Combination Extruded Aluminum Louvers

Combination louvers integrate stationary louver appearance and adjustable blades in a single frame. Louver Type K8206 incorporates drainable stationary blades; Louver Type K8306 utilizes architectural blade design; and, Louver Type K8406 offers drainable stationary blades and inhibits air infiltration when the adjustable blade face closes against ethylene-propylene gaskets installed inside each jamb frame.

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.
