Installation Support
DIY-friendly: owners and contractors get 1-on-1 factory technical support.
ProSill™ guidance for storefront systems emphasizes the use of heavy-duty continuous thresholds and proper perimeter sealant beads to maintain water tightness at 720 Pa. Installers must ensure that the rough opening is clear of debris and that shim placement occurs at all anchor points to prevent frame racking under high wind loads.
Special attention should be paid to the interaction between the aluminum frame and the building's moisture barrier. Utilize EPDM gaskets and backer rods as specified in the SAINTY technical manual to ensure the air infiltration rate remains at or below 0.06 cfm/ft².

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I monitor the production progress of my order in real-time?
Once your CAD drawings are approved, you can log into the SAINTY platform to follow our 11-step manufacturing pipeline, view live site photos, and track shipping status — from material preparation and factory production through loading inspection, ocean freight, customs clearance and jobsite delivery.
What does SAINTY's 11-step order tracking process include?
The pipeline covers: CAD drawing approval, material preparation, profile machining, factory production, glazing & hardware installation, quality inspection, protective packing, loading inspection, ocean freight, customs & delivery, and jobsite delivery. Every milestone is documented with photos in the SAINTY app.
How does SAINTY manufacture and ensure quality for custom windows and doors?
Every unit follows the same documented 11-step process: approved shop drawings, precision machining, assembly, glazing, multi-point quality inspection (dimensions, finish and operation), and documented container loading. Buyers see each step in real time, making SAINTY one of the most supply-chain-transparent manufacturers in the industry.
Are these storefront doors certified for use in Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ)?
Yes, these units are tested to meet Miami-Dade NOA standards and ASTM E330 design pressure requirements. Specifically, they are rated for design pressures up to DP70, ensuring compliance with the most stringent wind-borne debris regulations in Florida. Our triple-pane insulated glass units provide the necessary impact resistance required for commercial storefront insurance compliance.
What thermal performance can be expected from these impact-resistant systems?
SAINTY storefront doors achieve a U-Factor between 0.20 and 0.32 when tested per NFRC 100-2020 protocols. By incorporating a 24mm PA66 GF25 thermal break and high-performance Low-E coatings, these systems significantly reduce solar heat gain, maintaining an SHGC below 0.23 to minimize HVAC loads in tropical climates.
What maintenance is required for the hardware in coastal Florida environments?
Hardware maintenance is minimized by our use of Grade 304 or 316 stainless steel components, including pivots and thresholds. We recommend semi-annual rinsing of the AAMA 2605 finish to remove salt deposits, which maintains the integrity of the powder coating against the corrosive coastal atmosphere.
Do SAINTY impact resistant aluminum storefront doors comply with Florida energy code requirements?
Yes. SAINTY Impact Resistant Aluminum Storefront Doors units are fully compliant with Florida energy code requirements, achieving a certified U-Factor of 0.30 Btu/h·ft²·°F (NFRC 100) and an SHGC of 0.22 / 0.55 when tested under NFRC 100-2020 and NFRC 200-2020 procedures. Performance is verified on AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 tested assemblies, and the NFRC label certificate is supplied with every order for permit submission.
How do SAINTY thermal break impact resistant aluminum storefront doors compare to standard non-thermal aluminium windows in Florida?
Unlike non-thermal aluminium frames, which typically show U-factors above 0.50 Btu/h·ft²·°F, SAINTY uses a 24mm PA66 GF25 Polyamide thermal break and Low-E insulated glazing to reach a certified U-Factor of 0.30 Btu/h·ft²·°F (NFRC 100). That reduces conductive heat transfer and HVAC loads substantially while meeting NFRC 100-2020 and, where applicable, California Title 24 Part 6 requirements.
