Xi'an Orion Architectural Glass & Window Co., Ltd. brings high-capacity industrial production and rigor to the North American architectural market.
Registered in 2017, Xi'an Orion Architectural Glass & Window Co., Ltd. occupies a production footprint of 24,000 square meters. Leveraging 9 years of industry experience and 6 years of international operations, we achieve an annual export value of $21 million. Our primary markets cover Eastern Europe, South America, and Oceania, catering to hotel construction groups, architectural firms, and regional wholesalers.
Quality assurance is maintained by 30 dedicated QC professionals executing ISO-certified batch sampling, optical glass flaw detection, and salt spray corrosion testing. Supported by 620 upstream suppliers, Orion offers extensive customization options including ultra-narrow frame sightlines, integrated insect screens, and custom RAL powder coatings. Our core R&D team of 36 engineers brought 35 new energy-saving product series to market over the past year.
We eliminate intermediary overhead by delivering direct container shipments to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach, backed by full engineering submittals, shop drawings, and local compliance support.
Every shutter component undergoes cyclic wind load testing, ASTM B117 salt spray endurance, and thermal barrier verification to exceed California Building Code (CBC) mandates.
Navigating microclimatic demands, strict environmental codes, and architectural compliance across the South Coast Air Basin.
Los Angeles architecture faces rigorous solar heat gain challenges. Under California Title 24 Part 6 standards, building envelopes must maintain low Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) and minimal U-factors to reduce peak HVAC cooling loads.
Orion’s thermal-break louver and shutter systems provide active dynamic shading, reducing direct solar radiance by up to 82% before it reaches the fenestration glass, yielding massive operational energy savings for commercial developments in Downtown LA, Century City, and the San Fernando Valley.
Developments situated along hillside regions (Bel-Air, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Calabasas) reside in designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ). Standard vinyl or timber window coverings fail to provide thermal protection against ember ignition.
Our aluminum fire-rated exterior rolling shutters and heavy-duty metal louvers serve as critical thermal radiation barriers, meeting NFPA 257 flame-resistance criteria and preventing glass breakage under extreme thermal shock.
Coastal Los Angeles properties in Santa Monica, Venice, and Manhattan Beach face relentless airborne sodium chloride exposure, causing premature oxidation of standard architectural metals.
Orion applies multi-stage pre-treatment wash systems followed by Qualicoat Class 2 and AAMA 2605 compliant PVDF fluoropolymer resin coatings, ensuring 10,000+ hours of salt-spray resistance without blistering, chalking, or color degradation.
| Regulatory Requirement / Criteria | Standard & Compliance Target | Orion Technical Solution | Architectural Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title 24 Energy Efficiency | SHGC < 0.23, U-Factor < 0.28 | Extruded Aluminum Louvers with Polyamide Thermal Break | Reduces HVAC cooling load by up to 38% annually |
| WUI Wildfire Resistance | CAL FIRE & CBC Chapter 7A | Non-combustible alloy 6063-T6 with ceramic wool cores | Prevents radiant heat glass implosion & ember entry |
| Seismic & High Wind Load | ASCE 7-16 / IBC Structural Specs | Reinforced mullion tracks with dual-locking mechanical anchors | Withstands seismic displacement & 140 mph Santa Ana winds |
| Coastal Salt Spray Resistance | ASTM B117 (3,000 - 5,000 Hours) | AAMA 2605 PVDF Coating + Stainless Steel 316 Hardware | Zero corrosion or oxidation in direct oceanfront exposures |
| Acoustic Isolation (Urban Zones) | STC Rating > 35 dB (LAX / Freight Lines) | Double-walled acoustic slat profiles with rubber perimeter seals | Dampens ambient highway and aircraft low-frequency noise |

Our dynamic exterior louvers and thermal-break shutters act as external solar shading devices (SSDs). By blocking up to 82% of direct solar heat gain before it strikes the glazing, they drastically reduce the building's Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This enables architects to specify higher-transmittance visual glass while maintaining full compliance with Energy Code performance paths for Southern California climate zones 6, 8, and 9.
Yes. For developments in Bel-Air, Calabasas, Pacific Palisades, and Pasadena hillside zones, we manufacture shutters using heavy-duty 6063-T6 extruded aluminum and non-combustible steel cores. These shutters are tested against flame penetration (NFPA 257) and radiant heat transfer, helping prevent interior ember ignition and fenestration glass blowout during wildfire events.
For installations within 3 miles of the Pacific coast (e.g., Malibu, Santa Monica, Redondo Beach), we recommend our AAMA 2605 compliant PVDF fluoropolymer resin coatings or 25-micron anodized finishes paired with 316-grade stainless steel internal hardware. This spec passes 3,000 to 5,000+ hours of continuous salt spray testing under ASTM B117 standards.
Our factory production cycle averages 3 to 4 weeks following shop drawing approval. Ocean freight from our factory to the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) or Port of Long Beach (POLB) typically takes 14 to 18 days. We offer full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping options directly to job sites across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Ventura County.
Absolutely. Our motorized shutter options feature Somfy, Lutron, and dry-contact smart actuators compatible with Crestron, Control4, and commercial BACnet or KNX automation frameworks. This allows automated schedule control based on astronomical solar tracking data.
