Storefront

4500 Series

4500 Series is a center-set glass storefront framing system used in interior and low-rise applications. The system is designed for exterior glazing and features easy roll-in gasket installation. Like the T14000 Series, 4500 Series storefront framing can be assembled using screw spline or clip joinery.

T14000 Series

T14000 Series is a thermally improved center-set glass storefront framing system used in low-rise exterior applications. The product allows for inside or outside glazing and is assembled using screw spline or clip joinery. Extra-heavy intermediate verticals are also available for better performance against strong wind loads.

T14650 Series

T14650 Series has the same design, assembly and accessories as 14000 Series, but with a 6-1/2-inch frame depth. The additional 2-inch depth on the interior side provides increased structure, which allows for taller first floor openings.The wider profile also gives the product a more distinctive appearance that is more like curtain wall framing.

Curtain Wall

200 Series

200 series is an economical curtain wall system with a wide range of low- to mid-rise applications. The product is an exterior glazed pressure bar system with 2-inch face dimension, making it ideal for curving.

400 Series

400 Series is a structurally improved curtain wall framing system that reduces the need for steel reinforcing in mid-rise and high performance storefront applications. It is glazed using an exterior screw-applied pressure bar with snap-on covers. Silicone verticals also available for a seamless appearance.
