Kawneer has introduced several new systems, including the IR 521 storefront framing system, the KWD92 UT+ window, and the 1600UT SS curtain wall system. These systems are designed to improve energy efficiency, thermal performance, and safety.
The IR 521/521T/521UT Storefront Framing System leads the way for protection, aesthetics and thermal performance. Our first ever pre-glazed impact-rated storefront system combines thinner sightlines and ultra-thermal capabilities with Missile Level D and Level E impact protection and offers incredible installation versatility using pre-glazed framing members. It is designed and engineered for single-span storefronts, low- to mid-rise ribbon windows and punched opening applications.
The system is available pre-glazed, either inside or outside glazed, to meet a diverse range of project requirements and is hurricane impact-tested against windborne debris with Florida Product Approval (FPA) and Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) evaluation, demonstrating superior protection and the ability to enhance the long-term value and provide occupant safety.
