Sealing louvers for roof structures
Louvered roof systems are provided with one or more louvers. Such louvers can be combined in an assembly that is movable between an open condition and a closed condition. In the closed condition, louvers in the assembly engage one another. In such engagement, a leg extending generally transversely from one louver may include a wing that extends generally transversely to the leg and that abuts a surface of an adjacent louver. Additionally or alternatively, in such engagement, a leg extending transversely from one louver may be received in a notch in an adjacent louver. An end cap can include a downwardly extending flange that directs liquid flow from a louver's top surface and past its bottom surface to form droplets or streams to fall from a lower part of the flange and prevent travel of the liquid flow along the bottom surface of the louver.
