Horizontal Blade

Carnes Model FHLB & FGLB is a MIAMI-DADE APPROVED hurricane louver. The FHLB utilizes stationary drainable blades within a 6” deep frame. Built in rain gutters on each blade help to minimize the cascading of water from blade to blade. Drain spouts are located at the jambs to collect the water from the louver blades and channel it away to the louver sill. The design of the FHLB louver incorporates structural supports which will withstand a wind load of 25 pounds per square foot (100 mph equivalent).

Carnes FHLB & FGLB hurricane louver is licensed to bear the AMCA certified rating seal for air performance and water penetration.
