Do you coordinate retail storefront work with shopping center landlords and property managers?

Yes. We regularly work directly with landlord property managers, regional retail PMs, and national facilities teams on permits, finish approvals, and after-hours mall access for tenant storefront work. Our PMs handle landlord design-criteria submittals, COI requests, and loading dock scheduling for national retailers across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Can you match existing center-wide storefront finishes and landlord design standards?

Yes. We match anodized and painted aluminum finishes, low-E glass tints, entrance door styles, and storefront reveal depths to landlord design criteria for consistent center-wide appearance. Our fabrication shop color-matches to Kynar 500 and AAMA 2605 standards so new in-line tenant buildouts blend with existing mall and shopping center storefronts.

What is a storefront in commercial construction?

A commercial storefront is a ground-floor aluminum-framed glazing system installed between structural columns to create the exterior facade of retail, restaurant, and multi-tenant commercial spaces. Storefront systems include the aluminum storefront frame, tempered or insulated glass, entrance doors, sidelites, and transoms. South Jersey Glass & Door installs Kawneer storefront, YKK AP, Tubelite, and EFCO systems for shopping centers and strip malls across NJ, PA, and DE.

What are the ADA automatic door opener requirements for retail stores?

ADA requires that automatic door openers at retail entrances comply with ANSI A156.19 for low-energy operators or ANSI A156.10 for full-energy power-operated doors. Requirements include a minimum 32-inch clear opening, hold-open time of at least 5 seconds, safety sensors to prevent contact, and accessible activation devices. SJG&D installs AAADM-certified automatic entrances with annual safety inspections for retail properties across the tri-state area.

How does Kawneer storefront compare to other commercial aluminum framing systems?

Kawneer storefront systems like the Trifab series offer high thermal performance, narrow sightlines, and compatibility with a wide range of glass types. YKK AP, Tubelite, and EFCO offer similar thermally broken aluminum framing with different profile depths, finish options, and hardware integration. South Jersey Glass & Door is factory-trained on all four systems and helps GCs and architects select the right aluminum storefront frame for each retail project's budget and performance spec.

Can you replace broken storefront glass for a retail store on an emergency basis?

Yes. Our 24/7 emergency service line dispatches storefront glass replacement crews to retail locations across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, typically within hours. We stock tempered, laminated, and insulated commercial storefront windows so most retail glass doors and entrance panels can be fully restored within 24 to 48 hours of the initial call.
