nal building features presented its own set of challenges.
To meet the historic requirements necessary to properly restore the building, large glass daylight openings were
needed, but space was limited and the interior building
logistics were tight. Glazing contractor Zinsel Glass and
aluminum-facades manufacturer YKK AP America collaborated to identify a curtainwall system that could span
floor to floor.
The YHC 300 OG impact-resistant and blast-mitigating outside-glazed curtainwall was chosen to provide

more exposed glass and to strengthen the building façade
through the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS),
which is where the wall transfers wind loads to the main
columns of the building.
For any post-Katrina structures or renovations in
New Orleans, hurricane mitigation is top priority. With
the Crescent City's history of destruction from Hurricane Katrina still fresh in builders' minds, it was critical
to use high-quality building materials that could preserve
NOPSI's historical charm as well as strengthen the exterior façade to protect it against catastrophic events. YKK
AP's YHS 50 TU storefront system was the choice to insulate the large glass windows and protect the building
against major hurricane wind speeds and resulting de-

bris. The impact-resistant and blast-mitigating storefront
system can withstand as much as 70 psf and is approved
for high-velocity hurricane zones. The YHS 50 TU can
weather such strong conditions because the pour and debridge thermal-break technology, which takes place
during the manufacturing process, improves the polyurethane's adhesion to the exterior aluminum and counters the effects of dry shrinkage.
"The NOPSI building was an exciting combination
of an adaptive-reuse project with stringent hurricane-mitigation requirements," said Greg Galloway, ProTek brand
manager at YKK AP America. "We knew we had to give
this building the strongest protection possible to keep
this historic landmark safe for generations to come. Put
simply, this was our most impressive job to date using the
YHS 50TU inside-glazed storefront."
