FAQs
What is the difference between commercial and residential glass?
Commercial glass is designed for higher traffic, stricter safety codes, and larger openings than residential applications. Commercial buildings often require tempered or laminated safety glass, reinforced frames, and engineered glazing systems such as storefronts and curtain wall assemblies. Residential glass does not typically face the same structural and code requirements.
How much does storefront glass cost in Raleigh, NC?
The cost of storefront glass depends on the size of the opening, the type of glass, the framing system, and the scope of the project. Insulated glass units, custom frames, and curtain wall systems will affect pricing. The most accurate way to determine cost is through a site evaluation and detailed quote based on your specifications.
How thick is commercial grade glass?
Commercial grade glass varies by application. Storefronts and commercial glazing systems commonly use thicker tempered glass or insulated glass units sized to meet structural and wind-load requirements. The required thickness depends on the opening size, building design, and local code standards.
Does commercial glass have to be tempered?
In many commercial applications, yes. Building codes often require tempered or laminated safety glass in doors, sidelights, and certain window locations within commercial buildings. The specific requirement depends on the location of the glass and how it will be used.
Do you provide emergency commercial glass repair?
Yes. If your storefront, doors, or windows are damaged, prompt repair is critical for safety and security. We provide emergency commercial glass repair to secure your building and restore operations as quickly as possible.
Do you work with general contractors and property managers?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with general contractors, project managers, property managers, and developers on new construction, tenant build-outs, and commercial renovations. We review plans, confirm measurements, and install commercial glass systems according to project timelines and specifications.
