The PS-P is Alupro's core facade louver system—a modular, fully customizable solution used across a wide range of architectural applications, from building ventilation opening screening and exterior cladding to interior screening elements and suspended ceiling applications. It is designed to adapt to virtually any project requirement: new construction or renovation, simple or complex facades, standard or unique geometries.
This guide covers the essentials: how the PS-P system works, the available blade profiles, materials, surface treatments, and practical specification guidance for architects, designers, and project teams.
The PS-P system is built around extruded aluminium blade profiles that are assembled into modules using mounting pipes and guiding components. Modules are delivered ready for installation, and large louver fields are assembled from multiple modules with guiding parts that ensure the blade division remains visually uniform across joints. This modular approach allows virtually any field size to be achieved without visible horizontal discontinuities.
Standard PS-P modules are available with several blade profiles—designated PS-1, PS-2, PS-3, PS-4, PS-5, and PS Tube—each with different blade dimensions, visual character, and optical density. The appropriate blade type is selected based on the degree of visual screening required, the ventilation performance needed, and the aesthetic intent of the project.
Modules are available with or without frames. When frames are used, they can be applied to individual elements or to the outer edges of the entire louver field, creating a clean, finished perimeter. The product documentation includes detailed framing options and installation method drawings for specifiers.
The choice of blade profile determines both the visual character of the louver and its functional properties. Narrower blades (PS-1, PS-2) create a finer, denser appearance, while wider blades (PS-3, PS-5) provide a more open, pronounced visual rhythm.
All standard PS-P blades are made from extruded aluminium. For projects requiring alternative materials, sheet metal versions are available in brass, copper, and stainless steel—a valuable option for renovation or heritage projects, or wherever the material itself is an architectural expression.
The maximum size of a single module depends on its height. Modules up to 200 mm high can be up to 1500 mm wide; those up to 500 mm high can extend to 2000 mm. The maximum single-element dimension is 1400 mm (h) × 3000 mm (l). For larger fields, modules are connected with guiding parts.
Standard PS-P louvers are extruded aluminium, which is lightweight, durable, and 100% recyclable. For projects where the material's natural appearance or a specific alloy characteristic is required, copper, brass, and stainless steel are available.
Powder coating is the standard surface treatment, providing a UV-resistant, weather-resistant finish in the full RAL color range. For high-traffic public areas where graffiti is a risk, an anti-graffiti coating can be applied. This treatment makes unwanted markings easy to remove and eliminates the need to repaint affected surfaces.
Anodizing is available on a case-by-case basis. Specifiers who wish to explore this option for specific projects should contact Alupro directly.
PS-P louvers are used across a broad spectrum of applications. As ventilation protection, they cover openings for HVAC systems, radiator ducts, and mechanical plant rooms. As architectural elements, they create screening surfaces for facades, parking structures, and utility enclosures—providing visual privacy or concealing mechanical systems without blocking natural ventilation. In interior applications, PS-P louvers are used as suspended ceiling panels, wall features, and room dividers.
The system's flexibility extends to curved surfaces. Cylindrical louver modules can be used to upholster curved facades or wrap around structural elements. Modules can also be specified with different slot patterns and shapes to meet specific functional or design requirements.
BIM users can download Revit RFA and RVT files directly from the Alupro product catalogue for all PS-P variants, enabling accurate digital coordination with other building systems.
Yes. Powder-coated aluminium PS-P louvers are suitable for exterior use and are designed for long-term weather resistance. For coastal or particularly exposed locations, we recommend discussing material and finish selection with our team to ensure the specification is appropriate for the specific environmental conditions.
Individual modules reach up to 1400 × 3000 mm. Larger louver fields are assembled from multiple modules connected by guiding parts that maintain uniform blade spacing and a seamless visual appearance across joints. There is no effective maximum field size.
Yes. RFA and RVT files are available for PS-P louver variants in the Alupro online product catalogue. These allow the louver to be accurately modeled in a building information model for coordination and specification purposes.
