Palram Side Louvre Window - Create a Breezy, Natural Atmosphere in Your Home

hdtrainer8hdtrainer8: This is an absolute must for any Palram Mythos greenhouse. It is sturdy and lets in ample air to cool it down. I installed it during construction of the greenhouse and it was an easy addition. I would be kicking myself now if I didn't purchase this accessory. Get it. Worth the money.

Carol W: Good quality..works well.
We will see how it stands up over the coming few seasons,It was installed into a newly constructed Palram greenhouse,so can't comment on dependability yet.

MWGalMWGal: We installed the Palram louver after our palram 6 x 8 greenhouse was already up. Total time was about 2.5 hours. This was done mostly by my husband with me helping just a little bit pushing some nuts through the frame while he tightened them up.

We removed the support system that was below the triangular piece in the back, as well as the Roofing on either side. I included pictures so you can see what we had to disassemble.

The one problem we did have is that the half sheet of wall that goes above the louver and was included was cut irregularly and my husband had to re-cut that.

But with near identical weather conditions the two days before we installed and the couple of days after… And with a fan installed in the inside to blow air through the greenhouse, I was able to lower the temperature by about 10°. We will install another louver on the side next spring.

One thing to note… We have an automatic louver opener on back order. This is different from the roof vent automatic opener and the two should not be confused. Palram makes both openers and they will work best if you use the opener that is designed for each application.

Brysio: Flimsy, cheap design- but "must have" at greenhouse. Easy installation, I did found instruction accurate, but in my case - I do have a Mythos greenhouse and did install window at rear, no need to remove roof - simply cut plastic and insert! (Some filing was necessary to improve louvers movement.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Overall this is a decent. The reason for 3 stars is I had to grind down some of the hardware to fit it in the slots of my greenhouse. Also one side of the louvre would not open at first so it made installing the slats a bit of a chore! Once I was able to get them in I was able to open it with ease. The operation is nice and easy although the quality seems a little on the cheap side. I bought a similar louvre that seems much better quality then this one but was considerably more expensive. You get what you pay for in the end.

Installation instructions were easy to follow. The install can be done by one person. It took me about 40 minutes and that includes having to modify the hardware slightly.

I recommend this product if your on a budget and you don’t mind having to potentially make mild hardware modifications.

Stevi B-B: Works great. Very happy with this vent. I highly recommend that you install this DURING construction of your greenhouse, rather than after the greenhouse is fully put together. I installed mine after my greenhouse was already built, and it was an absolute nightmare to install. Granted, I didn't have any help while installing it. A second person helping would have made things go a LOT easier. Your greenhouse will almost fall apart if you try to install the vent in an existing greenhouse. My greenhouse is the Mythos 6' x 8'. I don't know if it would have been easier with a different greenhouse model. After almost destroying my greenhouse and suffering a few injuries in the process, I'm happy to report that the vent works beautifully. You WILL need this vent to help keep your greenhouse from overheating in the hot days of summer, so buy it along with your greenhouse kit and install it at the same time to make things easier on yourself!

ellen m blackburn: These work real good. They fit the building nicely and provide a good ventilation. When closed they seal very nicely.

JackieJackie: I read the reviews for the Palram Side Louvre Window after I purchased and received the product. I was most concerned after noticing that the window is not supposed to fit the Palram Snap and Grow greenhouse. Of course, I immediately thought about returning it before I opened the packaging. After reading the detailed review By rjeffb (April 4, 2016), I decided that I too could modify my greenhouse to install the louvre window. The benefit of having fresh air come in from the bottom of the greenhouse and exhaust out the roof was too important to leave out of the construction of my greenhouse.
Yes, one difference between my installation and rjeffb is that I installed the window during construction of the Snap & Grow. I never had to remove window panels or struggle with braces or struts as I was able to place the louver in while building the greenhouse. As a result, I never had any of the problems that rjeffb experienced. In fact, I never cut the louvre panels nor made any modifications at all. Instead of installing a window panel in the middle of the back wall, I replaced it with the louvre and the small window that comes with the kit. The louvre...
