Penthouses - Extruded Aluminum & Fabricated

Applications

For designs requiring intake or exhaust of air through the roof of a building. Airline has a number of penthouse models from which to choose. Airline can make a number of different types using any of our standard blade styles for the louver walls. For models XPB-4 and XPC-4, mitered and welded corners and concealed mullions are standard. Box corners and mullions are available at a considerable cost saving for applications where appearance is less important.

Models XPWD-6, FPC-4 and FPB-4 are only available with box corners and exposed mullion construction. Model XPWD-6 should be used for applications where maximum free area and minimum water penetration are important. Models FPB-4 and PFC-4 are cost effective alternatives to the XPB-4 and XPC-4 extruded models.

Penthouses can be constructed using any of Airline's fixed, adjustable or combination louvers. Mill finish is standard; optional finishes include anodize, Kynar 500, baked enamel and prime coating. All penthouses include removable 1/2" mesh bird screen. Roof panels are provided with sound absorbing undercoating; 1" thick insulation is available if required.
