Hurricane-resistant louvers offer multiple benefits in storm-prone areas, including ventilation, aesthetic enhancement, and air management. These specially designed louvers, certified by Florida Miami-Dade County, have undergone rigorous impact and high-wind testing. When installed in wall openings, they provide optimal protection against hurricane-force winds and debris.
Our louvers are available in a wide range of finishes—see our Louver Finish selection chart—to suit various architectural styles and preferences. Options include baked enamel, Kynar 500, and anodized aluminum coatings. Customers can choose from our standard color palette or request a custom color by providing a sample chip. Our advanced color-matching technology ensures that the louver finish seamlessly integrates with other elements of your building's exterior.
Hurricane Louvers are commonly specified in project documents under these divisions:
08 9000 Louvers and Vents (sometimes listed as 08 90 00, 089000)
08 9119 Fixed Louvers (sometimes listed as 08 91 19, 089119)
Hurricane louvers are available for standard performance (E6JF for normal rain resistance) or wind driven rain (E6WF for extreme weather). The impact and wind resistance are the same but the protection against water infiltration is dramatically improved with the wind driven rain model E6WF.
