FS-300 Impact Front Glazed Storefront System

The FS-300 Series represents a significant advancement in storefront technology, developed through a collaborative effort between architects, engineers, and glaziers. This patent-pending system is designed to outperform competitors by offering superior design pressures, simplified assembly, and the ability to accommodate significantly larger glass panels. Ideally suited for coastal environments, it provides a high-performance solution that balances aesthetic appeal with robust hurricane protection.

Key Performance Features
