Wisconsin Glass and Aluminum Systems
Glass, Storefront and Aluminum Door Systems for Wisconsin Commercial, Industrial and Campus Projects
PRL Glass Systems, Inc. supports architects, designers, builders, contractors and glazing professionals on projects throughout Wisconsin. From Milwaukee and Madison to Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine and smaller lake and highway towns, we help teams select Wisconsin glass and aluminum systems that match real conditions, long winters, snow and ice, lake effect wind and bright summer days. The focus is on storefronts and entries that look clean, perform well and stay straightforward to install.
With PRL you can treat each opening as a complete package, storefront framing, entrance doors, insulated or laminated glass and security glazing from one source instead of several. We match thermally broken systems, glass makeups and hardware to the project type, then bundle everything into organized crates so crews are not chasing loose parts in winter weather. Deliveries are scheduled with Wisconsin conditions, site access and inspection timing in mind, so installs move more smoothly.

Thermally Broken Storefront Systems For Wisconsin Cold Climate Projects
- 250DT and 251DT thermally broken aluminum storefront frames, 2 inch by 4 1/2 inch center or offset glazed, sized for 1 inch glass on Wisconsin offices, schools and retail fronts
- Pour and debridge thermal break in the frame helps cut heat transfer, support better energy efficiency and stay stable through repeated freeze and thaw cycles
- Works with insulated and laminated glass so you can address comfort, winter wind and security at the same elevation
- Offered in clear and dark bronze anodized and durable painted finishes, shipped as coordinated packages with frames, doors, glass and basic hardware
Sunny Lux Thermally Broken Aluminum Doors For Wisconsin Entries And Lobbies
- Ultra slim 2 1/8 inch vertical stiles with a 2 7/8 inch thermally broken door leaf for a clean look and better energy performance at main entries
- Tested for air, water and structural performance, with low air leakage, water penetration around typical commercial test pressures and uniform load testing near 30 psf positive and negative
- Works with 1 1/8 inch insulated Low E and laminated glass, a strong fit for cold climate entries where comfort and security both matter
- 4 point locking and about 1/4 inch of jamb adjustment on each side so installers can dial in a tight, smooth swing without rebuilding
Accordion Bifold Door Systems For Wisconsin Restaurants And Seasonal Spaces
- Exterior aluminum accordion bifold doors that open restaurants, taprooms and event spaces to patios during Wisconsin’s warmer months
- Thermally broken doors and frames for better energy efficiency and the option to use different finishes inside and out on higher end hospitality projects
- Can be glazed with tempered or laminated glass in 1/4, 1/2 and 9/16 inch thicknesses or 1 1/8 inch insulated units for maximum energy efficiency
- Panels stack to the side to create a fully unobstructed opening, with complete door systems and hardware packages shipped together for smoother installs
Insulated And Low E Glass Units For Wisconsin Storefronts And Facades
- Solar control Low E glass that cuts heat transfer while still letting in plenty of natural light, a good fit for long Wisconsin heating seasons
- Hard and soft coat options that reflect infrared and UV energy, helping reduce heat loss in winter and limit interior fading compared to clear glass
- Available as part of insulated glass unit combos, where Low E in the IG stack pushes performance higher than standard double pane glass
- Stocked in common architectural thicknesses like 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch, then built into 1 inch IG units that drop cleanly into commercial storefront framing
- Large sheet sizes, up to roughly 84 by 184 inches and beyond, support taller Wisconsin lobbies and storefronts without breaking every opening into small lites
Battle Doors And Security Entrance Systems For Wisconsin Schools And Public Buildings
- Security focused entrance doors for schools, clinics, municipal buildings and higher risk urban entries across Wisconsin
- Heavy duty, thermally broken aluminum doors designed to carry 1 inch insulated laminated security or impact glass at main entrances
- Impact resistant glazing tested to major impact and cyclic pressure standards so glass stays bonded to the interlayer under abuse and wind loads
- Supplied as complete door, frame, glass and hardware packages so critical openings stay on one coordinated order and delivery schedule
Glass Door Panic Devices And Hardware Packages For Wisconsin Egress Doors
- Panic hardware for all glass, full framed clad and aluminum doors on schools, churches, arenas and office buildings across Wisconsin
- Works with multiple door stiles, from ultra narrow to wide aluminum and clad doors built from 6063 T5 aluminum with reinforced corners and standard 10 inch bottom rails for egress and accessibility
- Compatible with a wide range of glass builds, from 1/4 inch to 1 inch glass in aluminum doors and 1/2 to 3/4 inch in all glass doors, including tempered, laminated, Low E IG, sound control and higher strength interlayer options
- Shipped as part of complete door, rail and hardware packages so required exits arrive coordinated and ready to hang instead of pieced together from multiple vendors

Frequently Asked Questions:
Locally Grounded, Regionally Available
How do your systems handle snow, ice and deicing chemicals at busy entries?
We focus on durable aluminum storefronts and entrance doors with finishes and hardware suited to heavy traffic, winter mats and snow clearing at the threshold. When needed, we match those frames with insulated and laminated glass that sits high enough in the opening to stay out of the worst slush and salt, while still keeping plenty of daylight at the door.
Can you support projects outside Milwaukee 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.
What glass and storefront systems work best for Wisconsin’s long winters and lake effect conditions?
Most Wisconsin projects start with thermally broken storefront framing and insulated Low E glass on the main elevations, then add Sunny Lux or security focused entrance doors at key openings. That mix helps manage drafts, cold glass and wind at ground level while keeping framing and glazing details practical for local contractors.
