Storefront Systems Built for the Way You Work
ADVERTISEMENT
From education and mixed-use to retail retrofits, the enhanced Series 3000 XT and 6000 XT storefront systems from Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope are engineered for performance-driven projects that demand more -- without requiring more from the installer.
These upgraded thermal storefront systems deliver up to 25% better thermal performance over standard double-glazed storefronts, achieving U-factors as low as 0.20 using thin triple IGUs -- all while maintaining a standard 1" glazing pocket.
With familiar center-set glazing, shear block or screw spline assembly, and a high-performance sill receptor, they install like the systems you already know. Available in two depths to fit project needs, the 3000XT (2" x 4-1/2") and 6000XT (2" x 6") offer a smarter path to meeting today’s energy codes -- with no extra steps on the jobsite.

Flood barrier glazing system
Crawford-Tracey Corporation's Pro-Tech Flood Barrier system includes the Pro-Tech 7SG FB and Pro-Tech 9SG FB, which meets the increasing demand for property protection and evolving building code requirements. It is a unitized structurally glazed curtain wall and storefront system that has a water-resistant rating of 100 PSF and has now been tested and approved by FM Approvals per the ANSI/FM 2510 testing standard as a flood rated passive glazing system for opening barrier applications. The Pro-Tech 7SG FB is a structurally glazed 7-inch profile curtain wall and storefront system, and the Pro-Tech 9SG FB is a similar glazing system with a 9-inch profile to meet taller spans and withstand higher wind and flood loads.
Key features:
- FM Approved and certified per ANSI/FM 2510, Flood Abatement Standard
- Hurricane impact-rated system with a static wind pressure water-resistance rating of 100 PSF, the industry's highest rating, and is now currently approved to resist 4 feet and 7 feet of flood water with floating debris impact.
- Maintains a clear view and aesthetic, without a bulky surrounding framework, while effectively safeguarding against flood events 24/7.
- Capable of withstanding winds exceeding 195 mph with approval by Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida for hurricane-impact resistance.
- Meets the requirements for both large missile impact and small missile impact applications.
- Competitive price when compared to other flood barrier curtain wall systems.

Commercial entrance system
The Entice HP+ Entrance System by CRL is engineered to perform in year-round weather conditions. The system features a full perimeter seal around doors, structural enhancements, and thermally broken components with 1-inch insulating glass. This delivers superior thermal and wind load performance, as well as improved air infiltration resistance. The new system has also been tested to 1,000,000 cycles, twice the industry standard, to ensure lasting durability.
Entice HP+ entrance doors are designed to seamlessly install into glass curtain walls and other types of facades. The system features ultra-narrow 1-5/8-inch door stiles to produce a heavy glass-door visual. 10-foot-tall and 4-foot-wide doors can be specified to create expansive glass spans. Door handle hardware, including Blumcraft tubular panic devices, mounts directly onto insulating glass units to enhance the system’s design.
