Architectural Louvers
AWV's architectural louvers combine aesthetic design with functional ventilation. These aluminum systems control airflow while preventing water and noise intrusion. Ideal for building facades, they reduce energy costs through aerodynamic efficiency and offer customizable finishes to match architectural visions.
Commercial Dampers
Our commercial dampers regulate airflow in HVAC systems across hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities. Available in backdraft and volume control types, they meet stringent safety standards. Custom-engineered options and on-site performance testing ensure reliability in demanding environments.
Sunshades
AWV's sunshades reduce cooling loads by blocking solar radiation while enhancing building aesthetics. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, these maintenance-free systems feature diverse blade configurations and mounting options to create dynamic architectural effects for modern structures.
Vision Screens
Our vision screens conceal mechanical equipment while maintaining ventilation. These durable aluminum grilles prevent visibility into technical spaces like parking garages. Custom designs balance functionality with artistic expression, integrating seamlessly into commercial and educational building exteriors.
Architectural Grilles
AWV's architectural grilles provide ventilation and visual control for building facades. Available in standard and custom configurations, they combine structural integrity with design flexibility. Non-welded construction options maintain clean lines while ensuring durability in high-traffic environments.
