About this asset

This modern sliding louver screen Revit family provides an external solar shading assembly mounted on an overhead bracketed tracking rail. Four tall rectangular framed panels hang from an overhead running track supported by discrete wall-mounting L-brackets. The louvered infill is encased within slender perimeter profiles, arranged in a bi-parting or bypassing sliding arrangement with bottom guide extrusions. Finished in architectural metal such as powder-coated aluminium or galvanised steel, the clean mechanical assembly combines functional sun shading with crisp geometric rhythm. Visible detailing includes bracket fastener points, top roller channel profiles, and slim floor tracks that maintain panel alignment across large structural apertures.

The download is a 1.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Autodesk Revit, load this RFA component directly into external envelope or facade models to quickly articulate solar shading assemblies. Place the track assembly along building perimeters, adjusting reference levels and host alignments to marry with window heads or balcony slab edges. Assign project-specific aluminium or polyester powder coat finishes in the type parameters to ensure consistent coordination between elevation drawings and realistic visualisations.

Engineered for contemporary residential developments, seaside villas, boutique hotels, and mixed-use commercial blocks, this sliding shutter system manages daylight control and facade privacy. The system coordinates seamlessly alongside curtain walling, exterior glazing systems, and deep terrace reveals. Architects looking for exterior sliding shutters, facade solar louvres, operable sunscreens, or sliding brise-soleil solutions can deploy this component during schematic design, planning elevations, and facade detailing packages.
