Airolite’s product line includes custom penthouses that utilize Airolite’s standard louver blade shapes. Standard box or mitered corner designs are available.

Airolite Architectural Louvers are assembled entirely by welding to ensure optimum strength and durability required to resist vibration damage and eliminate the potential for galvanic corrosion. Fluoropolymer and anodized finish coatings are applied to Airolite Architectural Louvers only after each product is weld-assembled to ensure that all exposed edges and surfaces received maximum protection.
