FAQ
Can you replace just the glass?
Yes—IGU swaps are common when frames are sound. We’ll evaluate seal failure (fogging), cracks, and upgrade options (Low‑E, laminated).
Do we need a vestibule?
Many occupancies benefit from vestibules for energy and comfort. We can add or reconfigure vestibules to reduce air infiltration and meet code where applicable.
What about automatic operators and access control?
We prep for power and coordinate with your access‑control vendor. We install operators, closers, panic bars, and continuous hinges for smooth operation.
Will water leaks stop after new storefronts?
Waterproofing lives in the details. We integrate flashing/sill pans and sealant joints with the wall’s WRB/air barrier to prevent future leaks.
