Air Master Italic Jalousie

The Italic is the decorative member of Air Master's jalousie family, defined by its 2-inch slat profile, whereas the other configurations are built for security or storm resistance: Master Guard uses security-rated blades in 3-, 4-, and 6-inch widths, Storm Guard uses storm-rated impact blades in those same widths, and Tubular uses a tube-profile slat in 325 and 417 series. So the Italic is chosen mainly for its look and ventilation rather than impact protection. We'll walk through the jalousie options so you get the right one.

No. The Italic Jalousie is a non-impact, decorative 2-inch slat louver window and it is not HVHZ approved, so it cannot be permitted in Miami-Dade or Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. If you want storm-rated jalousie blades, Air Master's Storm Guard configuration uses storm-rated impact blades, and we can review that option with you at quote.

Like all jalousie (celosia) windows, the Italic's horizontal louver blades pivot open and closed together, giving you full-aperture airflow while the overlapping blades still shed rain when angled. That combination is exactly why the jalousie pattern became a Caribbean architectural signature. We'll confirm the operating hardware and sizing for your opening during the measure.

The Italic Jalousie is built on an aluminum frame, consistent with Air Master's jalousie family. The 2-inch decorative slats pivot within that aluminum framing. We confirm available finishes and the full configuration with you when we measure your openings.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the size of the opening, the finish, and the condition of the existing opening. As a Caribbean specialty louver window, availability and lead time can also factor in. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your openings so the price reflects your actual project.

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.

Yes, but only on specific products. Air Master's Series 250 aluminum line — fixed window, horizontal-slider window, sliding glass door, and swinging door — carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and is rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The rest of the residential catalog carries statewide Florida Product Approval, which is accepted across most of Florida but not inside the HVHZ. We confirm the right product for your county before we quote.
