Smart Glaze Interior Aluminum Framing System
Kyler's Smart Glaze interior aluminum framing system is designed for interior wall applications that are constructed with steel studs and drywall. Total wall thickness to be 4-7/8 inches.
Smart Glaze features and benefits:
- All frame components are extruded aluminum
- All mechanical fasteners are concealed
- Removable glazing stops
- Screw flange type installation with pre-cut snap on trim
- Frames are shipped to job site fully assembled and pre-glazed with between the glass blinds - ready for installation
- A complementary Smart Glaze door lite frame is also available
- All frame components are extruded aluminum.
- Reduced labor/material cost on drywall - window openings do not require complete finishing of the sill, head, and side jambs. Rather, the openings can be left unfinished because of the unique installation detail of the Smart Glaze frame.
- Reduced cost on glazing labor - All Smart Glaze frames are shipped to the jobsite pre-glazed with between glass blinds already installed. Simply put, Smart Glaze fames arrive ready to install. The rough opening is filled in one step. Typically this requires two steps-frame installation and glazing installation. This labor savings can be significant on large multistory projects that feature many openings.
- Better aesthetics - Smart Glaze completely covers the rough drywall opening. All mechanical fasteners are concealed. This provides a durable detail and sleek appearance with maximum glass area.
- Better fit, better finish, and better function - Because Smart Glaze units are manufactured and pre-glazed in our plant under controlled conditions, better results are consistently delivered to the owner/end user. This has proven itself time and time again from one project to the next.
Operation
The Smart Glaze Unit offers various tilt control options for the internal venetian blind. These standard options include:

All operator types are available in Single Tilt Control (tilt operation from one side) or Dual Tilt Control (tilt operation from both sides).
Other Unique Features to the Smart Glaze Unit:
Versatile tilt control placement
Regardless of single control or dual control operation, the Smart Glaze Unit offers the tilt controls to be positioned at virtually any specified location on the vertical sides of the Sani-Pane unit. This is especially useful when considering ADA code requirements.
