ABSTRACT:
A louvre for a louvre assembly comprises a profile having a plurality of optionally useable pivot mounting positions each of which is selectively adapted to be utilized to mount the louvre in an assembly of adjacent louvres. Anyone of the remaining pivot mounting positions is selectively adapted to be utilized to control the pivotable orientation of the louvre in the assembly. Each louvre comprises an up-turned lip at one edge thereof and an down-turned lip at the other edge thereof. These lips serve to prevent ingress of water to the area below the assembly which forms an openable roof structure. An alternative louvre comprises a pair of like formed, elongate, resilient surface profile sections, each having disposed at opposed lateral edges thereof mutual interengagement means, which upon flexure of the respective sections during assembly results in interengagement of the sections. A prefabricated core having tapered or otherwise lateral edges is located between the surface profile sections.
