Grandview, MO 64030 Tel: 816-761-7476 Email: request info Web: www.ruskin.com [ Click Here ] for additional information. Ruskin Manufacturing has been the leading manufacturer of dampers and louvers for 40 years. Ruskin has pioneered advanced products for the HVAC Industry and continues to be an industry leader with modern manufacturing equipment, computer-aided design capabilities and an AMCA registered air performance testing laboratory for research and development. All of these are backed by our experienced engineers and professional staff and reflects Ruskin's commitment to high quality product standards. While providing fresh air intake and exhaust, Ruskin Louvers can also provide architectural style to building design. With the variety of models, sizes, and paint finishes available, Ruskin Louvers can add unusual and appealing features to exterior and interior elevation. Ruskin louvers are available in depths ranging from 1.5 inches to 12 inches, and can accommodate various blade angles with high free area. Ruskin's Hurricane Louvers hold up under pressure in severe weather by preventing wind and rain damage. These louvers are built to withstand up to 160 psf windloads and nearly 9 inches per hour rainfalls. They are also the first louvers in the industry to have gained approval in Miami-Dade County.
