Air Master Storm Guard Jalousie (3"/4"/6")

The Storm Guard uses large-missile-impact (LMI) rated blades, so it is built to resist windborne-debris impact, unlike a standard non-impact jalousie. However, our profile does not list it as approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) covering Miami-Dade and Broward, so we will confirm the current Florida approval and where it can be permitted at quote. We never put a window in an opening it isn't approved for.

The Storm Guard is offered in three slat (blade) widths: 3-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch, all using the same impact-resistant blade design. We help you choose the width based on the size of the opening and the proportions you want on the wall. The wider blades suit larger openings, while narrower blades give a finer louver pattern.

The Storm Guard is the storm-rated member of Air Master's jalousie family, with large-missile-impact blades in 3-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch widths. It differs from the security-rated Master Guard (forced-entry blades, non-impact), the decorative Italic with a 2-inch slat, and the tube-profile Tubular (325/417). If you want both ventilation and impact resistance in a louver window, the Storm Guard is the one we'd point you to.

The Storm Guard is built with an aluminum frame and impact-resistant louver blades, a combination well suited to South Florida's salt air and storm exposure. The aluminum construction carries the impact-rated blade system while keeping the louvers operating smoothly. We'll confirm the finish and configuration when we measure your opening for a free estimate.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the opening size, the slat width you choose, and the condition of the existing frame. As an impact-rated specialty louver window, the Storm Guard's configuration drives the price more than a standard window does. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your openings so the number 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.
