About Smart Louvre

SLTechnology is the sole, global manufacturer of MicroLouvre Koolshade® metal fabric.  The fabric was invented by two senior research members of Dow Chemical and first manufactured in conjunction with the Borg-Warner Corporation.  Fabric screens (then known as Microlouvre KoolShade®) were being mass produced for commercial building application across the US, and later throughout the globe by a distributor network.  The factory was destroyed in 1989 by a hurricane and although re-built, production was affected by months of power outages and supply chain problems, and never recovered.  The original weaving machines which were gathering dust, were shipped over to the UK. SLTechnology has taken over the manufacturing and brought it into the 21st century, by computerising the machines.  Whist continuing to invest in manufacturing Smartlouvre focused on providing unique apprenticeships and training, supporting our young engineers of the future.
