Industrial Louvers, Inc. (ILI), a pioneer in innovative custom architectural metal solutions headquartered in Delano, Minnesota, presented the newest addition to its high performance Velocity Series louvers. Designed to exceed industry standards, the VS5321 Louver from ILI 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, explains, “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 one of the highest performing on the market, having passed the AMCA 540 Impact Test and the AMCA 550 standard. The VS5321 maintains its integrity with a 9 pound, 2 inch by 4 inch missile shot at velocities of 35 and 55 mph for the AMCA 540 Impact Test. It passes the AMCA 550’s formidable trial of withstanding wind-driven rain of up to 8.8 inches per hour combined with wind speeds of 110 mph without the need for a damper, allowing for critical airflow.

Reinhardt emphasized, “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.”
