Louver Types
Specialty
Specialty Louvers Airline specialty louvers are designed to withstand severe weather conditions. In order to obtain Miami-Dade County certification, louvers must pass up to four standardized tests in which they are subjected to hurricane wind and rain conditions. These tests are known as Protocol and Application Standards, or PA's. PA-100(A) tests the louver's resistance to wind-driven rain penetration. PA-201 simulates the wind-driven debris that is often present during hurricanes. PA-202 tests the louver's ability to withstand high levels of static air pressure. Finally, PA-203 is a cyclic wind pressure test, which simulates the forces applied to a louver by repeated wind gusts. Airline's LSA6D45-DC louver meets standards PA-201, 202, and 203. The LSA5CDD and LSA8CDD models are specialty louvers designed to eliminate water penetration in wind-driven rain conditions.
Drainable
Drainable Blade Louvers Airline drainable blade louvers feature a specially constructed edge gutter and downspout in each blade. Falling water is drained to the jambs, removing cascading water droplets from the air stream. These features, coupled with the louver's unique blade design, provide the industry's top draining performance. Drainable blades are highly recommended for use in applications where water penetration and air performance are most critical. Airline drainable blade louvers allow very low water penetration with extremely high free area. These models have excellent rigidity, a feature that helps to minimize wind deflection.
Storm
Storm Blade Louvers Airline storm resistant blade louvers feature specially constructed blades with a center weather baffle for optimum protection. Storm resistant louvers are generally used where water penetration and air performance are required but not critical. Airline storm blade louvers have excellent rigidity, which minimizes wind deflection.
Weather
Weather Blade Louvers Airline weather resistant blade louvers are manufactured with a clean, attractive design that provides good all-weather protection. The continuous blade presents uninterrupted horizontal lines, enhancing your architectural design. Weather-resistant blades are recommended in applications where water penetration and air performance are not critical.
Brick Vent
Brick Vents Airline brick vents are an economical option for ventilation in crawl spaces, hung ceilings, incinerator rooms, chimney flues, foundations, pipe spaces, and corridors. They can be used in both new and existing structures where a conventional louver would not be used. Brick vents are available in either extruded or cast aluminum with standard clear anodized finish. Non-standard finishes of bronze anodized and baked enamel are also available. Airline can provide ducts and/or dampers along with brick vents.
Special Shaped
Special Shaped Louvers In addition to their functional qualities, Airline louvers also provide aesthetic value. Louvers complement and accentuate architectural features like arches and angular rooflines. Airline louvers are available in circular, semicircular, triangular, and other geometric shapes. These special shapes are available in stationary louver styles only. For information on custom applications, please consult an Airline product representative.
Thin-Line
Thin-Line Louvers Airline thin-line louvers are commonly used with air conditioner (P.T.A.C.) units or for decorative architectural applications. These louvers provide high free area with limited weather protection. Thin-line louvers are available in a variety of colors, finishes, and frame options. They are fabricated from extruded aluminum for durability and easy handling.
