Vitro America™ Introduces Aluminum Entrances, Storefront and Curtain Wall Systems to its Classic Line™ of Architectural Products
Memphis, Tenn., April 13, 2010 - Vitro America will introduce a comprehensive line of architectural aluminum products designed to complement its full line of architectural glass at the Glass TEXpo™ 2010 conference, April 15 - 16 in San Antonio. As part of its Classic Line™ Architectural Products, Vitro America offers an extensive range of design solutions, all backed by a commitment to superior service and expertise. From storefronts and entrances to curtain wall systems, the company's products afford limitless choices and unmatched quality for every project. www.vitroamerica.com By utilizing the latest in technology and production equipment, Vitro America offers a variety of standard and custom solutions at competitive lead times and prices. Thermally broken systems, as well as screw-spline assembled storefront and curtain wall products, further enhance design and construction flexibility. Impact-resistant systems are planned for availability this summer. The Classic Line™ Series 200, 300 and 500 entrances incorporate a unique corner block construction with an interlocking design, mechanical fasteners and backup plates. This type of door corner construction ensures structural integrity and eliminates the need for welded corners, enabling the glazing contractor to modify the doors quickly by taking them apart and cutting them down to size, as needed. Vitro America backs each entrance door it sells with a limited lifetime warranty. Vitro America's Classic Line™ storefront systems include a specially designed full-height interior leg sill flashing for enhanced protection against water infiltration. The systems also include full-depth pockets that remove the need for flat fillers at the perimeters and allow direct anchor attachment to the substrate, eliminating the blind seal. "Storefront systems are only as good as their ability to prevent water infiltration in the building, so we have designed our systems to address the most common areas of concern," says J.D. Williams, Product Development Manager for Vitro America. To further streamline fabrication and installation of its screw-spline systems, Vitro America offers the TIME FABSAVER™ hydraulic punch press and die sets to contract glaziers. Customers are eligible for a rebate on these items based on purchase volume, or can obtain the die sets separately if they already have their own press. In addition to top-quality products, Vitro America provides the building industry with a number of tools and services to make the job of designing, specifying and installing glazing systems simpler.
