The Uplands Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland, wanted to enhance the breezeways connecting its buildings. The goal was to create a design that offered more privacy without losing the open and welcoming feel of the space. The project also prioritized a modern look, durability, and low maintenance for a solution that would stand the test of time.
The Solution: VisionGuard® L20 Louvers
VisionGuard® L20 Louvers checked all the boxes. The slatted louvers provide privacy while keeping the breezeways open and airy. By allowing light and air to pass through, the louvers create a sense of openness while adding a layer of separation from the outside.
To ensure long lasting durability, VisionGuard® Louvers are made from 6063-T6 extruded aluminum and coated with AAMA 2605 powder. Backed by a 20-year warranty, these louvers are guaranteed to retain their look for decades.
Fast and Easy Installation
VisionGuard® Louvers are fabricated to project-specific dimensions for a quick and efficient installation that requires no special tools or field cutting. This streamlined design minimized the need for adjustments on-site and kept the project on schedule. The crew at Harkins Builders did a fantastic job with the quick install!
Form Meets Function
Adding VisionGuard® Louvers to the breezeways at the Uplands Apartments turned them into a standout feature, tying the whole complex together. The sleek, modern design of the louvers complements the building’s contemporary style, creating a polished and cohesive look.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, the louvers provide extra privacy and protection from the elements, making the space more comfortable for residents. They’re also low-maintenance, proving that good design can strike the right balance between style and function.
