Product Spec Sheet: 
6" x 27" BAC-VLLPB-G Low Profile Bronze Vision Lite for IGUs
Regular window frames for doors often don't work well with insulated glass, causing heat loss and letting in outside noise. This is especially true in Canada, where the cold winters and hot summers demand better protection. The 6" x 27" BAC-VLLPB-G Low Profile Bronze Vision Lite for IGUs solves this problem with a solution designed specifically for insulated glass applications.
The BAC-VLLPB-G fits different door thicknesses from 1" to 3" and works with various glass thicknesses from 3/16" to 1-11/16". It's made from strong 20-gauge steel with a bronze finish that won't rust. The frame comes with self-attaching screws that make installation straightforward.
UL- and ULC-listed and compliant with Canadian fire code standards, it has fire ratings of up to 180 minutes when used with fire-rated glazing. This feature makes it an ideal choice for Canadian commercial spaces, schools, healthcare facilities, and other buildings requiring aesthetic appeal and code compliance.
