Overview

About the Jalousie Windows

Jalousie windows, celosia in Spanish, use horizontal louver blades that pivot open together for full-aperture airflow while still shedding rain. The pattern is a Caribbean architectural signature, common across Puerto Rico and the Antilles and rare on the US mainland, and Air Master is one of the few manufacturers that builds the full family: Italic (a decorative 2-inch slat), Master Guard (security blades in 3-, 4-, and 6-inch widths), Storm Guard (storm-rated impact blades in the same widths), and Tubular (a tube-profile slat).

This line is a Caribbean and island-market product rather than a standard South Florida replacement window, and it does not carry Florida Product Approval. It belongs to a different architectural typology, the tropical vernacular of Puerto Rico and the islands, and it is documented here as part of Air Master's full catalog. For a code-compliant Florida hurricane window, the relevant Air Master line is Standard Windows; the jalousie family is the island-vernacular specialty.

Frequently Asked Questions

A jalousie window (celosía in Spanish) uses a stack of horizontal glass or aluminum louver blades that crank open and closed together, like a set of blinds made of glass. Opening every blade turns nearly the whole window into ventilation while the angled slats still shed rain, which is why the style is a Caribbean and tropical-climate staple.

No. The jalousie family does not carry Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA, so it cannot be permitted as a code-compliant impact window in Florida — it is a Caribbean and island-market ventilation product. For a Florida hurricane-rated opening, the relevant Air Master line is Standard Windows; for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone jobs in Miami-Dade or Broward, it is the Series 250 line.

Four configurations: Italic (a decorative 2-inch slat), Master Guard (security-rated blades in 3-, 4-, and 6-inch widths), Storm Guard (storm-rated impact blades in the same three widths), and Tubular (a tube-profile slat offered in 325 and 417 series). They differ in blade profile, width, and how much security or storm resistance they are built for.

Most often in warm, breeze-driven settings — Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, plus older Florida rooms, lanais, porches, and carports — anywhere maximizing natural airflow matters more than air-conditioning seal. They are rare on modern code-built mainland homes because louver windows do not seal as tightly as single-hung or casement units.

Air Master's Storm Guard jalousie uses impact-rated blades built for Caribbean storm exposure, but "storm-rated" here is a product description, not a Florida certification — none of the jalousie line is FL-approved. If you need a tested impact assembly for a Florida permit, a fixed or operable impact window is the right choice, not a louver window.
