RESISTOR 3400 STOREFRONT SERIES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solutions Resistor Series:

Resistor 3400 Impact/Non-Thermal Storefront
Resistor 3410 Impact/Single-Thermal Storefront
Resistor 3420 Impact/Double-Thermal Storefront

Engineered, designed, and tested in accordance with the demanding standards of Miami-Dade's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) TAS Protocols and the Florida Building Code (FBC). The 1-3/4″ x 4-1/2″ (6" optional available) system features screw spline assembly and is designed to permit sections to be pre-assembled and glazed to greatly reduce field labor. The 3400 Series is glazed with 1-5/16″ laminated, insulated glazing infill. An optional 1" IGU (3450) for non-impact application is also available. Trulite’s Resistor Entrances are easily integrated into these systems. Trulite has the unique ability to produce and furnish the complete impact-resistant system and glazing, which is an added convenience for the building team. The design of these systems has become the standard for storefront systems in high-velocity hurricane zone projects.
