What is the difference?
- 1Function: Louvred is primarily used for ventilation and light control, while perforated is used for ventilation, drainage, tearing, or decoration.
- 2Design: Louvred has horizontal slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of light and air entering a space, while perforated has small holes or punctures that are evenly spaced and do not move.
- 3Application: Louvred is commonly used for windows, doors, and ventilation systems, while perforated is used for a wide range of applications, such as speaker grilles, drainage pipes, and gift wrapping.
