Yes, properly designed louvers provide effective rain protection while maintaining ventilation. Key factors include blade angle (typically ≥30°), overlap design, and aerodynamic profiles to deflect water.
At Xtra Metal Group, our aluminum louvers integrate precision-engineered drainage channels and anti-capillary gaps, tested to withstand wind-driven rain per ASTM E283 standards. Customization ensures optimal performance for local climates—e.g., tighter blade spacing for tropical downpours.
With 30+ years in architectural metal systems, we balance functionality with aesthetics, using marine-grade alloys and powder coatings to enhance durability. Our global project portfolio includes hurricane-prone coastal resorts and high-rise façades, validating our solutions’ rain-deflection reliability.
