Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solutions’ CT451 Storefront is engineered to provide simple fabrication, easy assembly and problem free installations in an easy to use, economical flush glazed framing system. The 2″ x 4-1/2″ center glazed thermally broken system is available in a screw spline assembly and is ideal for single span non-thermal storefront applications. The system has options for interior glazing lending itself to the varying needs of our customers. The CT451 can be glazed with 7/8″or 1″ insulated glazing infill. Trulite’s 200, 300 & 500 entrances are easily integrated into this system.
The CT451 Thermal Storefront System is engineered for energy-conscious commercial, institutional, and retail projects where thermal performance and structural integrity are critical:
Retail and office storefronts – Provides a clean, center-glazed look while improving insulation values for lower energy costs.
Schools, municipal, and government buildings – Combines robust structural capacity with thermal efficiency for demanding civic applications.
Healthcare, hospitality, and mixed-use projects – Maintains interior comfort and condensation resistance in high-traffic environments.
New construction and retrofits – Integrates easily with Trulite thermal door systems and accessories for a unified façade solution.
2” × 4-1/2” Center-Glazed Framing – Designed for 1” insulating glass, thermally broken for superior energy performance.
Thermally Broken Design – High-density polyurethane thermal barrier poured and de-bridged to isolate interior and exterior surfaces.
Inside or Outside Glazing Options – Accommodates various installation requirements.
High-Performance Sill Flashing – Enhances water management and system reliability.
Designed for Trulite Thermal Doors – Seamless integration with Trulite’s thermal entrance systems.
Shortest Lead Times in the Industry – Supports fast-paced project schedules.
Premium Finishes – Offered in Architectural Class I/II anodized coatings or AAMA 2604/2605 high-performance organic finishes for long-lasting aesthetics.
Single-Source Compatibility – Works with Trulite curtain walls, entrances, and glazing accessories for a complete building envelope.
