Warren Henry Auto Group will soon have a new showroom in North Miami, just south of Aventura located on Biscayne Boulevard and 151st Street, Florida, USA. The new headquarters will be home to Land Rover, Jaguar, and INFINITI.
Al-Farooq Corporation was brought onto the project by longtime client, All American & Doors, to provide shop drawings and calculations including architectural plans and elevations. In addition, Al-Farooq Corporation prepared the testing program and product approval for the new system.
Originally planned with mullions, Al-Farooq Corporation played a pivotal role in the conceptual design and value engineering for the frameless hurricane-resistant storefront glass system.
The development will include the largest single glass panel approved and tested for the South Florida market. Each span of glass measures 15 ½ feet tall by nearly 8 feet wide.
The ES-FX3050 by ES Windows is a frameless/mullion-less two-sided support system with an interior frame. With no vertical aluminium profiles, the glass system provides unobstructed views. The unique product is also 1 1/16” laminated, large missile impact rated glass.
It is the first time a glass system of this size has been used in South Florida. A total of 1,115 square feet of glass will be used for the project’s storefront.
