Also known as louver windows, jalousie windows take their name from the French word for “jealousy,” as they are meant to screen something from view. Jalousie windows were in vogue in France in the 1700s, though they were only patented in 1901 by an American, Joseph W. Walker of Malden, Massachusetts.

Jalousie windows are made up of multiple slats of glass and work just like plantation shutters. You operate it by turning a crank, which tilts and opens the slats all at once because they are joined with a track. One of their distinct benefits is that they can be tilted slightly to let in cool breezes while protecting the interior from rain, and an option to open the slats entirely to improve air circulation within a room, especially during summer months. The design of jalousie windows is versatile enough to suit any architectural style, but they are more common in tropical climates or dwellings with no air conditioning.
