A leader in the commercial façades manufacturing industry, YKK AP America Inc. (YKK AP) introduces the YHS 50 FS/FI impact-resistant and blast mitigation storefront system to the popular ProTek product line. The YHS 50 FS/FI offers architects a storefront solution for installations that normally would require curtain wall. A key benefit of the YHS 50 FS/FI storefront is that it is inside-glazed, allowing architects to specify a storefront in areas that would typically be restricted due to glazing requirements, including muddy jobsites or upper floors of a building.
Additionally, the YHS 50 FS/FI storefront provides a structurally sound exterior for hurricane-prone market segments, integrating tested and approved hinging and locking hardware into its entries. For projects where the design pressure is 50 pounds per square foot (PSF) or less, the YHS 50 FS/FI is value-engineered to reduce parts and pieces, lowering installation costs. When a project requires extended height and durability, the YHS 50 spans up to 12 feet and withstands pressure up to 90 PSF.
