Home › Services › Commercial Glass › Aluminum Storefront Installation
A storefront is the frame, the glass and the entrance door working as one system. When the old one is failing or the space is being fitted out for a new tenant, the job is bigger than swapping a pane. Prestine Glass Solutions installs and replaces aluminum storefront systems for retail, restaurant and office spaces across Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland.
We measure the opening, confirm the layout of doors, fixed panels and sidelites with you, and order the framing and glass to suit. Owners, property managers and general contractors can all bring us in, whether it is one shop front or a run of tenant spaces.
Old framing out, new aluminum framing, glass and entrance in.
Aluminum and glass doors fitted into new or existing storefront framing.
Single panels replaced without touching the rest of the storefront.
Every storefront job starts with the same questions. Is the existing framing worth keeping? Where does the entrance go and which way should it swing? Which panels need safety glass? Does the glass need to be insulated for the space behind it? We go through these on site so the order is right the first time.
If only one panel is broken, you probably do not need a new storefront. See storefront glass repair.
For tenant fit-outs we work from your drawings or measure the opening ourselves, and we coordinate install dates with the rest of the build. For occupied shops we plan the work so the space is not left open, and we tell you up front if part of the front will need temporary protection during the swap.
Framing and glass are made to order, so lead time is part of the plan. We give you that date when the order is placed. Related: commercial entry door installation and plate glass replacement.
Tell us what broke and where. Photos help us quote faster.
For emergencies we clear the hazard and board up or secure the opening.
We measure on site and order the right glass and hardware.
We fit the permanent glass and leave the site clean.
If it is straight, sealed and in good shape, yes. If it is corroded, bent or leaking, replacing it with the glass is usually the better job.
Yes. Send the drawings or the opening sizes and the schedule and we will price the storefront package.
Often in stages. We plan the order of work so the space is not left unsecured overnight.
Doors and panels near doors or floors need safety glass. Insulated glass is common where the space is heated or cooled. We confirm what each panel needs.
No. Prestine works on commercial and residential building glass only. We do not do windshields or vehicle glass.
