Dedicated To Craftsmanship In Every Installation
Russett Glazing supplies and installs a complete line of architectural glazing systems. Every product on this page is selected for the same reason: it performs under real conditions, integrates cleanly with the rest of the building envelope, and gives architects and contractors the finishes and configurations they actually need to specify. From flush-glazed interior framing to thermally broken curtain walls and entrance doors, the systems below are built to balance long-term durability, thermal performance, and design flexibility on projects of any scale.
FRAMES
1450 Series
Interior Flush Glaze Framing System
A 1¾″ x 4½″ interior flush glaze framing system suited to a wide range of commercial interior partitions and glazed walls. The 1450 accepts both ¼″ (6mm) and ⅜″ (10mm) glazing and uses EPDM wedge gaskets to hold each lite securely.
Configuration options: add a 4½″ x 4½″ 90-degree corner post or a 4½″ x 4½″ high base sill where the layout calls for it. Compatible with standard swing door systems for a unified look.
Finishes: stocked in clear, bronze, and black anodized. Optional finishes include light bronze, medium bronze, champagne anodized, and powder or liquid paint.
1451 Series
Thermally Broken Flush Glazed Storefront
A 2″ x 4½″ thermally broken storefront engineered around a 6.6 polyamide glass fiber thermal break, delivering strong U-value performance for commercial and mixed-use exteriors. Built primarily for 1″ sealed insulating glass, with pocket-reducing adaptors available for ¼″, ⅜″, and ½″ glazing.
Performance details: a sloped glazing bead sheds water away from the glass pocket, while end dams and an integrated sill gutter direct moisture to weep holes for reliable drainage. The 4½″ x 4½″ 90-degree corner post provides clean, square sightlines.
Finishes: clear, bronze, and black anodized stocked. Light bronze, medium bronze, champagne anodized, and custom paint optional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the difference between the 5100 and 5200 curtain wall systems, and when should I spec each?
Both share a 2″ sightline and 3″, 4″, and 5″ mullion depths. The 5100 is non-thermal, suited to storefronts and lower-rise work. Spec the 5200 when energy code or thermal performance drives the design.
Which Russett door series is right for high-traffic commercial entrances: 218, 350, or 500?
The 218 (narrow stile) handles retail and lobby traffic. The 350 (medium stile) suits busier commercial entries needing more rigidity. The 500 (heavy stile) is built for monumental openings: schools, courthouses, transit, and civic buildings.
Are your products made in Canada?
Russett Glazing operates in Canada and supplies projects across the region. For specific manufacturing origin and country-of-fabrication documentation on a given system, contact us directly so we can confirm details for your project’s procurement requirements.
What glazing thicknesses do Russett framing and door systems accept?
Framing systems handle ¼″ (6mm) and ⅜″ (10mm), with the 1451 also taking 1″ sealed IGUs and ½″ via adaptors. All three commercial door series accept ¼″, ⅜″, ½″, and 1″ infill, including IGUs.
What finishes are available on Russett aluminum framing, doors, and curtain walls?
Stock finishes are clear, bronze, and black anodized. Optional finishes include light bronze, medium bronze, and champagne anodized. Framing and doors also support custom powder coat and liquid paint; curtain walls are anodized only.
Does Russett supply only, or supply and install, and what's the project intake process?
Russett supplies and installs. Intake starts with a consultation: share drawings, specs, and project scope, and we return system recommendations and a quote. Book a consultation or request a quote through the site to begin.
Are these glazing systems energy efficient?
Yes, when thermally broken systems are specified. The 1451 storefront, 5200 and 6500 curtain walls, and the 250, 350, and 500 InsulRoll doors use polyamide thermal breaks to reduce heat transfer and support energy code compliance.
Can Russett curtain wall systems integrate with the 218, 350, and 500 commercial doors?
Yes. The 5100, 5200, 6300, and 6500 curtain walls are designed to integrate with all three door series, giving architects continuous sightlines, consistent finishes, and unified hardware detailing across the full façade.
Are Russett's thermally broken systems suitable for Ontario climate and OBC energy code compliance?
Yes. The polyamide thermal breaks in the 1451, 5200, 6500, and InsulRoll doors reduce conductive heat loss and condensation risk, supporting OBC SB-10 envelope performance targets. Final compliance depends on glazing selection and whole-building energy modelling.
