Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
Which glass and door systems work best for Alaska’s extreme cold and wind?
For most Alaska projects we combine thermally broken storefront systems with insulated and Low E glass, then use Battle Doors or Sunny Lux doors at key entries. This supports energy performance, comfort near the glass and better control of drafts.
How do lead times and shipping work when materials are going to Alaska?
PRL provides fast nationwide delivery to Alaska, with planning focused on barge, air and highway schedules. We bundle storefronts, doors, glass and hardware into organized crates so fewer shipments are needed, then share timing up front so you can align deliveries with labor, weather windows and site access.
What products make the most sense for schools and public buildings in this region?
For schools, municipal buildings and clinics, we often pair thermally broken storefronts with insulated and laminated glass, Battle Doors at higher risk entries and panic hardware packages at required exits. This mix supports safety, security and comfort in cold conditions, with concise drawings and spec sheets available to help with local approvals.
