Airolite Introduces FEMA-Compliant Aluminum Louver

Airolite-FEMA-Compliant-LouverSchofield, WI - Airolite has introduced Louver Type AFG501, a 5.5-inch deep, severe-duty aluminum louver that protects exterior wall penetrations on FEMA 36-1 or 320-compliant storm shelters or safe rooms. The AFG501’s design incorporates inverted V-style blades that lend high free area, excellent resistance to water penetration and very low airflow resistance, while providing maximum protection against extremely high wind loads and wind-borne debris.  Licensed to bear the AMCA seal for Water Penetration and Air Performance, Louver AFG501’s UL Classified wind-storm rated assembly can withstand wind loads up to 300 PSF and passes the ICC 500 debris impact standard of a 15 lb. 2x4 traveling at 100 MPH.  

Airolite louvers can be specified with a variety of options in a broad array of architectural finishes for durability and compatibility with adjacent components.
