Ruskin has pioneered advanced louvers for the HVAC industry and continues to be an industry leader with modern manufacturing equipment, computer aided design capabilities, and an air performance testing laboratory for research and development. Ruskin was the first manufacturer to receive louver product approval for use in Miami-Dade County, Florida. To gain this approval, louvers must perform severe load tests that simulate hurricane-force winds and flying debris. With other Miami-Dade County and wind driven rain models in development, Ruskin continues to pioneer the design of louvers for severe weather applications.
Ruskin finishes provide both corrosion resistance and beauty to the appearance of louvers. A wide variety of Kynar finishes are available for long life and excellent color retention. Kynar 500 is a superior finish that offers the best overall performance and can be computer formulated in-house to match an almost endless range of custom colors. Ruskin's standard 50% Kynar finish economically provides the same color matching capability and excellent performance. Acrodize Hardcoat is another 50% Kynar finish that furnishes a metallic sheen similar to anodize and metallic paints. All of these now come with a standard 20-year warranty on extruded louvers and are applied in-house in Ruskin's manufacturing facilities ensuring quick delivery. Ruskin also offers clear and color anodizing, prime coat, and epoxy finishes.
