Impact-Resistant Windows
Our impact-resistant windows are engineered to meet Florida's stringent hurricane codes, offering protection against windborne debris. These systems combine reinforced aluminum frames with laminated glass to withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Available in casement, project-out, and single-hung configurations, they provide commercial buildings with both safety and energy efficiency through optional low-E coatings and thermal breaks.
Curtain Wall Systems
Sun Metals' curtain wall systems deliver structural integrity and modern aesthetics for high-rise buildings. The Series 700 system accommodates diverse architectural designs while maintaining air and water resistance. Engineered for rapid installation, these unitized systems reduce construction timelines and feature integrated thermal breaks to minimize energy loss. They meet rigorous performance standards for wind load, seismic movement, and thermal cycling in demanding environments.
Thermal Window Systems
Our thermally broken window systems achieve U-values approaching 1.0, significantly reducing heat transfer. The Series 300 and 400 product lines incorporate polyamide insulating strips to separate interior and exterior aluminum components, preventing thermal bridging. These windows combine hurricane resistance with energy performance, featuring optional solar-control glass coatings that reduce cooling costs while maintaining natural light transmission for commercial spaces.
Specialty Glazing
We offer specialized glazing solutions including blast-resistant systems, bullet-resistant glazing, and acoustic barriers. Our aluminum and glass handrails meet safety and design requirements for commercial interiors and exteriors. These systems undergo rigorous testing to meet specific performance criteria while maintaining visual appeal. Custom configurations ensure compatibility with unique architectural designs and security requirements for government, healthcare, and high-risk facilities.
Custom Engineering
Our engineering team develops customized glazing systems for complex architectural challenges. From curved curtain walls to specialized blast protection, we create solutions that integrate with existing building systems while meeting code requirements. The process includes structural analysis, thermal modeling, and prototype testing to ensure performance. This service supports unique projects requiring non-standard dimensions, enhanced security features, or specialized material combinations beyond our standard product offerings.
