louvered
Having angled slats
Louvered describes something fitted with louvers—angled slats that allow airflow while blocking direct light, rain, or visibility.
Louvered doors, windows, and vents are common in architecture: The louvered shutters kept out the afternoon sun.
The design appears in everything from attic vents to car hoods to closet doors.
