West Virginia Commercial Glass and Aluminum Systems
Storefront Framing, Insulated Glass and Secure Entry Doors for West Virginia Offices, Healthcare, Retail, Industrial and Campus Projects
PRL Glass Systems, Inc. supports architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout West Virginia. From Charleston and Huntington to Morgantown, Parkersburg, Wheeling, Martinsburg and smaller Appalachian towns, we help teams choose glass and aluminum systems that suit cold winters, humid summers, hilly sites and industrial corridors. The goal is storefronts and entries that look clean, perform well and install efficiently.
With PRL you can plan each opening as a complete package: framing, doors, glass, and security glazing all from one source. We match thermally broken and impact capable systems, glass makeups and hardware to the project, then bundle everything into organized crates so crews are not chasing parts. Deliveries are scheduled around West Virginia weather, mountain access, truck routes and inspection timing to keep work moving.

- Slim vertical stiles around 2 1/8 inch with a thermally broken aluminum leaf near 2 7/8 inch thick, giving a clean, modern look at main entries in West Virginia offices, clinics and university buildings
- Thermal break separates interior and exterior aluminum to reduce heat transfer and help limit condensation at frames when heated interiors meet cold mountain air
- Accepts 1 1/8 inch insulated glass, including Low E, tinted or laminated lites, so designers can combine comfort, privacy and security in one entrance system
- Hardware packages can include pivots or hinges, closers and locksets suited to high cycle doorways at front doors, side employee entries and elevator lobbies
- Certifications: tested to AAMA 1503 style thermal criteria and to ASTM E283 (air leakage), ASTM E547 (water) and ASTM E330 (structural), compatible glass standards include ASTM C1048, C1172 and IG units to ASTM E2190

- Thermally broken panels and frames help manage comfort where interiors periodically open to outdoor air in shoulder seasons and milder days
- Accepts tempered or laminated glass in several thicknesses, plus 1 1/8 inch insulated glass units for higher thermal or acoustic performance near busy highways, stadiums or rail lines
- Panel configurations can be laid out to stack to one side or bi part in the center, giving flexibility for different wall lengths and traffic patterns in tight downtown and hillside sites
- Certifications: impact resistance to ASTM E1996 and missile plus cyclic pressure testing to ASTM E1886 on impact configurations, with glass tested to ASTM C1048, C1172 and IG units to ASTM E2190
Thermally Broken Storefront Systems For West Virginia Street Level Projects
- 250DT and 251DT thermally broken aluminum storefronts and frames, 2 inch by 4 1/2 inch sections in 1 inch center glazed (250DT) and 1 inch offset glazed (251DT) series for West Virginia office, healthcare, campus and industrial projects

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
Do you support projects outside Charleston, Huntington and Morgantown?
Yes. PRL works with large metros, mid sized cities and small towns throughout West Virginia. We group storefronts, doors, glass and hardware into labeled crates and move everything through regional carriers. That way projects in larger corridors and smaller hillside towns both get fast delivery and complete packages that are easier to unload, stage and install.
What systems handle West Virginia winters, summer humidity and street level exposure best?
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. In higher risk or heavier traffic locations, laminated or impact glass is often used at doors and ground floor lites. That mix helps manage heat loss, heat gain, glare and street level exposure while staying practical for West Virginia contractors and glazing crews.
How do you approach school, civic and industrial 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, office areas, plant gates and key corridors. For West Virginia schools, campuses, civic facilities and industrial sites, we coordinate glass thickness, hardware and framing early so drawings stay clear and the final package supports daily traffic, access control and regional safety priorities.
