Framed Glass Partition Systems
Aluminum-framed office fronts and partitions that accept the widest range of door types and configurations.

Featured Detail
Framed Partitions
Framed systems are the workhorse of commercial office glazing — economical, flexible, and able to host every door type from frameless swings to top-hung sliders.
An aluminum-framed front gives you predictable performance, consistent reveals, and full flexibility on door selection. The CRL OfficeFront 487 platform is our standard for swing, sliding, sidelite, clerestory, borrowed-lite, and cased-opening configurations across an entire floor.
Where the design calls for mixed conditions — wood doors next to glass swings next to top-hung sliders — a framed system keeps the perimeter detailing identical across every opening so the floor reads as one composition.

Frequently asked
Why pick framed over frameless?
Framed systems cost less per linear foot, accept more door types, and integrate sliders cleanly. They're our default for full tenant floors.
Can finishes be matched to existing aluminum?
Yes — we routinely match anodized and PVD finishes on phased renovation work.
