Hardware & Lites : Louvers, Grates, Screens

Special-Lite custom manufactures louvers to specification for mounting in doors, transoms, and side lites. Our louver units utilize an inverted “Y"-type fixed vane. For added security and aesthetics, vanes are secured by rivets around the outside of the frame, inaccessible and hidden from view. Insect screen are also available. Louvers are available in any of our anodized finishes or painted colors.

Louvers may be specified in any size or configuration, subject to the following guidelines:

Security Grate SL-SG349
The Special-Lite Security Grate SL-SG349 incorporates a strong 1" x 1" x 1/8" (25mm x 25mm x 3.2mm) steel angle perimeter frame and sturdy metal mesh to provide additional security for doors that are subjected to severe abuse or vandalism. The security grate can be used over vision lites, bi-fold units, louvers, or other areas where a high level of protection is required. Security grates can be painted to match the door finish or any custom color.

Vandal Screen SL-SG350
The Special-Lite Vandal Screen SL-SG350 is designed for applications that require a combination of moderate security, excellent visibility, and the convenience of easy removal for glass cleaning. The frame is manufactured of anodized or painted aluminum and screws into the Special-Lite FL-Series Vision Lite kit frame with self-retaining, tamper-proof, pin-torx fasteners. The matte black, power-coated stainless steel, round-hole mesh screen features a 63% open area to maximize vision through the lite. Our vandal screen is compatible with both 1/4" and 1" (6.4mm and 25mm) glazing, and can be custom-fabricated for curves and angled corners for improved design flexibility.
