From specification to delivery

Because OBE fabricates both the StormMax® storefront series framing and a wide variety of glass infills, the company’s single-source capability allows them to streamline the process and provide customers with access to the options that best fit their design, budget and timeline. Additionally, customers can save time and money by customizing their system — from the glass infill, to a variety of simplified anchors and mullions, to various reinforcement options — to achieve the protection they need without over-engineering. 
Product details

The StormMax® storefront features a screw spline assembly and features extruded water deflectors. The storefront’s anchoring flexibility is dependent on wind loads with no special engineering required for standard substrates. StormMax® storefront design allows for aluminum reinforcing to balance added strength with ease of installation and is designed to seamlessly integrate with OBE’s standard StormMax® entrance system. It is available in an array of architectural paint colors and anodized finishes.
