Doors and Frames

They provide security and privacy, as well as aesthetic appeal. When selecting doors and frames, it is important to consider the style of the building, the size of the opening, and the door material.

Specialty Doors and Frames

Designed and manufactured to meet the needs of specific areas and are tested to meet the applicable codes and standards for impact resistance, acoustics or ballistics.

Entrances, Storefronts, and Curtain Walls

Entrances provide access to the building, while storefronts and curtain walls can be used to add visual interest and provide a barrier against the elements.

Windows

They are typically composed of frames, panes of glass, hardware, and seals. Windows may be used for light, ventilation, insulation, and even aesthetics.

Roof Windows and Skylights

They allow natural light to enter the building, reduce the need for electric lighting and can provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The most common types of roof windows and skylights are fixed, operable, tubular, and solar tubes.

Hardware

Specialized construction hardware items such as security screws, special fasteners, and weatherproofing products are used to ensure a secure, safe, and weather-resistant construction project.

Glazing

Glazing can provide a variety of benefits, such as increased natural light, improved energy efficiency, and improved occupant comfort. It can also be used as an architectural feature to enhance the design of a building or structure.

Louvers and Vents

Louvers are slatted panels used to cover openings, often used to regulate air flow. Vents are a type of louver that has a flap or damper to allow air flow to be controlled.
