a. Using the platform of CS models RS-7315 or RS-9615, we make adaptations that allow us to use CENTRIA MetalWrap panels at the inactive areas in place of CS standard blankoff panels.  This allows for better air and water seals, and great improved thermal performance due to the highest quality insulation and full thermal break offered by the CENTRIA panel system.  

1. There are three main criteria that we use to identify the right MetalWrap Louver application:
   1. A large louvered area, wherein there is a mix of active and inactive areas with more than 50% of the total area being inactive.
   2. The desired look is a continuous, monolithic louvered appearance with no visual differentiation between the active and inactive areas.
   3. The space behind the louvered area is conditioned.
2. Adhering to these three criteria will ensure that your building achieves the highest quality product solution, and in many cases realize a significant cost savings vs. the traditional louver and insulated blankoff setup.

a. Yes!  When integrated with CENTRIA panels, the quintessential components of the louver remain unchanged.  Using modifications to the framework only, we can provide the same air and watertight seals as the CENTRIA insulated metal panel systems.

a. Yes! The integrated fastening method is Dade County Certified for a variety of models and will maintain all of the same hurricane/impact ratings as the standard connection method.
