Services
Curtain Wall
Our curtain wall systems combine aesthetic versatility with structural resilience, designed to withstand extreme weather and seismic activity. Engineered for thermal efficiency and acoustic performance, they enhance building energy savings while offering customizable designs. Ideal for commercial and high-rise projects requiring durable, visually striking exteriors.
Hurricane Resistant Products
Engineered to meet stringent hurricane codes, these products ensure building safety in coastal regions. Tested for windborne debris impact and water infiltration resistance, they maintain structural integrity during extreme storms. Designed for seamless integration with other Kawneer systems while preserving architectural aesthetics.
Sun Control
Customizable sun control solutions reduce heat gain and glare while enhancing energy efficiency. Available in louvered, brise-soleil, and perforated panel designs, they optimize natural light without compromising thermal performance. Suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects seeking sustainable climate control.
High Thermal Performance Technology
Advanced thermal break technology minimizes heat transfer, maintaining interior comfort while reducing HVAC demands. Certified for ultra-low U-factors, these systems meet Passive House and net-zero energy standards. Designed for climates requiring extreme temperature regulation without sacrificing structural durability.
Storefront Framing
Durable storefront systems provide secure, visually appealing facades for retail and office spaces.
