In October 2024, our team completed a commercial project in New York, NY, installing an aluminum storefront with a dark bronze finish for a building entrance. This project involved fabricating a durable and visually appealing storefront door with custom features to meet the client’s needs. The new storefront added both security and style to the entrance, creating a welcoming yet reliable first impression for visitors.
Client Vision
The client’s goal was to install a strong and aesthetically pleasing storefront door that would serve as the main entrance to the building. They wanted a modern look with functional elements to ensure the door’s reliability in high-traffic usage. By selecting an aluminum frame with a dark bronze finish and high-quality tempered glass, we achieved a balance between durability and style, perfectly suited for a commercial entrance.
Why Choose Aluminum Storefronts with Tempered Glass?
Aluminum storefronts are known for their durability and versatility, making them ideal for commercial applications. Aluminum is resistant to corrosion, lightweight, and highly durable, which ensures that the storefront will maintain its appearance and functionality over time. The dark bronze finish added a sophisticated touch to the building’s exterior, while the 1/4″ tempered glass panels provided both strength and visibility.
Tempered glass is specially treated to be more resistant to impacts than regular glass, making it a safer choice for storefronts and entrances. In the event of breakage, tempered glass shatters into small, less harmful pieces, enhancing safety for both employees and visitors. The glass panels were custom-made to fit the aluminum frame perfectly, ensuring a seamless and attractive installation.
Solution Provided
To meet the client’s needs, our team designed and fabricated a custom aluminum storefront with a dark bronze finish. We created an aluminum frame with sections for 1/4″ tempered glass, and included custom handles, a saddle, locks, and a door stop for added functionality. Each piece was carefully fabricated to fit precisely, creating a streamlined look that would withstand daily usage in a commercial setting.
The installation process included mounting the aluminum frame and securely fitting each glass panel into the frame sections. We ensured that all custom components, including the handles and locks, were properly aligned for ease of use and maximum security. The door stop was also installed to protect the storefront door from excessive wear and ensure smooth operation.
Installation Details
The project required three weeks for fabrication, with the installation completed over 1-2 days. Our team handled every aspect of the process, from assembling the custom aluminum frame to fitting the tempered glass panels and accessories. With careful attention to alignment and security, we ensured that the storefront was both stable and functional, meeting the client’s expectations.
Impact on the Space
The new aluminum storefront made an immediate impact on the building’s entrance, providing a sleek, professional look that complements the architectural style. The dark bronze finish and custom glass sections added a modern, sophisticated touch, while the durable materials provided a safe and reliable entrance for the building. The client’s vision of a functional and visually appealing storefront door was fully realized, enhancing both the security and style of the space.
