Storefront glass, entry doors and display windows
Commercial storefront glass is the street side of Accurate Glass & Mirror's commercial work: aluminum-framed glass storefronts, glass entry doors and display windows, with custom glass storefronts designed and installed. On a full storefront build that takes in structural framing and exterior work, the glass is supplied and installed in coordination with your general contractor. The page on aluminum storefront doors goes further into the door itself and the glass it holds.
If a storefront lite breaks, emergency board-up secures the opening first and the replacement glass is cut to the measured opening afterward, the order the answer on how a broken storefront gets boarded up lays out. For the glass that stays in place, the storefront glass care guide covers cleaning and inspection from the owner's side.
Commercial doors and door repair
Commercial door repair is the work for a glass or aluminum storefront door that drags, will not latch, slams or has a cracked lite, and a commercial door service call is how it starts. A malfunctioning entrance door can disrupt the business behind it, and any repair begins with finding which part has failed. What happens on that visit, how the failed part is found and what goes into the firm written quote are set out on the commercial door repair page.
Door closers are adjusted or replaced as the door needs, and door closer and hinge repairs are part of the same commercial door work. A door that slams, stops short of the latch or feels heavy to open gets checked at the closer and at the hinges or other hardware the door hangs on during the measure. Which closer a door has, and what each of its adjustments changes, is the subject of the door closer repair page.
Storefront doors cover the glass entry doors themselves, from standard doors to custom configurations, and the glass in them: a cracked lite in an existing door is remade to size and reset. Whether an opening gets a new door and frame or new glass in the existing door is settled at the free on-site measure. For stiles, door glass types and the choice between a new door and a refit, see storefront doors.
Office glass walls and conference rooms
Office glass walls, framed or frameless, and conference room enclosures are the interior side of the commercial work, along with glass partitions for offices and suites. Frosted glass gives a room privacy while the light still comes through. The answer on the glass used in office partitions compares the glass types, and the layout is measured on site, free, before any glass is cut.
Safety glass, security glass and fire-rated glass
Tempered and laminated safety glass, bullet-resistant or blast-resistant glass and fire-rated glass are the safety and security glass types on the commercial side, together with thermal and low-E energy-efficient glass. The right type for an opening depends on where the glass sits and what it has to do, so ask the project's architect or the local construction official what a rated or safety-glazed opening requires before the glass is chosen.
Decorative glass, branding and glass railings
Decorative glass panels and back-painted glass, etched or frosted branding designs, and glass railings, balustrades and stair panels make up the architectural glass on the commercial side. Back-painted glass turns a wall into a solid color surface, etched or frosted branding puts a company's name or mark into the glass, and a glass railing, balustrade or stair panel keeps a stair or an upper floor edge open to view.
Who the commercial work is for
Retail stores, restaurants and cafes, offices and corporate buildings, medical facilities, educational institutions and fitness centers are the industries Accurate Glass & Mirror lists for its commercial work. Each brings its own reason to call: a shop's entrance door, a restaurant's storefront glass, a medical suite's glass walls, a school's safety glass. General contractors, designers and property managers who bring repeat or multi-site work can read about the contractor and designer partner program.
How a commercial glass job runs
A commercial glass job at Accurate Glass & Mirror follows a set order. The free on-site measure comes first, at the business, and a firm, itemized written quote follows it. The glass is then cut and edged in the Lodi shop, sent out for tempering where the job calls for tempered glass, and installed by the company's own crew, never subcontracted. Tell us your hours at the measure. Accurate Glass & Mirror is licensed and insured, and a photo texted to Jessica gets a starting quote before the measure.
