About

A TURNING POINT IN ARCHITECTURAL LOUVERS

Welcome to a renaissance in architectural beauty and functionality. At OSA , we open new vistas in design and function with louvers that seamlessly integrate with your building’s façade and deliver the best performance. As a national distributor drawing on over three decades of collaboration with designers, façade consultants, mechanical and acoustical engineers, contractors, and building owners, we have honed our solutions to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of the entire construction team. The results are louvers that go beyond beauty to optimize the functionality of new construction and renovations.

THE OSA DIFFERENCE

AESTHETICS

We understand that generally, you don’t want louvers on your building. Rather than designing louvers and hoping they work with your aesthetics, our architectural louvers have been engineered based on our client’s feedback for over 30 years. This means that right from the start, we are anticipating the design or we have options that will blend into your façade without jeopardizing the performance.

FUNCTIONALITY

First and foremost, our louver needs to meet your project requirements. However don’t fall into the trap of “if it was used on Project A then it should would work on Project B”. Every project is completely different and we are here to quickly give you multiple options to reduce the square footage or provide other ways to work within the mechanical engineers requirements.

EXPERTISE

Every designer is different with their own vision and aesthetics. More than having an unrivaled depth of technical knowledge, at OSA we understand real life consulting and listen intently to our customers and their challenges. Our time spent in Design Development enables us to discuss design options while mitigating risks from costly performance oversights and RFI’s.
