Series B350 Non-Thermal Aluminum Storefront System

Boyd's Series B350 is a non-thermal commercial aluminum storefront framing system engineered for various storefront configurations and numerous applications. The ASTM-tested system has a 1.75" × 4.5" profile and 1/4" maximum glazing capacity and is available with Boyd's proprietary extrusions, accompanying vents, entrance coordination, and the storefront accessories needed to complete the selected opening.

Boyd storefront representatives can assist with B350 product selection, storefront layouts, entrances, vents, accessories, finishes, fabrication requirements, installation planning, and order preparation for all installation jobs—including rush jobs that require expedited shipping. Boyd can accept the order, carefully package the products, and ship the storefront in days. To discuss project details or place an order, call 800.737.2800.

When to Use the Series B350 Storefront System

• Standard commercial storefront openings where a non-thermal aluminum framing path is appropriate for the project.

• Low-rise, ground-level, single-story glazed openings requiring a 1.75" face, 4.5" frame depth, and 1/4" glazing.

• Storefront elevations requiring center-set glass, inside- or outside-glazed details, screw-spline or shear-block fabrication, and coordinated proprietary extrusions.

• Retail, office, institutional, renovation, replacement, interior, or other commercial storefront applications where thermal performance is not the controlling selection factor.

• Projects requiring fixed storefront glazing coordinated with commercial aluminum entrance doors, sidelites, transoms, thresholds, hardware, finishes, vents, and accessories.

• Rush-order storefront work where Boyd's sales support, packaging, inventory planning, expedited shipping, and ship-in-days service can help meet the installation schedule.

Choosing a Boyd Commercial Storefront System

You are viewing the B350 non-thermal center-set storefront system with 1/4" glazing. Storefront selection should start with the required thermal tier, face dimension, frame depth, glass plane, glazing thickness, entrance needs, ventilation, finish, water-management details, wind load, and opening conditions. Review the related systems below when the project requires a wider face, thicker glazing, a thermal barrier, XT dual-thermal construction, a front-set glass plane, historic-replica framing, or zero-sightline ventilation.

Series B350 Storefront System Advantages

• Engineered for various storefront configurations, making the system suitable for numerous commercial applications.

• ASTM-tested air, water, and uniform-load performance for documented storefront applications.

• A compact 1.75" × 4.5" storefront profile accommodates glazing up to 1/4" thick.

• B350 fabrication resources support storefront layout, frame assembly, shop-drawing, and installation planning.

• Boyd proprietary extrusions include head, jamb, sill, vertical-mullion, intermediate-horizontal, glazing-stop, corner-mullion, filler, and subsill components.

• Storefront performance charts support mullion, opening-size, wind-pressure, and reinforcement review.

• Available with accompanying vents, storefront entrance coordination, and the accessories required for the selected storefront condition.

• Anodized, painted, and project-specific finish options can be coordinated with storefront framing, entrances, exposed accessories, and adjacent materials.

• Boyd representatives support storefront selection, layouts, specifications, drawings, accessories, entrances, order preparation, packaging, and installation planning.

• Rush jobs and expedited shipping can be coordinated, with carefully packaged storefront orders shipped in days.

Common Series B350 Storefront Coordination Items

• Thermal strategy: B350 is a non-thermal storefront system. Confirm that a non-thermal framing path is appropriate for the building envelope, glazing, entrance, energy-code, condensation, and adjacent-wall requirements before final selection.

• Storefront versus curtain wall: Storefront framing is typically used at low-rise, ground-level, single-story openings. When the elevation spans multiple stories, crosses floor lines, requires greater movement accommodation, or exceeds typical storefront conditions, review curtain-wall framing instead.

• Glazing: Confirm the 1/4" maximum glass makeup, safety glazing, coatings, tint, heat treatment, edge conditions, setting blocks, gaskets, glazing stops, and glass availability.

• Fabrication and shop drawings: Coordinate the required extrusions, fasteners, drill requirements, cut lists, shop drawings, frame assembly, opening identification, and field installation sequence before release.

• Mullions and spans: Coordinate opening width and height, mullion spacing, wind pressure, reinforcement, expansion conditions, anchors, glass limits, and intermediate horizontals. Performance charts are design aids and final limitations should be reviewed by the project engineer.

• Published performance: The Series B350 provides 0.06 CFM/FT. air infiltration at 6.24 psf, 10.00 psf water resistance, and 30.00 psf structural performance. Coordinate opening dimensions, mullion spacing, reinforcement, glazing, anchorage, and installation with the required project pressures.

• Water management: Coordinate subsill, end dams, sill flashing, weep paths, glazing pockets, perimeter sealants, backer materials, thresholds, adjacent construction, and field drainage conditions.

• Entrance integration: Coordinate door series, door pairs, entrance frames, sidelites, transoms, thresholds, panic hardware, closers, access control, clear openings, accessibility, glazing, and finish before release.

• Ventilation: Confirm the selected vent, storefront compatibility, thermal strategy, glazing, sightlines, screen requirements, operating hardware, interior and exterior clearance, and water-management details.

• Anchoring and perimeter conditions: Verify rough openings, field dimensions, substrates, anchors, fasteners, shims, perimeter joints, sealants, dissimilar-material isolation, trims, adaptors, and accessory scope against approved shop drawings.

• Finish and protection: Coordinate anodized or painted finish, color samples, exposed fasteners, entrance hardware, accessories, adjacent materials, jobsite protection, cleaning, and touch-up requirements.

• Shipping and installation sequence: Provide the required delivery date, opening priorities, packaging or sorting needs, site access, storage plan, fabrication responsibility, and installation sequence when expedited shipping or a rush order is required.
