Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solution’s 3100 Resistor Hurricane Impact Storefront is engineered, designed and tested in accordance with the demanding Standards of Miami-Dade County (NOA) and the Florida Building Code (FBC). The 1-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ systems are available in shear block assembly and are ideal for single span Impact Resistant storefront applications. The 3100 series is glazed with 9/16″ or 1-5/16″ insulating laminated glazing infill. The front set glazed 3100 system can use 9/16″ laminated glass as well, and are both interior glazed. Trulite’s 351 Impact Resistant entrances are easily integrated into these systems. Trulite has the unique ability to produce and furnish the complete impact resistant system and glazing, which is an added convenience for the building team. The design of these systems has become the standard for storefront systems in high velocity hurricane zones.
