Broken commercial glass & aluminum doors in Richmond Hill: we dispatch 24/7.
Richmond Hill 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.
Glass and aluminum door systems we install in Richmond Hill
Most commercial glass work is one of three aluminum framing systems, and the door is chosen to suit the frame it sits in. Canuck Door Systems supplies, installs and services all of them — here is how they differ, in the order the questions usually come.
Storefront, window and curtain wall framing: the difference
Three frame families glaze most commercial elevations, and they are not interchangeable — each one carries the glass differently, spans differently and is glazed from a different side. Which one an opening needs is usually decided by the building, not by preference.

Glass & aluminum for the work Richmond Hill buildings do
The sectors that dominate Richmond Hill — corporate offices, medical and dental clinics, retail — each ask something different of their glass and aluminum.
Corporate offices
Entrance systems, vestibules and interior glass doors that carry a lobby’s finish — and sealed-unit replacement when a fogged lite starts telling tenants the building is tired.
Medical and dental clinics
Clinic and practice entrances in aluminum framing — barrier-free widths, closers patients can manage — plus fast glass replacement, because a taped-up door in a waiting room reads badly.
Retail
The storefront is the shop: aluminum-framed entrances and display glazing, same-day board-up after a break-in, and replacement glass measured and set without closing the store for long.
Light industrial
Plant offices put glass where supervision needs sightlines — entrance doors with vision lites, glazed office fronts facing the floor — in aluminum framing that shrugs off an industrial interior.
Condos & property management
Lobby entrances are the building’s handshake: aluminum door systems kept aligned and closing, sealed units replaced as they fog, and board-up on call for after-hours breakage.
Hotels & hospitality
Restaurants and hotels sell the view of themselves: storefront glazing and entrance doors that match the brand, repaired around service hours rather than during them.

Common questions about commercial glass & aluminum doors
What is the difference between a storefront, a window wall and a curtain wall?
How far the system spans, and what carries it. A storefront sits inside one storey, anchored into the opening — the ground-floor glazing on a shop or office. A window wall spans slab to slab, one storey at a time, and bears on the floor slab. A curtain wall runs continuously past the slab edges over multiple floors and is hung off the building structure. The framing gets deeper and the anchoring more engineered in that order, which is why the same-looking elevation can be three different products with three different prices.
How strong is storefront glass?
Tempered glass is roughly four times the strength of the same thickness of ordinary annealed glass, and when it does fail it breaks into small blunt pieces rather than shards. That is a safety property, not a security one: tempered glass still comes out of the frame. Where the concern is forced entry or holding the glass in place after impact, the answer is laminated glass — two lites bonded to a plastic interlayer — or a security film applied to the glass already in the opening.
What are the disadvantages of aluminum windows?
Aluminum conducts heat, so an exterior aluminum frame that is not thermally broken will lose heat and condense in a Canadian winter. That is why residential construction largely moved to vinyl — and why commercial construction did not: aluminum carries far larger areas of glass on slim sightlines, does not rust or warp, takes any anodized or powder-coat finish, and survives commercial traffic. The fix for the one real drawback is a thermally broken frame, which we specify on every exterior opening.
