YKK AP America has unveiled the YES 60 family of storefront products, including the FI, TU and XT models, providing 6-inch solutions to meet market demands. The YES 60 line is designed to accommodate storefront openings that are taller and wider, allowing more natural light. With the addition, YKK AP’s core line of 6-inch solutions includes corners and thermal doorframes.
The YES 60 FI is 10 percent stronger than the TU and XT systems, allowing for more vertical and horizontal spans. The YES 60 FI accepts from 1/4-inch up to 1-inch low E insulating glass, meaning the system can deliver the performance necessary for climate zones 1 and 2.
The thermally broken YES 60 TU utilizes ThermaBond Plus technology, a patented process that improves adhesion of the polyurethane thermal break material to the extruded aluminum. The outside glazed TU model accepts 1-inch insulating glass.
Part of the enerGfacade line of solutions, the YES 60 XT storefront features dual thermal barriers that maintain a comfortable interior for building occupants. The YES 60 XT offers thermal performance, including a U-factor of 0.38.
All YES 60 models feature the sill flashing design, featuring no blind seals, tall back leg for water resistance, and patent pending three-point attachment of end dam. The option of side lite curtain wall covers, pre-engineered corners and an alternative anchoring system further expands design choices. Additionally, all YES 60 models are compatible with the YES 45 storefront, and integrate with the ThermaShade Sun Control system and Luminance Light Shelf technology.
