Commercial Windows & Glazing
Storefront systems, curtain walls, and energy-efficient commercial glass installation
Commercial glazing is a specialized trade that intersects with structural engineering, energy code, accessibility compliance, and life safety. National Restoration designs, furnishes, and installs aluminum storefront systems, unitized and stick-built curtain walls, entrance doors, and high-performance insulated glass for office buildings, retail centers, medical facilities, schools, and institutional properties.
Whether the scope is a single storefront replacement after a break-in, a full curtain wall envelope re-glazing during a capital refresh, or ADA-compliant entrance upgrades across a multi-property portfolio, we deliver code-compliant installations with architectural-grade aluminum, properly specified glazing, and manufacturer-backed performance.
Why Our Commercial Glazing Stands Out
Commercial glass is unforgiving. Tolerances are tight, specifications are demanding, and compliance is non-negotiable.
Long-standing installer relationships with Kawneer, YKK AP, EFCO, Vitro, and Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope. Direct factory specification support and expedited material lead times.
Low-E coatings, argon fills, warm-edge spacers, and triple-pane options that exceed IECC energy code requirements. Reduce tenant cooling loads and improve occupant comfort year-round.
Hurricane-rated laminated assemblies, bullet-resistant glazing for banking and government, and security films that delay forced entry. Specified to project-specific threat levels.
Entrance openings, approach clearances, threshold heights, and door operator specifications meet ADA and state accessibility codes. Automatic operators installed to BHMA A156.10 standards.
Night and weekend installations, temporary enclosures, dust containment, and tenant protection plans so businesses keep operating while glazing is replaced unit by unit.
24/7 emergency response for broken storefronts, vandalism, and storm damage. Plywood and polycarbonate secure-ups same day, permanent glass ordered and installed on the fastest available timeline.

How Commercial Glazing Projects Are Delivered
From design assist through punch list, a predictable process designed for commercial pace and accountability.
Detailed field measurement of every opening, including substrate conditions, anchor patterns, and existing sealant interface. Laser and template verification for tight-tolerance curtain wall.
AAMA-compliant shop drawings, performance data, and glazing submittals delivered for architect and owner review. Coordination with structural, MEP, and interior finish trades.
Aluminum fabricated and finished to project specifications. Glazing units ordered with appropriate lead time. Staging plans coordinate delivery to minimize site storage.
Frames set plumb and square, anchors installed per engineering, glazing pressure-equalized or wet glazed as specified. Structural sealants and weather seals applied per manufacturer details.
Field water testing (AAMA 501.2) on representative bays, final punch list, sealant warranty registration, and maintenance manuals turned over to facility team.
ADA Entrance Modernization
Existing buildings often carry ADA deficiencies at entrances: hardware that exceeds operating force limits, thresholds over 1/2 inch, missing automatic operators, and narrow clear widths. We audit entrances, price upgrades to current ADA and ICC A117.1 requirements, and install compliant hardware and operators with minimal tenant disruption.
Property owners use our entrance modernization programs to reduce accessibility complaint exposure and improve daily usability for all visitors.
