Storm Class^™ Louvers

Airolite Storm Class^™ louvers are designed and rated to provide high volume intake and exhaust ventilation and prevent water penetration under the most severe wind driven rain conditions.

Designed and certified under the internationally recognized HEVAC Technical Specification to resist water penetration under wind driven rain conditions. 100% effective against water penetration when tested under 45 mph exterior wind velocity and 4.3 in/hour (110 mm/hr) rainfall rate for 60 minutes by BSRIA under the HEVAC test configuration. Airolite offers both AMCA Licensed performance ratings and ratings certified by BSRIA under the HEVAC Technical Specification.

Airolite Architectural Louvers are assembled entirely by welding to ensure optimum strength and durability required to resist vibration damage and eliminate the potential for galvanic corrosion. Fluoropolymer and anodized finish coatings are applied to Airolite Architectural Louvers only after each product is weld-assembled to ensure that all exposed edges and surfaces received maximum protection.
