Commercial glazing services
AluVex Experts installs five kinds of glass and aluminum work on commercial buildings: storefront systems, curtain wall, commercial glass, entrance doors and frames, and windows. Most projects use more than one. Here is what each one is and when you need it.
The five systems
Each one has its own page: what it is, where it is used, what we do and how a project runs.
-
SF
Storefront systems
The aluminum framing and glass that fill a ground-floor opening, from the floor to the structure above. Used on retail and office fronts, entrances and tenant build-outs.
-
CW
Curtain wall
A glass and aluminum wall hung off the building's structure, outside the floor slabs. Used where glass runs past floor lines or has to take higher wind loads.
-
GL
Commercial glass
The glass itself: insulated, tempered, laminated and Low-E units for new framing, and replacement of broken, cracked or fogged lites in existing frames.
-
DR
Entrance doors and frames
Aluminum doors, frames and hardware for storefronts and building entrances: hinges or pivots, closers, locks, pulls and exit devices.
-
WN
Windows
Aluminum-framed windows set into individual openings in a solid wall, fixed or operable, for new buildings and replacement.
Not sure which system you need?
Point at the part of the building in the building explorer, read the glazing guide, or call and describe it.
Have drawings, or just a photo of the opening?
Send what you have. Tell us where the building is and what you need, and we will take it from there.
