Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
Glass and aluminum door systems we install in Scarborough
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 Scarborough buildings do
The sectors that dominate Scarborough — light manufacturing, healthcare, retail — each ask something different of their glass and aluminum.
Light manufacturing
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.
Healthcare
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.
Institutional
School and campus doors take generations of traffic: aluminum entrances rebuilt rather than replaced, wired and safety glazing matched when a lite breaks, hardware swapped without losing the frame.
Residential 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 standard size of a commercial glass door?
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. Sliding, folding and curtain-wall openings are not standard at all — they are sized to the opening and measured on site.
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.
What is commercial-grade glass?
It is not one product. "Commercial grade" describes glass processed to meet the code and the duty of the opening rather than ordinary window glass: tempered or laminated where the Ontario Building Code calls for safety glazing, certified to CAN/CGSB-12.1, and sealed into an insulating unit for anything exterior. The difference from residential glass is less the glass itself than the fact that the make-up has to be specified and documented per opening.
