2 Introduction AWV is headquartered in Holland, Ohio and is part of the Mestek Architectural Group. In addition to AWV, Mestek s Architectural activities include Linel and a strategic alliance and exclusive license agreement with Colt Group USA. The emphasis for these companies is in providing products and solutions that beautify and improve the performance of buildings through Intelligent Envelopes. The purpose of louvers is to provide for ventilation or exhaust air, while offering defense against vision, water and noise intrusion. In addition, the louver designs must give the architect aesthetic flexibility to enhance the building s appearance. AWV s broad line of architectural louvers address these design objectives. AWV S OFFERING Aesthetically Pleasing AWV architectural louvers are designed with aesthetics in mind. Reduced Energy Costs AWV s louvers are highly aerodynamically efficient. The low air resistance reduces the fan energy required to introduce the ventilation air into or exhaust air out of the building. Wide Range AWV louvers are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, materials, finishes and coatings to meet the requirements of any project. Durability AWV can provide certified structural calculations when requested to ensure louver structural integrity. All architectural louvers are constructed of aluminum. Enhanced and Proven Performance AWV louvers are both efficient and have a remarkably high resistance to water intrusion. Our louvers have been completely tested for air performance and water penetration. AWV is a member of the Movement and Control Association (AMCA) and our product performance is AMCA certified. AWV S TRACK RECORD AND CAPABILITIES AWV has more than 100 years of unsurpassed experience in the design and supply of architectural louvers. AWV s portfolio with tens of thousands of successful projects includes some of the largest, most complex louvers in both new and renovation applications. AWV has a state-of-the-art louver wind-driven rain test facility. We can test the performance of any louver including any special configurations developed for a specific project. Witness testing by clients can be arranged. AWV is dedicated to innovation and has comprehensive design capabilities. While this brochure provides a general overview of our capabilities, we welcome the opportunity to develop solutions to satisfy your unique requirements. CUSTOM SHAPES AWV offers louvers in any style and shape, not just square or rectangular. Full, half and quarter rounds, triangular and other shapes are available. Just send us a sketch of the shape and dimensions required and we ll engineer a solution. 2

STANDARD FINISHES AWV architectural louvers can be provided in mill, anodized, baked enamel, PVDF (aka Kynar) and other special finishes.

The 204R1 clear provides a 0.4 mil coating, while the 215R1 clear provides a 0.7 mil coating for extra corrosion and abrasion resistance.

PVDF (aka Kynar) is a baked-on finish made of 70% PVDF resins and durable ceramic pigments that meets AAMA2605 specifications.

3 STANDARD FINISHES AWV architectural louvers can be provided in mill, anodized, baked enamel, PVDF (aka Kynar) and other special finishes. AWV is a licensed applicator for Akzo Nobel, PPG and Valspar to meet AAMA painting (2603, 2604 & 2605) specifications. Clear anodizing provides a uniform satin finish that resists oxidation. The 204R1 clear provides a 0.4 mil coating, while the 215R1 clear provides a 0.7 mil coating for extra corrosion and abrasion resistance. Color anodizing is also available in light, medium, dark bronze or black in a 0.7 mil coating. PVDF (aka Kynar) is a baked-on finish made of 70% PVDF resins and durable ceramic pigments that meets AAMA2605 specifications. PVDF is unsurpassed in its resistance to color fading and chalking from the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is resistant to general air pollution and will not whiten or pit when exposed to the elements. PVDF finishes are available in a wide range of colors and glosses. Metallic, pearlescent and other more exotic formulations are also available. Refer to AWV s Standard Finishes Color Selection brochure (ASFCS-B-1) for our standard choice of colors. Special color matching can be provided by our in-house computerized paint color formulating system. CUSTOM FINISHES While architectural louvers are typically constructed of extruded aluminum, special appearances can be provided through a dye-sublimation process to turn ordinary materials into a work of art. We transform the aluminum to look identical to wood grain, marble, granite, masonry, carbon fiber and any creative digital design to give your project a unique signature appearance. OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES AWV offers a wide selection of options and accessories to simplify installation and provide the functionality required. Exposed or hidden mullions Variable blade spacing and angles Electric, pneumatic and manual actuators, various actuator bracket mountings, linkage materials and bearings for adjustable louvers Welded and non-welded construction in varying material thicknesses Insect/bird screens and hinged access doors Sill extensions and blank-off panels of varying dimensions Mounting angles, glazing tabs and flanged frames LEAD TIMES/QUICK DELIVERY AWV offers competitive and short lead times. In addition, quick ship programs are available on selected models for extra fast delivery. 3
