Frequently Asked Questions:

Locally Grounded, Regionally Available

Which glass and door systems work best for Hawaii’s coastal wind and salt air?

We typically pair impact resistant or laminated glass with robust aluminum framing at exposed entries and storefronts, then use finishes suited for coastal environments. For most projects, we help you compare standard and impact rated options so you can balance protection, budget and appearance.

How do lead times and shipping work when materials are going to Hawaii?

PRL provides planning focused on island scheduling and freight coordination. 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, ferries and port schedules.

What products make the most sense for resorts and restaurants with open air layouts?

For open air hospitality spaces, we often use accordion bifold door systems, SunnyLux doors and all glass entrances to connect interior areas with lanais and patios. These systems support wide clear openings, good views and smooth traffic flow, while laminated or impact glass options help address safety, weather exposure and owner requirements.
