Indiana Glass and Aluminum Systems
Glass, Storefront and Aluminum Door Systems for Indiana Commercial, Industrial and Campus Projects
PRL Glass Systems, Inc. supports architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout Indiana. From Indianapolis and the Suburban North to Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend and smaller river and highway towns, we help teams pick glass and aluminum systems that fit local conditions, winter snow and ice, spring storms, humid summers and lake effect wind in the north. The focus is on storefronts and entries that look clean, perform well and install without drama.
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 Indiana weather, site access and inspection timing so installs move more smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
How do you handle school and public safety projects in this region?
We often combine thermally broken storefronts with insulated and laminated glass, then use Battle Doors or other security focused entrances at main doors and office zones. We coordinate glass thickness, hardware and framing early so drawings stay clear and the final package supports daily traffic and stronger access control.
What glass and storefront systems work best for Indiana’s winters and humid summers?
Most Indiana projects start with thermally broken storefront framing and insulated Low E glass on main elevations, then add Sunny Lux or security focused entrance doors at key openings. That mix helps manage drafts, heat gain and street level exposure while keeping details practical for local contractors.
Do you supply projects outside Indianapolis and the larger metros?
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.
