Commercial glass
A separate request path for storefronts, commercial doors and building glass. Glass type, dimensions and site access are reviewed.
Parts of a storefront
Tap the glass that needs attention. Your request opens with it chosen, and you can add more there.
- Storefront windowThe large fixed panes beside the entrance.
- TransomThe pane above the doors.
- Door glassThe glass in each door leaf.
- BulkheadThe solid panel below a window. It is not glass, but it sets the size of the pane above it.
Safety glass
Doors, and glass beside doors and walkways, are generally required to be safety glass, either tempered or laminated.
Local building codes decide what a specific opening needs, so the glass type is confirmed during review.
Single pane or insulated
Older storefronts often use a single pane. Newer ones use insulated units: two panes sealed around a spacer.
Tempered glass cannot be cut after it is made, so accurate measurements matter before anything is ordered.
