Glazed storefronts are the most common curtainwall that Solar Innovations® manufactures. There are numerous available glass options for a curtain wall. Low-e tints are a very practical choice because UV ray penetration is limited. The reduction in UV rays cuts down on fading to furniture, flooring, window treatments, and countertops. This type of glass is also energy efficient and greatly assists in maintaining a constant, comfortable temperature within the space, minimizing energy use. Polycarbonate can also be utilized within the panels to provide a clean line, modern appearance. There are several colors available, in varying thicknesses.
Decorative glazing options are also available. An interior partition may need to block what is in the adjoining room. A money room could be an example of this where privacy is top priority. A specialty glass can be the solution. This glass appears white, and no one can see into the room. Another option is spandrel glass. This type of glass is painted, which blocks all vision. The bottom three feet of the glass can be spandrel and the top be a clear glass. Anything countertop and below is blocked while the upper portion is still visible. A retail shop may need a more visually aesthetic glass. The perfect answer to this need is acid etched glass. This type of glass has patterns etched into its surface such as grass or raindrops. Acid etch glass is often used in interior doors and cabinet fronts.
Decorative items can also be added to the curtain wall. Transom gridwork can be used for architectural interest and allows the glass panels to match the rest of the building or to meet historic township requirements. There are exterior transom grids and interior muntins available. The exterior transom grids can physically be touched, and are a very traditional style. Interior muntins are located between the two panes of glass. These storefronts are very useful for hard to reach places or locations that come into contact with a lot of dirt, such as a floral retail store. Various patterns are available to choose between including a traditional 6 over 3 (or any custom number you would like), radiused, and gothic grids.
After a design is finalized, Solar Innovations, Inc. or one of their national dealers can complete the installation of the storefront for your job. There are also “do-it-yourself” kits available for those who wish to buy factory direct and then complete the storefront installation themselves.
