 Drainable blade louvers achieve optimum air performance and water penetration
ratings with vertical and horizontal gutter systems that capture droplets before
they cascade from blade to blade and are entrained in the airstream. Dual drain louvers incorporate two gutters to accelerate the removal of water
from the louver. Specify Louver Types K6846 and K6856 with standard mullions or
Louver Types CB6846 and DRM6856 with continuous blade or recessed mullion
arrangements. 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.
