Tennessee Architectural Glass And Aluminum Systems
Storefront Framing, Insulated Glass and Secure Entry Doors for Tennessee Offices, Healthcare, Retail and Campus Projects
PRL Glass Systems, Inc. supports architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout Tennessee. From Nashville and Memphis to Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville and growing corridor towns, we help teams choose systems that fit real conditions, humid summers, storm season, strong wind and occasional winter cold snaps. The focus is on storefronts and entries that look clean, perform well and install with ease.
With PRL you can plan each opening as a complete package, storefront framing, entrance doors, insulated or laminated glass and security glazing from one source. We match thermally broken systems, glass makeups and hardware to the project, then bundle everything into organized crates so crews are not chasing parts. Deliveries are scheduled around Tennessee weather, site access and inspection timing so installs move more smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
Do you support projects outside Nashville and Memphis?
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.
What systems work best for Tennessee humidity and storm season?
Most projects start with thermally broken storefront framing and insulated Low E glass on main elevations, then use Sunny Lux or security focused entrance doors at key openings. That mix helps manage heat gain, humidity and street level exposure while keeping details practical for local contractors.
How do you approach school and public safety projects in this region?
We combine thermally broken storefronts with insulated and laminated glass, then use Battle Doors or other security focused entrances at main doors and office areas. We coordinate glass thickness, hardware and framing early so drawings stay clear and the final package supports daily traffic and access control.
