A vertical louver system comprising a vertical louver support system and a plurality of vertical louvers mounted on the vertical louver support system. Each of the louvers includes a channel having first and second in-turned flanges and a web joining the flanges. An insert is received within the flanges and has reusable adhesive on its outer face to permit a decorative sheet to be attached to the insert. The insert and channel are resiliently bendable but are constructed to provide a strong composite structure which resists warping due to thermal conditions.

A vertical louver system comprising: a plurality of vertical louvers; means for mounting said vertical louvers on said vertical louver supporting system; at least one of said vertical louvers including a channel and a panel-like insert; said channel including first and second flanges and a web joining said flanges, said first flange and said web defining a first elongated receiving zone and said second flange and said web defining a second elongated receiving zone; said insert being curved in transverse cross section when the insert is in an unrestrained condition; said insert being resilient and having sufficient rigidity such that it has a tendency to bend into a relatively sharp curve about a transverse axis with snap action in response to bending loads about such axis and said channel tending to bend about a tranverse axis into a more gradual curve in response to bending loads about such axis whereby said insert and said channel have different bending characteristics when bent separately about a transverse axis; said insert being received in said first and second receiving zones; and means for attaching said insert to said channel.
