When you need a high performance louver to provide airflow
while eliminating water penetration in wind-driven rain conditions, specify
Metropolitan's Series of High Performance Louvers. Miami-Dade County
Approved is available (see below).
We have a specific High Performance louver to
meet standards PA-201, -202, and -203. MDI® specialty louvers are
designed to withstand severe weather conditions. In order to obtain
Miami-Dade County certification, louvers must pass up to four standardized
tests in which they are subjected to hurricane wind and rain conditions.
These tests are known as Protocol and Application Standards, or PA’s.
-
PA-100(A) tests the louver’s resistance to
wind-driven rain penetration.
-
PA-201 simulates the wind-driven debris that is
often present during hurricanes.
-
PA-202 tests the louver’s ability to withstand
high levels of static air pressure.
-
PA-203 is a cyclic wind pressure test, which
simulates the forces applied to a louver by repeated wind gusts.
