Your storefront is your 24/7 salesperson. Cracked glass, foggy windows, or a battered entry door sends the wrong message to potential clients. In the competitive Seattle market, curb appeal is everything.
Whether you are dealing with vandalism, storm damage, or just outdated aesthetics, understanding your commercial glass installation options is the first step to a secure, modern business.
Choosing the Right Glass: Tempered vs. Laminated
When replacing storefront glass, safety is the priority. We install two main types depending on your needs:
- Tempered Glass: Heat-treated to be 4x stronger than standard glass. If it breaks, it shatters into safe "pebbles" rather than dangerous shards. Standard for doors and floor-level windows.
- Laminated Glass: Features a vinyl interlayer that holds the glass together if broken. This is the best choice for security, as it remains in the frame even after impact, deterring "smash and grab" theft.
Custom Double-Pane (IGU) Upgrades
Is your storefront glass looking cloudy or foggy? This means the seal on your Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) has failed. We replace these units with energy-efficient Low-E glass that reduces heating costs and prevents condensation—custom-sized to your existing frames.
Total Storefront Restoration
Glass is only half the battle. A secure storefront requires fully functional frames and hardware. Our comprehensive service includes:
- Frame Repair: Fixing bent aluminum frames or corroded thresholds.
- Hardware Updates: Installing modern pull handles, continuous hinges, and heavy-duty locks.
- Emergency Board-Up: If you suffer breakage, we arrive 24/7 to board up the opening, measure for new glass, and rush the permanent installation.
Code Compliance
All our installations meet current Washington State building codes, ensuring safety glazing is used in hazardous locations like entryways.
