Severe storms produce damaging wind and rain. Protect your building and occupants with our Hurricane and Wind Driven Rain louvers. These louvers have been tested to the most stringent standards of AMCA and Miami-Dade County, FL. You can trust our louvers to be effective in the environment, but also cost effective.
Protection from Severe Weather: The louvers are designed to protect buildings and occupants from damaging wind and rain associated with severe storms. This includes hurricanes, which are known for their high wind speeds and heavy rainfall.
Certified Standards: The louvers have been tested to rigorous standards set by organizations like the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) and Miami-Dade County, FL. These certifications ensure that the louvers meet or exceed specific performance criteria related to wind resistance, water penetration resistance, and structural integrity during storms.
Our Hurricane Louvers and Wind Driven Rain Louvers are engineered to offer robust protection against severe storms, backed by rigorous testing and certifications, and designed to be both effective and economically advantageous for building owners and managers. Louvers can be both Hurricane rated and Wind Driven Rain rated (such as the model E6WF), providing the most effective protection possible for your building.
