What is a commercial storefront system?
A storefront system is a ground-level, aluminum-framed glazing assembly for entries, lobbies, and retail frontage. It combines large glass panels with slim aluminum framing and commercial entrance doors, built to California commercial code.
What's the difference between storefront, window wall, and curtain wall?
Storefront is ground-level aluminum glazing for entries and retail frontage. Window wall and curtain wall are floor-to-floor or hung systems used on mid- and high-rise buildings. We install storefront systems and can price window wall and curtain wall on larger scopes.
