I haven't found any manufacturer that offers anything besides big windows. Thanks,Robin Jeffrey Wilson CSI CCS Senior Member Username: wilsonconsulting Post Number: 61 Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - 02:50 pm:    Wood storefront systems are offered by Dynamic Windows and by Duratherm, although neither is focused on the commercial market, so I'm not sure how useful their specs will be. http://www.dynamicwindows.com/modern/lightcommercialandluxuryresorts.html http://www.durathermwindow.com Nathan Woods, CSI, CCCA, LEED AP Senior Member Username: nwoods Post Number: 439 Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - 02:51 pm:    I have used Pacific Architectural Millwork to make some beautiful mahagony exterior storefront systems: http://www.pacmillwork.com/cms/ J.

See http://www.qualitypowdercoating.com/dallas/decorative-powder-coating/decorative-color-chart/ Word to the Wise: These are not AAMA 2605 coatings, but they should require less maintenance than real wood. If your application is an interior application, it should do fine. Jim Hester at Quality Powder Coating is a member of the Dallas CSI Chapter and is very knowledgeable about metal finishes.

I would also look at the AWS (Architectural Woodwork Standards) for details and specifications and the Woodwork Institute Supplement for quality assurance requirements.
