Brian Lowe, Chicago Glass Company. Certified Kawneer / Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope dealer with direct factory pricing. We've installed Kawneer on Chipotle, Walgreens, Dick's Sporting Goods, and a few hundred Chicagoland buildouts. In-house fab and install crews.
Kawneer Storefront — Trifab 451, 451T, and Encore
Trifab 451 is the workhorse. 4-1/2" depth, 2" sightline. Center-glazed standard, but you can spec front, back, or SSG. Walgreens spec, Chipotle spec. Pre-glaze option, hurricane resistant, blast mitigation on the 451T.
Trifab 451T is the same system with thermal break. You need this for any energy-code retail or office buildout north of Texas.
Encore is the economy line. Same Kawneer build quality, lighter spec, lower price. Decent for low-rise where thermal isn't critical.
Also available: GlassVent operable windows integrated into the framing, and Kawneer VSL sun-shading outriggers.
Lead time: depends on glass, finish, and quantity. Send elevation drawings or a sketch — quote in 24 hours.
FAQ
Q: How do I get a price?
A: Every project is quoted to spec. The $500 deposit reserves your spot and is credited in full to your final invoice, fully refundable if you don't move forward. Call (708) 800-7120 or use the 60-second quote form and most quotes go out same day.
Q: Trifab 451 vs 451T vs Encore?
A: 451 is the standard non-thermal workhorse — Walgreens and Chipotle spec. 451T adds a thermal break for energy code compliance north of Texas. Encore is the budget line — same Kawneer build, lighter spec.
Q: Walgreens / Chipotle spec compatible?
A: Yes. We've installed Kawneer storefronts on Walgreens, Chipotle, Dick's Sporting Goods, and hundreds of Chicagoland buildouts.
Q: Can you integrate GlassVent operable windows?
A: Yes — GlassVent units drop into the existing Trifab framing where a fixed lite would go. Manual or motorized.
Q: Lead time?
A: Depends on glazing and finish. Send elevation drawings, quote in 24 hours with a committed date.
