Model ECV-345-MD

Extruded Aluminum Louver
3" Deep - 45 Degree Vertical Blade

The ECV-345-MD louver is engineered and tested to withstand extreme loads, debris impact, and cyclic fatigue associated with the severe weather effects of hurricanes (Miami-Dade County approval #21-1122.04). The design uses closely-spaced blades and a frame with built-in gutter and downspouts to achieve maximum water infiltration resistance for minimal louver depth. The ECV-345-MD is AMCA 540 and 550 listed, making it ideally suited for use in hurricane-prone and windborne debris regions as per the International Building Code.
