Aluminum Storefront Doors & Framing Options

Aluminum storefront doors and framing systems are among the most popular choices for commercial buildings due to their durability, structural strength, and low maintenance requirements. Modern aluminum storefront systems provide a sleek, professional appearance while supporting large glass panels that maximize natural light and visibility.

Commercial aluminum storefront doors are engineered to withstand heavy daily traffic in retail stores, office buildings, healthcare facilities, and hospitality environments. These systems can be customized with various finishes, glazing options, hardware configurations, and performance ratings to meet specific design and code requirements.

Aluminum framing systems also offer excellent compatibility with insulated glass units, tempered safety glass, laminated security glass, and energy-efficient glazing solutions.

Storefront vs Curtainwall: What Is Each For?

The choice between aluminum facades and curtain walls depends on the specific needs of the building, including design, functionality and budget. Both are commonly used for the exterior facades of commercial buildings, but they have different purposes and characteristics.

Storefront

These are mainly used for commercial and retail entrances, such as shop windows, lobbies and shop fronts. They are often used for ground-level applications, such as shop fronts or the first two floors of a building.

We can get a combination of frames and glass panels, with narrow horizontal and vertical aluminum frames. They are lightweight but durable, designed to support moderate structural loads and don’t need a deep structure behind them. We can get a Center-Set frame as well as a Front-Set frame, so that the glass is closer to the outside of the building much like a curtainwall system.

Modern aluminum storefronts come with thermal breaks in the frame to improve energy efficiency.

Aluminum storefronts are generally non-load-bearing, easy to install and flexible, and require little maintenance.

Curtainwalls

Curtainwalls are mainly used in skyscrapers and large commercial buildings as an outer shell or facade. They cover entire building facades or several floors and act as a climate barrier. They’re designed to withstand wind, rain and other external elements.

For Colorado Glass and Shower's load-bearing curtainwalls, we use different curtainwall systems. These are non-structural cladding systems attached to the building structure, with a more substantial frame and larger glass panels.

These curtainwalls are designed to span several floors and are load-bearing in the sense that they are attached to the building structure, but the walls themselves do not support significant vertical loads. All of our curtainwalls are constructed with advanced insulating glass units (IGU’s), which can provide better thermal performance compared to storefront systems and offer better weatherproofing.
