Energy-efficiency is critical for storefronts that see constant foot traffic and utilize large openings to showcase products.
At Optimum Window, we know that the right thermally broken steel windows and doors can revolutionize energy savings and create a more comfortable space.
What Makes Thermally Broken Steel Stand Out?
Thermally broken steel is engineered to reduce thermal transfer between the interior and exterior, a game-changer for commercial properties.
By incorporating an insulating material between steel layers, these windows and doors prevent heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, significantly improving energy efficiency.
Our thermally broken steel solutions, like the RTS430 series, offer superior durability and aesthetic flexibility, all while meeting the strictest energy codes. According to our specs:
- U-values as low as 0.19, rivaling high-performance wood windows.
- Tested for air, water, and structural performance to surpass industry standards.
The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Storefronts
A well-designed storefront is more than just a façade—it’s a dynamic, energy-saving asset. Here’s why thermally broken steel storefronts are indispensable:
- Energy Savings: Lower heating and cooling costs with better insulation.
- Comfort: Maintain a stable indoor climate, essential for customer satisfaction.
- Sustainability: Steel is recyclable, aligning with green building standards.
- Durability: Steel resists warping, cracking, and deterioration over time.
