Storefront glazing systems in North Florida: what to know

Storefront glazing turns a steel wall into a shopfront. Aluminum framing holds the glass in a run of fixed panels with one or more entry doors, often topped by a transom that brings daylight deep into the sales floor. Behind it, the steel frame gets headers and wind posts so the opening stays stiff under load. The glass type is chosen for wind rating, heat gain and security, and entry doors are laid out with the accessible route, door hardware and clear floor space in mind.
