cupboards, utility rooms, storerooms, balconies and service areas, where airflow stops damp and smell. In bathrooms, choose PVC or aluminium louvres. They are not suited to bedrooms needing sound privacy.
Materials
Wood louvres look warm but need sealing, PVC louvres resist water and suit bathrooms and aluminium louvres last outdoors. Check that slats are firmly fixed and the frame is rigid so the door does not twist.
Privacy and security
Louvres give visual privacy at head height if the slats are angled correctly, but offer little security and gaps for insects. Use mesh behind the slats outdoors and avoid louvres on entrance doors.
Sizes and fitting
Standard sizes match flush doors, 0.6 to 0.9 metres wide and 2.1 metres high, with half-louvre versions that combine a louvre panel and a solid panel. Hang on three hinges and fit the frame plumb. Fitting should be done by a trained carpenter or fixer, and the frame and wall checked for level before the door is hung.
What to check before buying
- Material. PVC or aluminium for wet areas
- Louvres. Fixed or adjustable, firm slats
- Frame. Rigid, plumb
- Mesh. Where insects are a problem
Before you decide
Choose the material for the room, decide fixed or adjustable slats and keep louvre doors for service areas. A louvre door keeps wardrobes and utility rooms fresh. Keep a spare slat or two and ask the supplier whether damaged slats can be replaced. Check that the slats do not rattle when the door closes, and ask for the louvre angle in degrees, since a steeper angle gives more privacy and less airflow.
