STOREFRONT DOORS
In relation to its small weight, aluminium is one of the strongest metals. Aluminum frames are resistant to extreme weather and ongoing exposure.
Aluminum windows installed by storefront glass contractors typically have a lifespan of 15 years. Aluminum windows have been known to survive up to 20 years or more if properly fitted and maintained.
​
The most conventional and well-established material for framing windows is wood. Because wood-framed windows can endure 30 years or more, employing wood is still an option when it comes to commercial glass. Wood windows can survive as long as the structure itself if fitted and maintained correctly.
​
The variables listed below can help determine whether it's time to replace commercial glass installations in addition to the building materials utilised.
Commercial Safety Glass
Not all glass is created equal. Safety or security glass is typically used by commercial establishments to build storefronts. Tempered glass and laminated glass are the two primary varieties of safety glass.
As opposed to annealed glass, which is used for tabletops, cabinet doors, basement windows, and other applications, tempered glass is made using an unique heating process that increases its strength by up to four times. In contrast to annealed glass, which shatters into sharp shards when it is broken, tempered glass instead shatter into thousands of tiny pieces.
On the other hand, laminated safety glass consists of two pieces of annealed glass sandwiched together with a thick coating of glue. The benefit of laminated safety glass is that it maintains its shape as a sheet even after breaking, adding an extra layer of protection from harm and acting as a deterrent to attackers.

Insulated Glass Replacement
Insulated glass has increased in popularity in commercial structures since the 1970s. Insulated glass units, or IGUs, are made of two pieces of glass that are joined together by a spacer bar to provide an airtight and watertight compartment. An inert gas that acts as an insulator is then poured into this gap. Sadly, when insulated glass units get older, seals deteriorate and moisture seeps in, making the inside of the glass panels appear to be continuously foggy.
IGUs have a wide range of life expectancies, depending on a variety of conditions, but all of these windows are prone to seal failure, especially those with a lot of sun exposure. In the majority of situations, buying new insulated glass units is the best course of action.
