But the best products alone are not the answer.
We Listen
Members of our management staff personally visit our glazier customers regularly. We learn what works and what doesn't-from their
perspective, not ours. The result is solutions that work-solutions tailored for the field
so jobs get done right the first time.
Dependable

late deliveries from architectural metal suppliers. The impact is clear: delayed
construction schedules costing significant time and money.
Our goal is simple-to be the most dependable supplier in our industry. This means quality
products; fast, reliable delivery; and easy fabrication and installation. We've actually
built our business around this goal.Comprehensive
product information resources make specification easy. Integrated order/production systems
ensure accuracy and enable us to provide delivery dates at the time of order. Synchronous
manufacturing means that glaziers get their orders on time-every time.
The Result
The result-clear specification resources, personalized customer service and products you
can trust, delivered correct and on time.
So read the following pages, then put us to the test. You'll find us to be the fastest,
most dependable supplier in the industry.

1900 Series Ribbon Window
Tubelite's versatile Ribbon Windows are designed for low- to mid-rise applications. Units
are compatible with our 400 Series Curtainwall, and available in a variety of face
dimensions and frame depths.
Members are assembled using screw spline or clip joinery with concealed fasteners. The
continuous interior sill runner makes installation simple. With no anchors through the
glazing pocket, the possibility ,.: of water leakage is reduced, while glass positioning
aids in water drainage. Glazing is accomplished from the inside to help to reduce project
labor costs.
Snap-on covers on our 1900 Series III add flexibility, allowing for contrasting interior
and exterior finishes on exposed framing. Optional silicone glazed verticals present a
sleek, uninterrupted ribbon of glass.
