Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3461968A1] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a facade louver, and to the corresponding facade louver. The louver comprises a number of parallel slats (1) spaced at a distance from each other and having a uniform cross-sectional profile, and end frames (2) at the ends of the slats for supporting the slats. According to the invention, openings (3) corresponding to the cross-sectional profile of the slats (1) are machined in both of the end frames (2) at said distance from each other, and holes (4) are machined in both ends of the slats in the same position in each of the slats. The slats are then pushed from their ends through the openings of the end frames, so that the holes machined in them pass to the other side of the end frames. Then, a pipe (5) is pushed through the holes arranged in the same position in each of the slats, and an expanding means is drawn through the pipe, the expanding means being larger than the inner diameter of the pipe, so as to expand the pipe in the areas between the slats, thereby locking the slats in place around the pipe.
