Pennsylvania Commercial Glass and Aluminum Systems
Storefront Framing, Insulated Glass and Secure Entry Doors ffor Pennsylvania Offices, Healthcare, Retail, Industrial and Logistics Projects
PRL Glass Systems, Inc. supports architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout Pennsylvania. From Philadelphia and its suburbs to Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Scranton and smaller towns in between, we help teams choose glass and aluminum systems that suit cold winters, warm summers, older downtown streets, manufacturing corridors and new logistics parks. 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 or 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 Pennsylvania weather, site access and inspection timing to keep work moving on urban infill, campus jobs and regional commercial, industrial and distribution projects.

Products Engineered for Pennsylvania’s Climate and Codes
Insulated And Low E Glass Units For Pennsylvania Storefronts And Facades
- Solar control Low E glass that helps limit heat loss in winter and reduce heat gain in summer while keeping generous daylight in Pennsylvania offices, schools, logistics offices and production areas
- Coatings tuned to reflect infrared and UV energy, helping manage comfort and reduce fading on floors, furnishings and displays compared to clear glass in dock offices and street facing retail
- Stocked in common architectural thicknesses such as 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch, then assembled into 1 inch IG units that drop cleanly into commercial storefront, entrance and industrial window framing
- Larger sheet sizes support tall lobby and storefront openings in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and major distribution hubs without breaking every elevation into many small lites
- 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 Pennsylvania Street Level Projects
- 250DT and 251DT thermally broken aluminum storefront frames, 2 inch by 4 1/2 inch sections in 1 inch center glazed (250DT) and 1 inch offset glazed (251DT) series for Pennsylvania office, healthcare, campus, warehouse and logistics work
- Pour and debridge thermal break helps reduce conductive heat through the frame, improving perimeter comfort in both heating and cooling seasons along loading docks, corridors and exterior office bands
- Stock lengths typically around 24 feet in clear and dark bronze anodized finishes, with painted options where branded or custom colors are required for corporate, retail or industrial campuses
- Commonly paired with insulated or laminated glass at ground floors to manage energy, sound and security in older downtown cores, modern distribution centers and manufacturing facilities
- 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
Accordion Aluminum Bifold Door Systems For Pennsylvania Restaurants, Breweries And Gathering Spaces
- Aluminum accordion bifold door systems that open patios, terraces and rooftop spaces at Pennsylvania restaurants, taprooms, food halls and amenity decks, then close tight during cold weather or off hours
- Thermally broken panels and frames support better energy performance where interior spaces periodically open to exterior air in spring, summer and fall seasons
- 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 corridors, freeways or industrial zones
- Panel design typically supports widths in the roughly 24 to 42 inch range, heights up to about 120 inches and panel weights near 220 pounds, giving flexibility for wide façades without excessive supporting steel
- 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
Sunny Lux Thermally Broken Aluminum Doors For Pennsylvania Entries And Lobbies
- Slim vertical stiles around 2 1/8 inch with a thermally broken aluminum door leaf near 2 7/8 inch thick, suited to clean, modern entrances at Pennsylvania offices, clinics, logistics offices and campus buildings
- Thermal break separates interior and exterior aluminum to lower heat transfer and help reduce condensation at door frames during cold winters and humid summers at high traffic entrances
- Accepts 1 1/8 inch insulated glass, including Low E, tinted or laminated makeups, so entrance doors can support comfort, privacy and security in a single package at both front doors and side employee entries
- Offered with hardware options such as pivots or hinges, closers and locksets scaled for high cycle commercial and industrial entries near loading docks and truck courts
- Certifications: tested to AAMA 1503 style thermal performance 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
Battle Doors And Security Entrance Systems For Pennsylvania Financial, Public And Industrial Buildings

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
Do you support projects outside Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown?
Yes. PRL works with large metros, mid sized cities and small towns throughout Pennsylvania. We group storefronts, doors, glass and hardware into labeled crates and move everything through regional carriers. That way distribution hubs, industrial parks and downtown jobs all get fast delivery and complete packages that are easier to unload, stage and install.
What systems handle Pennsylvania winters, summer heat and industrial 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 downtown, industrial or higher risk 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 Pennsylvania contractors and glazing crews working on warehouses, plants and commercial buildings.
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 Pennsylvania schools, campuses, civic buildings 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.
