Storefront Glass is Your Commercial Glass Solution

First impressions are important, especially when building connections and this is no different when potential customers view your storefront. As a business or storefront owner, you might be in search of an affordable, yet effective way to refresh your aging storefront glass. A large storefront glass is perhaps the most effective commercial glass solution. Here are several aspects of modern storefront glass that you may not have considered.

Materials

Architects and designers are incorporating greater amounts of modern building materials like aluminum and glass. These sleek, sophisticated materials lend an air of elegance and simplicity to your storefront. Clean lines, hard edges and crisp geometry are synonymous with what we consider modern and contemporary.

Material choice for your storefront glass also makes an impact when it comes to energy efficiency.  Energy-star rated glass is the better known choice when ensuring maximum performance and energy efficiency. For extra energy performance, insulated and tinted glass can afford added efficiency to keep things cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Durability and security may also be considerations. Often in those situations, Plexiglas is the most suitable option.

The material for the window frame depends on the building’s architecture as well as how the interior of your business is designed. Usually, frames are made using hybrid aluminum-PVC, vinyl, PVC, aluminum, and wood for the appearance and the added durability it provides.

Security Considerations

Commercial storefront glass is versatile – it can be configured to fit any desired opening or entrance from storefronts to back warehouses. Glass doors may also be fitted with  a myriad of security access options. Frameless glass doors are also available when design and cosmetic appeal are priorities. Commercial glass doors often come with any number of hardware, ranging from standard door handles and closers to fully automated closers, access controls, and custom handles. Special hardware is also available for high traffic entrances or where wind might be a factor.

Commercial storefront glass windows also come with a variety of security options ranging from window locks to alarms and secure glass. Plexiglas, as well as reinforced glass, both help to prevent glass panes from shattering.

Retrofitting Your Window

nvision Glass^TM completed a custom windows replacement project which ended up being very cost effective for the owner. We used a Flush Fin retro fitting around the existing window frame without disturbing the stucco for a clean and cost effective solution. Sometimes the simpler solution is the right one. We love the opportunity to do designs for custom windows, but we enjoy it even more when we can properly serve our customers.

The Process

The replacement project was unique because of the arch designs in the windows. The house had a little more personality because of these windows and we didn’t want to change that. Yet, you can see a weathered and outdated frame in the ‘before picture,’ which needed an attractive boost. We decided to go with the white Flush Fin Retro fit because it brought out a healthy glow and liveliness to the home

Window Installation in Reno’s Somersett Community

This project turned out beautifully. Somersett is a very nice community located on the outskirts of Northwest Reno. nvision Glass was able to work closely with the owner and designer of the home to create custom windows opening that used incoming light to add to their vision of a very open feeling floor plan.

We used Anderson Windows 100 Series that have a composite frame, Low-E glass standard, and full-perimeter weatherstripping for greater energy efficiency.
