Storefront Glazing Systems
Looking for storefront glazing systems designed to support energy efficiency, durability, and different job conditions? Architectural Glass and Metal provides access to center glazed and offset glazed storefront systems for commercial, residential, and light commercial applications.
Available in five storefront series, these glass and aluminum systems are manufactured to accept a range of glass types, including high-performance glass, insulated glass units, and laminated glass. With compatible framing products, aluminum doors, hardware, and stock lengths, these storefront glazing systems help contractors and installers source complete project-ready solutions.
5 Series for High Performance
Storefront glazing systems are used to create durable, functional, and visually clean glass and aluminum entrances for businesses, homes, retail spaces, offices, and other architectural projects.
These storefront systems include a complete line of storefront stock lengths to help simplify fabrication and installation. Extruded from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, the framing sections provide strength, durability, and consistent performance for a range of storefront applications.
Available finishes include clear anodized and bronze anodized, allowing the framing sections to coordinate with different exterior and interior entrance designs.
Storefront glazing systems can be configured with traditional center glazing or offset/front-set glass. Depending on the selected system, they can accommodate insulated glass, laminated glass, and other storefront glass types.
When paired with the right high-performance glass, storefront systems can help support energy efficiency, structural performance, impact resistance, and better management of air and water infiltration. Final performance depends on the glass make-up, framing system, installation, and project requirements.
These framing materials are also designed to work with a variety of storefront products, including aluminum doors, storefront hardware, handles, and compatible glass options. This gives architects, contractors, glaziers, and installers greater flexibility when specifying complete storefront assemblies.
