Timber slatted top-hung sliding screen Revit family featuring a horizontal louvred panel suspended from an exposed black metal track system. Constructed with tightly spaced horizontal timber battens set within a minimal perimeter metal frame, this sliding panel provides both solar shading and privacy. The screen hangs from a continuous top-mounted steel track supported by three fixing brackets, with integrated guide rollers visible at the upper mounting points. A matching slim floor guide rail extends along the bottom run to maintain lateral alignment during operation. The natural light-wood tone of the infill louvres contrasts against the black powder-coated finish of the structural runners and hardware fittings.
The download is a 1.3 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.
Load this RFA component directly into architectural projects to control facade shading or partition interior layouts. Adjust family type parameters or instance properties to configure track lengths, panel positions, and opening clearances to match specific rough openings. Material parameters allow easy substitution of timber stains or metal finishes to coordinate with surrounding window mullions and exterior envelope cladding systems.
Well suited for residential balconies, exterior glazed facades, hospitality guest suites, and contemporary terrace enclosures requiring movable solar protection. It functions effectively as an exterior louvered shutter, operable brise-soleil, or internal room divider between living spaces and home offices. The component integrates cleanly alongside full-height sliding glass doors, curtain walls, and rendered masonry elevations across concept design and technical detailing stages.
