Storefront Glass Installation in Dallas–Fort Worth
Storefront glass installation in Dallas starts with the system rather than the glass. The aluminum framing, the fixed lites, the entry door and its hardware are specified together from one site measure, so the finished opening closes, locks and seals as a single unit.
We install storefront packages for retail, restaurant and quick-service buildings across Dallas–Fort Worth. Installs can be booked in advance for evenings or weekends, so a business that is trading stays open while the glass goes in.
What a storefront installation covers
One opening, one company
A storefront is an aluminum frame with glass set into it and, usually, an entry door hung in the same frame. When the frame, the glass and the door come from different crews, nobody owns how they fit together. Here one company owns the whole opening, from the measure through the warranty.
Safety glass where the code puts it
Glass in a door, beside a door, or in a large lite close to the floor sits in a hazardous location under Section 2406 of the International Building Code, and has to be tempered or laminated safety glazing. Each lite is specified for where it sits in the opening, not ordered to one default.
Booked around trading hours
Most storefront work happens on buildings that are already open for business. Installs can be scheduled for evenings or weekends, agreed in advance, so the work does not land in the middle of the day your customers are coming through the door.
Who does the work
Donavon Wheeler, President of Infinity Glass & Glazing, oversees commercial work from our Corinth location. The company is family-owned and ran commercial glazing in California for 30+ years, on hotels, storefronts, curtain walls and office partitions, before opening in Dallas–Fort Worth.
The storefronts pictured are California jobs from that operation. Our Dallas–Fort Worth branch is new. Glass is ordered to the measured opening, lites in and beside doors are tempered safety glass marked to ANSI Z97.1, and one company owns the job from the measure through the warranty. Fully insured, and estimates are free.
Questions we get about storefront glass
What is included in a storefront glass installation?
The aluminum storefront framing, the fixed glass lites set into it, and usually the entry door with its hinges or pivots, closer, handles and lock. Sidelites beside the door and a transom above it belong to the same system. All of it is scoped from one site measure so the parts are made to fit each other.
Can new storefront glass go in while our business stays open?
Yes. Storefront installs can be booked in advance for evenings or weekends, which is how most retail and restaurant work gets done. The one thing we do not offer is an unscheduled emergency call-out: storefront work is measured, ordered and booked ahead.
Does storefront glass have to be tempered or laminated safety glass?
Glass in and beside doors, and large lites close to the floor, are hazardous locations under Section 2406 of the International Building Code, so they take tempered or laminated safety glazing. Other lites follow the design drawings and the energy code. The opening decides it, not a default.
Can you quote a storefront package from the drawings for a new build?
Yes. Send the drawings and the glazing specification and we will quote the storefront scope from them, then confirm dimensions with a site measure once the openings are framed. Estimates are free, and we are fully insured.
