YKK AP's YES 45 CI is a center set glazed can storefront system developed for 1 inch insulating glass and other types of infill panels of varying thicknesses.  It is designed to give the appearance of standard storefront while providing the benefits of a ribbon window system.  Head and sill members are installed in a continuous fashion to provide uninterrupted protection against water infiltration.  Vertical members are simply stacked into the head and sill, eliminating the requirement of fasteners and thereby reducing fabrication and installation labor.

The YES 45 CI can be glazed from the outside or interior of the building.  It can also be assembled through Screw Spline or Shear Block Assembly.  The storefront system integrates with YKK AP's Model 20D, 35D and 50D doors, and it offers enhanced water infiltration resistance.
