Bolton is roughly a 40-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area — so a truck is usually on site the same day.
Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
Aluminum storefront framing, and which series an opening in Bolton takes
Framing is bought by series, and three things separate one from the next: how deep the frame is, where the glass sits in that depth, and how the corners go together. None of it shows from the pavement; all of it sets the price.
The hardware in a storefront entrance, and what goes first
The glass and the framing almost never fail. What wears out on an entrance in Bolton is the ironmongery holding the leaf up and pulling it shut, and that is what most storefront service calls turn out to be.
Why a storefront leaks, and it is almost never the glass
Aluminum framing is a drained system, not a sealed one. Water gets past the outer face, runs down an internal gutter behind the glazing pocket and leaves through weeps at the sill. When it shows up inside, one of those three stages has been interrupted — and new glass fixes none of them.
What a 25-year-old Bolton storefront needs, and in what order
Most ground-floor elevations we are asked to price in Bolton do not need replacing. The useful question at the survey is which three or four things are due now, and in what order.
Supplying a storefront in Bolton: the price and the date
We install what we supply and we supply on its own — contractors in Bolton who hang their own buy the package cut and prepped to the schedule. Four things move the number more than size does.

Storefronts for the work Bolton buildings do
The sectors that dominate Bolton — advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution, construction and trades — each put a different kind of traffic through the front of the building.
Advanced manufacturing
A plant’s storefront is the front office bolted onto a steel building, and the two halves age differently. The framing is usually sound; what lets water in is the joint where aluminum meets precast. The elevation can be rebuilt without touching the production wall behind it.
Logistics and distribution
The elevation on a distribution building is the office end of it — a glazed entrance and a window band onto the visitor lot, everything behind it steel. It sees less traffic than a shop door and more abuse than anyone plans for, because it is also the door drivers come through with paperwork in both hands.
Construction and trades
Contractors price storefront off the glazing and door schedules, and three answers set the number: which series the elevation is drawn in, what the glass make-up is, and the date it lands on site. Supply-only is normal here — a crew that hangs its own doors buys the package prepped.
Retail and commercial services
This is the opening the system was drawn for: a narrow-stile leaf, the widest glass the opening allows, and a closer sized to the door traffic rather than to the frame. The work happens after close, bay by bay and hoarded overnight, so the store trades in the morning.
Offices & business parks
A business-park elevation is the whole ground floor — entrance doors, a transom above and a window band running either side, thermally broken where the lobby is heated. Tenant turnover is what brings us back: a new sign, a new cylinder, and often a new entrance in an existing frame.
Healthcare & clinics
A clinic entrance is judged on whether a patient can get through it: clear width, opening force and a power operator, with the framing built to carry the operator header from the start. Adding one afterwards to framing that was never drawn for it is the expensive version of the same door.

Common questions about storefront doors & glass
How much does an aluminum storefront cost?
It depends on the glazed area, the glass make-up, whether the framing is thermally broken, how many doors are in it and what hardware they carry — a single door in existing framing and a rebuilt elevation are not the same order of number, so a "from" price would mislead. Two things move it more than buyers expect: a thermally broken frame, and working after hours to keep the store trading. We measure and send a firm, itemised quote at no charge.
Can an aluminum storefront be fire-rated?
A standard aluminum storefront cannot carry a fire label. Aluminum softens well below the temperature a rated assembly has to survive, so where an opening needs a rating we put a labelled hollow-metal or rated wood assembly in it instead, with rated vision glazing if it still has to be seen through. Specialist steel-framed fire-rated glazing systems exist for glazed rated openings; they are a different product and a different price from ordinary storefront framing.
What is a commercial storefront system?
A storefront system is the glazed wall at the front of a building, made as one assembly: extruded aluminum framing anchored into the opening, glass set into that framing, and one or more aluminum entrance doors hung in it. It sits inside a single storey and is anchored to the opening around it, which is what separates it from a curtain wall — a curtain wall runs past the floor slabs and hangs off the building structure instead.
