Formed Stationary Louvers

Applications

In addition to our extruded aluminum models, Airline offers an extensive line of fabricated louvers. These models give the designer great flexibility.

A number of different blade types are available including straight, baffle and sightproof (chevron). The numerous possible combinations of material and blade style allow the designer to select a louver for almost any application encountered.

Most often constructed of 16 gauge galvanized steel, they are also available in stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other materials to suite different applications and environments.

Airline has the capability to manufacture copper dormers for use with louvers to achieve the desired architectural appearance.
