LOUVERS

Louvers are air terminal or entry devices composed of multiple blades which, when mounted in an opening, permit airflow but inhibit the ingress of other elements. The type of louver that is selected depends on the application, geographic location, and local building codes. DRAINABLE, NON-DRAINABLE, WIND-DRIVEN RAIN AND SEVERE DUTY

DRAINABLE LOUVERS Drainable-blade louvers are designed to prevent water penetration in non-wind-driven rain applications by collecting water in frame and blade gutters and channeling it into downspouts and away from airflow paths.

NON-DRAINABLE LOUVERS

Non-drainable louvers feature extruded aluminum blades and are designed for intake and exhaust applications where protection against water infiltration is not critical.

SEVERE-DUTY LOUVERS Severe-Duty louvers are engineered and tested to withstand extreme loads, debris impact and cyclic fatigue associated with the severe weather effects of hurricanes and other storm conditions. WIND-DRIVEN RAIN Wind-driven-rain louvers offer a traditional look and provide excellent protection against wind-driven rain under the most severe conditions. Designed to protect air intake and exhaust openings in building exterior walls that are sensitive to the penetration of wind-driven rain.
