Extruded Aluminum Grilles

Airolite extruded aluminum grilles and screens are custom designed to your specification to function as architectural accents, sight or solar screens, and security barriers. Special features, including concealed hinges, locking mechanisms and circular or triangular shapes are available.

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

Signature Grilles - Signature grilles and architectural accents are fabricated in a range of materials and finishes to your custom design and specification. Tubes, rounds and bars in varying sizes can be configured with concealed welded construction.
