Kawneer IR 501T / 501UT Storefront Systems
Key Features Include:
Impact-Resistant: Complies with both large and small missile impact standards, which means it can endure flying debris during storms and resist forced entry.
Thermally Broken: Both versions enhance energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer. The 501UT offers enhanced thermal performance (UT = Ultra Thermal).
Ideal for Ground-Level Use: Engineered for storefronts and entrances in high-traffic environments such as hospitals, schools, and public facilities.
Dry Glazed or Wet Glazed Options: For flexibility in installation.
Customizable: Capable of supporting various glass thicknesses and accommodating different aesthetic preferences.
We used Kawneer’s IR 501T / 501UT for South Shore University Hospital because it offers strength and security in high-use entry points, it contributes to energy efficiency and noise reduction, and it’s designed to blend safety with clean, professional aesthetics.
