Aluminum storefront framing, and which series an opening in Burlington 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 Burlington 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 Burlington storefront needs, and in what order
Most ground-floor elevations we are asked to price in Burlington 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 Burlington: the price and the date
We install what we supply and we supply on its own — contractors in Burlington 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 Burlington buildings do
The sectors that dominate Burlington — manufacturing, food processing, logistics — each put a different kind of traffic through the front of the building.
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.
Food processing
Front-of-house glazing on a processing plant is a controlled entrance: an aluminum entry into a vestibule, sidelites either side, and hardware that latches every time because the room past it is pressure-controlled. Anodized rather than painted — the finish gets washed as often as the floor does.
Logistics
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.
Corporate offices
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.
Condos & property management
A managed building’s ground-floor elevation is the line on the reserve-fund study nobody wants to open. Usually it does not all need replacing: fogged units, a dropped leaf and a failed perimeter joint account for most of it, quoted separately so a board can see what is repair and what is capital.
Hotels & hospitality
A restaurant front is the marketing, so the framing finish matters as much as the glass — dark anodized or powder-coated aluminum, and a leaf that takes a whole evening of traffic. Installation goes in on the nights the kitchen is closed, and that sequence is quoted with the product rather than after it.

Tell us the elevation — its rough width and height, whether the framing is staying, and what your trading hours are, because the sequence is most of the price. A photo from across the street is enough to start. Working from drawings? Send the glazing and door schedules and we quote to them.
Common questions about storefront doors & glass
What is the standard storefront door size?
The common commercial single leaf is 3′0″ × 7′0″, with pairs made up to 8′0″ wide and 8′0″-tall leaves where equipment has to pass. Aluminum entrance leaves are 1¾″ thick as standard. The framing around the door is not standard at all — it is cut to your rough opening, which is why a storefront is quoted from a site measure rather than from a catalogue.
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 are the different types of commercial storefront doors?
Four cover almost every storefront. A narrow-stile aluminum door gives the most glass and the slimmest look, and is the retail default. A medium- or wide-stile door carries heavier hardware — an exit device, a mortise lock, a closer taking real traffic — and is what an entrance used all day should have. An all-glass (frameless) door has no vertical stiles at all, on patch fittings. And an automatic sliding or swing door is any of the above with an operator on it, which is how a barrier-free entrance is usually answered.
