Your business's glass is its face — and its risk
A storefront is all glass by design: visibility sells. But in a hurricane, that glass wall is the business's biggest vulnerability — and after a break-in attempt any night of the year, it's the repair bill nobody budgeted for. Impact-rated storefront glass keeps the open, inviting look while standing up to storms and forced entry.
What commercial impact glass handles
Hurricanes. Laminated, debris-rated glass tested to Florida standards — the storefront stays sealed when the storm hits. Break-ins. Smash-and-grab thieves count on glass that shatters and falls out. Laminated glass cracks and holds — it turns a 30-second smash into a long, loud, unattractive job. Everyday wear. Thicker, tougher glass with commercial-grade aluminum framing handles the daily abuse of a busy entrance.
Minimal disruption installation
We know a closed storefront costs money. Commercial installs are scheduled around your hours — early mornings, evenings, or weekends — and phased so you're never fully exposed. Most storefront replacements complete in days, not weeks, and we coordinate with your property manager or landlord on approvals and access.
Code and insurance angles
Commercial buildings face the same Florida wind codes as homes, and many commercial policies reward verified opening protection. Keep your product approvals and inspection sign-offs — your agent will want them. If your lease makes storefront glass the tenant's responsibility, get the landlord's written approval before we start; we provide the specs they'll ask for.
