Glazing System Choices

The short list for the glazing systems that are appropriate for use in the project . You can factor in the appearance of the glazing framing in the choice of your overall palette.
Vistawall
http://www.vistawall.com/
Curtainwall: Vistawall CW-250 1" Glazing Captured 2-1/2" x 5 3/4" frame 1" glass
Storefront: Vistawall FG-3000-T 2" x 4 1/2" Frame 1" glass
Kawneer http://www.kawneer.com/products/Product_Information/products_information.htm Curtainwall: Kawneer 1600 Wall System 2" x 6" frame 1" glass Storefront: Kawneer Trifab VG451T 2" x 4 1/2" frame 1" glass
The Kawneer color palette can be found at:
http://www.alcoa.com/bcs/kawneer_namer/catalog/pdf/Finishes/Fluropon_Chart--F.pdf

Both of these were selected as they have the most options in finish choices. Which ever manufacturer the team selects, the same source should be used for both curtainwall and storefront applications.
