System Description

Vetrina’s non-thermal centerset Storefront Framing Systems for 1⁄4”, 3⁄8”, and 1” glass panes are designed for low-rise applications. Snap-together profiles using integral screw-spline joinery allows for the frames to be pre-assembled in panels resulting in increased productivity and quality control. Perimeter profiles with full-depth pockets eliminate the need for filler plates and provide direct anchoring to the substrate with excellent moisture control.

Features
