Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between storefront glass and curtain wall systems?
Storefront glass systems are ground-floor, center-glazed systems under 12 feet tall, supported by the building floor. Curtain walls are non-structural, multistory glass systems hung on the exterior of a building structure to carry their own weight.
Do you repair broken retail storefront glass?
Yes. We offer rapid-response emergency storefront board-up services and replacement glass glazing to secure your retail location.
What framing options do you offer for storefronts?
We use premium extruded aluminum framing, anodized or powder-coated, with options for thermal breaks and insulated double panes to maximize energy performance.
Is tempered safety glass required for storefronts?
Yes. Building safety codes mandate tempered or laminated safety glass for all storefront entry doors and adjacent sidelights to prevent hazardous breakage.
