From high-traffic storefront entrances to thermally broken curtain wall assemblies, Tubelite aluminum systems are specified by architects and trusted by glazing contractors across North America.
Every Tubelite system is engineered to exacting tolerances — from narrow-profile storefronts to thermally broken curtain wall assemblies rated for high-wind zones.
Heavy-duty pivot and swing doors engineered for high-traffic commercial entry.
Factory-assembled curtain wall units with thermal break and pressure-equalized drainage.
Polyamide thermal break construction meeting ENERGY STAR® commercial requirements.
Slimline 1-3/4" face dimension storefront for maximum daylighting with structural integrity.
Engineered pivots, closers, and weatherstrip components matched to Tubelite door series.
Mullions, transoms, sills, and receptor systems precision-extruded to match Tubelite systems.
EPDM and pile weatherstrip meeting AAMA 711 air infiltration standards for all Tubelite door series.
Tubelite sources aluminum with an average of 73% post-consumer recycled content — far exceeding industry norms. Our extrusions are manufactured using renewable-heavy grid power and returned scrap aluminum is 100% recirculated into new production, creating a near-closed-loop material cycle.
Tubelite products are engineered to meet the specific performance, aesthetic, and code requirements of each commercial market segment.
We specified Tubelite's curtain wall on a 12-story healthcare tower. The thermal performance data was immediately available, shop drawings came back clean the first time, and the field installation crew had zero fitting issues. That's the kind of supplier relationship we can build projects around.
We've used Tubelite storefront systems on 37 retail renovations over the past six years. The color chart accuracy is exceptional — the Champagne anodized we ordered for a flagship store matched the architect's sample perfectly, which almost never happens at this price point. The weatherstrip longevity has also been notably above average.
The Tubelite 14000 Series installation instructions are the clearest in the industry. Our apprentice installers were up to speed on the sill and jamb receptor details after a single walkthrough. On a 240-unit educational project, that kind of documentation quality translates directly to labor cost savings.
