Connecticut Commercial Glass And Aluminum Systems
Storefront Framing, Insulated Glass and Secure Entry Doors for Connecticut Offices, Healthcare, Retail, Lab and Campus Projects
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 Connecticut weather, site access and inspection timing to keep work moving on downtown renovations, medical and lab work, office fit outs and regional commercial projects.

Products Engineered for Connecticut’s Climate and Codes
Insulated And Low E Glass Units For Connecticut Storefronts And Facades
- Low E insulated glass units that help reduce winter heat loss and summer heat gain while keeping daylight in Connecticut offices, schools and lab corridors
- Coatings selected to reflect infrared and UV energy, helping cut solar gain and reduce fading on floors, furnishings and sensitive interior finishes compared to clear glass
- Built from common thicknesses such as 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch, then assembled into 1 inch IG units that drop into commercial storefront and curtainwall framing used across the state
- Larger sheet sizes support tall lobby and streetfront openings in Stamford, Hartford and New Haven without over segmenting the glass
- Certifications: IG performance to ASTM E2190, flat glass quality to ASTM C1036, tempered glass to ASTM C1048, Low E coatings to ASTM C1376 and laminated lites to ASTM C1172 where used
Thermally Broken Storefront Systems For Connecticut Street Level Projects
- 250DT and 251DT thermally broken aluminum storefront frames, 2 inch by 4 1/2 inch profiles in 1 inch center glazed (250DT) and 1 inch offset glazed (251DT) series for Connecticut office, healthcare, lab and retail work
- Pour and debridge thermal break helps lower conductive heat through the frame, improving perimeter comfort in four season climates from the coast to inland corridors
- Supplied in clear and dark bronze anodized finishes with paint options where corporate, institutional or campus color standards apply
- Often paired with insulated and laminated glass at ground floors to balance energy, noise and security in downtown streets, medical districts and mixed use projects
- Certifications: typically tested to ASTM E283 (air leakage), ASTM E330 (structural) and ASTM E547 / E331 (water), glass sized per ASTM E1300 and, when paired with impact glazing, can be tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996
Battle Doors And Security Entrance Systems For Connecticut Financial And Public Buildings
- Security focused Battle Doors for Connecticut banks, schools, courthouses, government offices and lab support buildings where impact, abuse and forced entry resistance are priorities
- Thermally broken aluminum frames and door leaves designed to carry 1 inch laminated security or impact glass at primary entries, security vestibules and control points
- Larger door sizes and heavier hardware packages allow tall, wide openings typical of civic, institutional and research facilities without reducing strength at the opening
- Integrates with access control, panic hardware and closer packages so secure entrances still move smoothly for daily staff traffic and code required egress
- Certifications: impact and cyclic pressure to ASTM E1886 and E1996 on appropriate glazing configurations, laminated glass to ASTM C1172 and structural design to ASTM E330
Sunny Lux Thermally Broken Aluminum Doors For Connecticut Entries And Lobbies
- Slim vertical stiles around 2 1/8 inch with a thermally broken aluminum leaf near 2 7/8 inch thick, suited to clean, modern entries at Connecticut offices, clinics and campus buildings
- Thermal break separates interior and exterior aluminum to reduce heat transfer and help limit condensation where heated or cooled interiors meet cold winters and humid summers
- Accepts 1 1/8 inch insulated glass, including Low E, tinted or laminated options, so entrance doors can support comfort, privacy and security in one package
- Available with closer, lock and access control hardware options scaled for high cycle use on main and side entries along busy sidewalks and internal courtyards
- 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
Accordion Aluminum Bifold Door Systems For Connecticut Restaurants And Waterfront Projects
- Aluminum accordion bifold door systems that open patios, terraces and rooftop spaces at Connecticut restaurants, taprooms and waterfront venues, then close tight during off hours or bad weather
- Thermally broken panels and frames support better comfort when interior dining or amenity spaces open to coastal air along Long Island Sound or milder inland conditions
- Can be glazed with tempered or laminated glass in 1/4, 1/2 and 9/16 inch thicknesses, as well as 1 1/8 inch insulated glass units where higher thermal or acoustic performance is needed near rail lines and highways
- Panel configurations can stack to one side or bi part, giving flexibility for different wall lengths, corner conditions and traffic patterns in tight urban parcels
- 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
Glass Door Panic Devices And Hardware Packages For Connecticut Egress Doors
- Panic hardware solutions for all glass, full framed and aluminum egress doors at Connecticut schools, universities, labs, arenas, worship facilities and office buildings
- Works with typical all glass doors from about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, full framed clad doors from roughly 1/4 to 1 1/4 inch and aluminum doors from about 1/4 to 1 inch
- Tubular panic devices with slim sightlines keep glass as the visual focus while providing required latching, dogging and exit functions for life safety paths
- Shipped as coordinated packages with rails, devices and related hardware so inspection sensitive exits arrive complete rather than pieced together from multiple sources
- Certifications: devices listed to UL 305 and aligned with ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 for high cycle commercial use, intended for doors in paths of egress under NFPA 101, glass compatibility with ASTM C1048, C1172 and IG units to ASTM E2190

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
Do you support projects outside Stamford, New Haven and Hartford?
Yes. PRL works with large metros, mid sized cities and small towns throughout Connecticut. We group storefronts, doors, glass and hardware into labeled crates and move everything through regional carriers. That way coastal and inland jobs both get fast delivery and complete packages that are easier to unload, stage and install.
What systems handle Connecticut winters, summer humidity and coastal conditions 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. Along the shoreline or in higher risk areas, 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 Connecticut contractors and glazing crews.
How do you approach school, civic and lab 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, labs and key corridors. For Connecticut schools, campuses, civic buildings and research facilities, 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.
