Zouri Storefronts
 In
the 1920s The Zouri Drawn Metals Co invented
a safer way to install storefront glass.
Zouri’s design utilizes a key-set sash in
which the outer member of the sash is drawn
against the glass by means of a small key
instead of using direct (and hazardous)
pressure on the glass. Many older and
historic buildings still have Zouri
storefronts in use today.
The Fox Theatre in Atlanta
Georgia underwent a restoration where they
wanted to preserve the historical value of
their fabulous building. One of the projects
was the restoration of their bronze Zouri
storefronts. The Fox Theatre came to us. We
designed and built custom dies to reproduce
the Zouri key-set sash. Here are pictures of
The Fox Theatre and custom dies we
fabricated to restore the bronze
storefronts.
