In addition, it’s an investment that can modernize a building’s facade, giving it a competitive edge.
Addressing Common Storefront Challenges
We understand that your storefront is the first impression your business makes, and we’re dedicated to making it a great one. We offer glass solutions to address a variety of common storefront issues, such as:
- Outdated Designs
- Many businesses in older Portland neighborhoods, like Hawthorne or the Pearl District, struggle with outdated storefronts that don’t reflect their current brand or attract modern customers. We can help you revitalize your image with a contemporary design.
- Cracked or Damaged Glass
- Cracked or damaged glass not only looks unsightly but also poses a security risk and compromises energy efficiency. Whether it’s a small chip or a major crack, we provide prompt and effective repair solutions.
- Poor Energy Efficiency
- Older storefronts often lack energy-efficient glass, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient glass can significantly reduce your energy bills and create a more comfortable environment.
- Security Concerns
- Businesses along busy corridors like 82nd Avenue or Sandy Boulevard in Portland may have increased security concerns. We can help alleviate this stress. We offer solutions like laminated security glass to enhance the security of your premises.
- Lack of Accessibility
- It’s important that your storefront be accessible to all customers. If that’s a pain point, we can help ensure it is ADA-compliant.
