What company made the storefront front door?

12 years ago

Is it Kawneer? EFCO? If so, can you tell me the model? I currently have Kawneer throughout my house and have some condensation issues I'm trying to fix. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. The storefront system is made by YKK. It is available in a 2-piece frame, thermally-broken model that would eliminate the majority of the condensation because the outside temperatures cannot transfer to the interior aluminum - the two sides of the frame are held together by a rubber insulator of sorts. When the system frame is made of a single piece of aluminum that reaches from the outside to inside, condensation is always a problem in winter. I'm pretty sure that EFCO and Kawneer have thermally-broken systems available.
