Los Angeles Thermally Broken Storefronts with Impact Resistance

Architectural Glass and Metal provides access to thermally broken storefront systems for commercial projects in Los Angeles, Southern California, and beyond.

These storefront systems are designed to support energy performance, durability, and security-focused glazing applications. With thermally broken aluminum framing and impact-resistant laminated glass options, they can help improve interior comfort, reduce heat transfer, and provide added protection for commercial entrances and storefront openings.

Built for demanding architectural environments, thermally broken storefronts can be used in retail spaces, office buildings, hospitality projects, mixed-use developments, and other commercial facilities that require strong, efficient, and visually clean storefront systems.

Los Angeles Thermally Broken Storefronts

Thermally Broken Storefronts with Impact Resistant Glass Offer Enhanced Security

Security and performance are important considerations for many commercial storefront projects. Thermally broken storefront systems with impact-resistant laminated glass can help provide added protection while supporting a modern architectural appearance.

The laminated glass used in these systems includes a tough interlayer designed to help hold the glass together if breakage occurs. This can improve post-breakage performance and reduce the risk of loose glass fragments, depending on the final glass make-up and system configuration.

Modern Impact Resistance

Impact-resistant storefront systems are designed to improve structural performance and glass retention when compared with standard glazing configurations.

In the event of breakage, laminated glass can help keep broken glass attached to the interlayer rather than allowing it to separate into loose shards. This helps support safer post-breakage behavior for occupants, pedestrians, and storefront areas.

For commercial facilities, this combination of thermally broken framing and laminated safety glass can provide a strong balance of energy performance, impact resistance, durability, and visual appeal.

Thermally Broken Storefronts Also Deliver Greater Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is one of the key advantages of thermally broken storefront systems. By helping minimize heat transfer through the aluminum frame, these systems can support more stable indoor conditions and improved thermal performance.

Thermally broken storefronts are especially useful for commercial projects where large glass openings, high visibility, and interior comfort are important. With multiple configurations and finish options available, the system can be adapted to different project styles, performance requirements, and installation needs.

Thermal Break & Pour & Debridge Benefits

 

  • Helps improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling load
  • Supports structural performance and long-term durability of the fenestration unit
  • Thermal break in the frame helps limit heat and air transfer between interior and exterior conditions
  • Pour and debridge thermal barrier helps improve frame insulation and system performance
  • Supports impact resistance, structural longevity, and high shear performance depending on system configuration

Impact Resistant Glass Benefits

 

  • Laminated interlayer helps glass remain attached after breakage
  • Designed to withstand strong impacts depending on make-up and tested configuration
  • Provides added strength, rigidity, and post-breakage stability
  • Laminated glass may be specified to meet relevant ANSI and ASTM standards depending on final configuration
  • Available in clear and translucent white interlayers depending on project needs
