Storefront system

Designed to add increased thermal performance and value, Kawneer’s new addition to the company’s trusted Trifab® platform gives you more. More flexibility. More thermal options. More design choices. Flexible enough for a wide range of building projects, Trifab® VersaGlaze® 601 Series Framing Systems have a 6" depth, which accommodates higher spans than conventional 4-1/2" storefront framing systems. The 3-in-1 series includes the non-thermal Trifab® 601, the single thermal break Trifab® 601T and the dual thermal break Trifab® 601UT. The greater system depth combined with three thermal performance options make this one of the most versatile framing systems available.

Rail system

The Frameless Hardware Company launched its FHC Advance Series Herc-Door Frameless Door Rail System for glass entrances, which features a unitizing gasket that eliminates the need to manually hold the clamping jaws open and prevents components from falling out of the door rail while affixing to the glass panel. The dual-inclined bearing surface controls angularity, ensuring proper centering, evenly distributed clamping pressure and superior service life in harsh environments.
