Louisiana Glass and Aluminum Systems

Glass, Storefront and Aluminum Door Systems for Commercial, Industrial and Campus Projects Across Louisiana

PRL Glass Systems, Inc. works with architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout Louisiana. From New Orleans and Baton Rouge to Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles and smaller Gulf and river towns, we help teams choose glass and aluminum systems that respect local realities like heat, humidity, heavy rain, coastal wind and storm season. Our focus is on giving you storefronts and entries that look clean, perform well and stay practical to install.

With PRL you can plan each opening as a complete package, storefront framing, entrance doors, insulated or laminated glass and security glazing all from one source. We match thermally broken systems, impact or laminated glass and hardware to the project type, then bundle everything into organized crates so crews are not chasing parts in the field. Deliveries are scheduled with Louisiana weather, site access and inspection timing in mind, so installs move more smoothly.

  • Can be paired with impact laminated glass that uses a tough interlayer, about five times stronger and 100 times more rigid than standard PVB, for better security and post breakage stability at ground floor elevations
  • Sold as complete pre glazed storefront packages in clear or dark bronze anodized, powder coat or Kynar finishes, shipped with frames, glass and hardware ready to install

About Louisiana

From downtown New Orleans and Baton Rouge to communities such as Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Houma, and cities across north and south Louisiana, glass and aluminum play a significant role in projects throughout the Pelican State.

At PRL, we provide complete systems for a wide range of Louisiana projects – including office buildings, ports and industrial facilities, schools, medical campuses, retail and restaurant spaces, hospitality properties, and custom homes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Locally Grounded, Regionally Available

What glass and storefront systems make sense for Louisiana’s heat, humidity and hurricanes?

Many Louisiana projects use thermally broken storefront framing with insulated and Low E glass on the main elevations, then upgrade to Sunny Lux or Battle Doors with laminated or impact glass at key entrances. That mix helps manage heat, humidity and storm exposure while keeping framing and glazing details practical for local contractors.

Can you supply Louisiana projects outside the larger cities?

Yes. PRL serves large metros, mid sized cities and small towns alike. We bundle storefronts, doors, glass and hardware into organized crates and ship through regional carriers.

How can PRL support coastal, industrial and school projects in this region?

For coastal, industrial and school work, we often combine thermally broken storefronts with insulated and laminated glass, then use Battle Doors or other security focused entrances at key doors. We coordinate glass thickness, hardware and framing early so submittals stay clear and the final package supports everyday traffic, access control and storm or security needs.
