Wind Driven Rain Louvers

All louvers let air get into buildings, but the problem is they also let rain in. Over the years GMC developed a lot of louvers intended to stop rain, and in the still air tests conducted by AMCA, many of these louvers seemed effective at stopping water.

Overview

All louvers let air get into buildings, but the problem is they also let rain in. Over the years GMC developed a lot of louvers intended to stop rain, and in the still air tests conducted by AMCA, many of these louvers seemed effective at stopping water. But those tests didn't account for wind driven rain. WL Storm-Resistant Louvers keep 100% of water out of buildings and are 20 times more effective at stopping rain than conventional louvers. All of our Storm-Resistant Louvers meet AMCA wind driven rain test standards.
