DELANO, Minnesota, United States, 19 August 2024: Industrial Louvers Inc. (ILI) has presented an addition to its Velocity Series louvres. Making the announcement through a Press Release, ILI said the VS5321 Louvre represents a new pinnacle of impact and storm performance, meeting the most rigorous requirements of the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA).

Brett Reinhardt, President, ILI, said: “The VS5321 Louver embodies our commitment to engineering excellence and customer satisfaction. It stands as a testament to our dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation.

“The VS5321 Louver is not just a product, it’s a solution — a solution that offers unmatched protection against severe weather conditions while delivering optimal ventilation. It does so with a narrow profile that is easily incorporated into a variety of surrounding conditions, including curtainwall.”

ILI claimed that the VS5321 is one of the highest performing in the market, having passed the AMCA 540 Impact Test and the AMCA 550 standard. ILI said the louvre maintains its integrity with a nine-pound, two-inch by four-inch missile shot at velocities of 35 and 55 metres per hour for the AMCA 540 Impact Test. ILI said it passes the AMCA 550’s trial of withstanding wind-driven rain of up to 8.8 inches per hour combined with wind speeds of 110 metres per hour without the need for a damper, allowing for critical airflow.
