KONIFER SF-175
Slimline Architectural Storefront System
KONIFER SF-175 is a refined narrow sightline storefront framing platform engineered for contemporary commercial entrances, retail façades, interior glazing applications, and low-rise institutional projects requiring clean aesthetics and dependable performance.
Designed with architectural simplicity and fabrication efficiency in mind, the SF-175 system delivers modern storefront performance while maintaining elegant minimalist sightlines.
Because storefront systems are expected to:
– look luxurious,
– survive Canadian winters,
– resist constant door traffic,
– coordinate with every trade on site,
– and still align perfectly after concrete inevitably moves slightly.
Construction remains mankind’s ongoing argument with geometry.
