louvered doors
Angled slat entries
Louvered doors have horizontal slats angled to allow airflow while blocking direct view.
The slats—called louvers—tilt like venetian blinds fixed in place.
Common for closets, laundry rooms, and pantries where ventilation matters more than soundproofing: The louvered doors let the water heater breathe.
Also spelled louvred in British English.
