About Us

They don’t make louvres like they use to!

Louvre Windows have been around for a very long time. You may remember them as old rusty, leaky louvres. Today, Breezway has developed a new generation of Louvre Windows using the latest technology to ensure a high-quality product that will last a lifetime.

Architects HPC incorporated Powerlouvre Windows into a smart Building Management System to assist with energy savings in Breezway’s sustainable head office building. View project.

Breezway History

Breezway is proud to be part of a rich history of manufacturing louvre windows that dates back nearly a century. The early success with the first louvre patent filed by A E Appleton & Sons in the 1930s was a testament to the quality and popularity of our products. Over the years, the company has undergone several name changes due to mergers and sales, but our focus on louvre windows has remained constant. Today, Breezway continues to innovate and produce high-quality louvre windows for customers around the world. The company’s long history and commitment to excellence make it a trusted and respected name in the industry.

Breezway Today

Breezway is at the forefront of louvre window technology and design. Still operating out of the same Brisbane based site since our inception, there is a constant stream of product improvements flowing from our R&D Centre. Our local facilities include 3D modelling, on-site tooling and manufacturing for all of Australia and New Zealand. There is an on-site NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) approved window testing laboratory. As a result, the team has developed many louvre window innovations which now hold international patents.
