Since ancient times, wooden lattices or brise soleils have been used in the architecture of various cultures for their great functional and aesthetic value. These structures not only allow to control natural light and ventilate spaces, but also provide a unique visual identity to buildings. Over the years, lattices have maintained their relevance in architectural design, and today, thanks to technological advances, their installation is much more efficient and flexible.
At Grupo GUBIA, we have worked for years developing customized lattice systems to meet the needs of each project, from exteriors to interiors, always guaranteeing the quality of the materials and the best technical performance.
Interior latticework: a growing trend in interior design
While exterior lattices are well known for their ability to protect from the sun and provide privacy, interior wood louvers are gaining ground as a decorative and functional option in interior design. In addition to serving practical functions such as reducing direct light, interior louvers bring a welcoming and refined aesthetic that elevates the quality of any space.
In interiors, wooden lattices can be used in multiple ways. For example, they are ideal for dividing spaces without completely enclosing them, allowing the creation of differentiated but visually connected areas. This type of partition is especially useful in open environments, where a balance between integration and privacy is wanted.
Decorative applications of wood latticework in the home
One of the most interesting applications of interior lattices is as a decorative panel in bedrooms, where they can be used as a bed headboard, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere. Whether placed in front of a window to reduce the incidence of light or simply as a decorative element on the wall, these lattices add a distinctive and personal touch to the space.
Also, in living rooms, lattices can function as panels for televisions, adding texture and warmth to the décor. At the same time, they protect the wall and make the space feel lighter and more harmonious. In addition, in indoor or winter gardens, wooden lattices combined with plants create an attractive visual contrast, integrating green spaces with the rest of the house.
Wooden lattices for rest and privacy spaces
Another outstanding application of lattices is in rest areas, such as balconies, relaxation areas, offices, etc. In these spaces, louvers offer privacy and control over light, while allowing air circulation. Wood adds an atmosphere of tranquility, ideal for disconnecting from the hectic pace of everyday life.
Lattices in indoor or winter gardens are also an excellent decorative option. When combined with plants and other natural elements, wooden lattices or brise soleils create an attractive visual contrast. They also integrate green spaces with the rest of the house, corporate or leisure building.
Exterior lattices: a symbiosis of functionality and design
In terms of exterior applications, wooden lattices continue to be a popular choice for facades. It relates to the fact that they have the ability to filter sunlight, regulate ventilation and protect the privacy of building occupants. Projects such as Paseo de Mallorca 15 or Parallel, on which we have worked, are examples of how exterior louvers can contribute not only to the energy performance of a building, but also to its aesthetics.
In addition to their functionality, exterior lattices add personality and character to facades. Wood, with its texture and natural color, plays an important role in the integration of the building into the environment, whether urban or natural. Its ability to transform itself according to the light conditions, creating a play of shadows, makes the exterior lattice a living element that evolves over time.
Technical considerations for the installation of wooden lattices
In both interior and exterior applications, the installation of wooden lattices must be carefully planned. It is critical to choose the right wood species for each environment. Factors such as humidity and exposure to the elements can influence its durability. Outdoors, for example, adequate drainage systems should be provided to prevent water accumulation. This ensures that the wood will not suffer damage over time.
At Grupo GUBIA, our technical team is in charge of analyzing every detail to ensure that the lattices meet the highest standards of quality and design. From the choice of materials to the final installation, we ensure that each project is a success. We provide durable and customized solutions for each client.
