Ohio Gratings, Inc.: TornadoGuard Steel Louvers

CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 21, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Ohio Gratings, Inc. has launched TornadoGuard a new steel louver designed in accordance with the FEMA 361 Standard for tornado shelters and other similar applications. The TornadoGuard Steel Louver System is designed to protect critical infrastructures from tornado strength wind and debris.
