When it comes to replacing storefront glass, you may wonder what the best option is for your business. Commercial storefront glass can be either laminated or tempered glass. Both are stronger than the standard flat glass you likely have in your home. However, in most situations, we recommend laminated glass for extra protection. Laminated glass stands up to strong impacts, like hurricane-force winds.
Laminated commercial storefront glass is like a glass sandwich – it is two or more layers of glass bonded by a layer of plastic or polyvinyl butyral for extra strength and durability. This type of glass is often used for things like windshields and aquariums. Laminated commercial storefront glass is designed to stay in its frame when it breaks. This can help reduce the chance of intrusion and injury.

Chipped or cracked laminated glass may be repairable using our specialized glass repair equipment. To repair, we can inject industry-approved resin into the area to help seal minor damages. For complex damage or chips and cracks in tempered glass, replacement storefront glass is often the best solution to help keep your store safe and secure.
Over time, every type of glass will start to show signs of aging. If your commercial storefront glass looks scratched, hazy, or discolored, it may be time to give your business a face lift with replacement storefront windows.

High-performance storefront glass, such as Low-E (low-emissivity) or insulated glass units (IGUs), is specifically engineered to reflect heat while allowing natural light to pass through. For Houston businesses, this significantly reduces solar heat gain during the summer, lowering the strain on your HVAC system and reducing monthly utility bills. Over time, the energy savings often offset the initial investment of the glass upgrade.
To protect against smash-and-grab crimes and vandalism, we recommend laminated security glass. Unlike standard glass, laminated glass features a tough interlayer that holds the glass shards in place even if the pane is shattered. This creates a significant physical barrier that deters intruders. For high-security environments, we also offer impact-resistant and bullet-resistant glazing options.
Yes. Local building codes, often based on the International Building Code (IBC), require safety glazing in “hazardous locations.” This typically includes all glass doors, sidelights located within 24 inches of a door, and large windows positioned close to the floor. Action Glass ensures all storefront installations comply with these safety standards and Texas windstorm requirements to protect your liability and investment.
Most standard storefront glass repairs or single-pane replacements can be completed within a few hours once the materials are on-site. For full storefront system installations or custom-fabricated insulated units, the process involves precise measurement, off-site fabrication, and professional installation, which can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. We offer 24/7 emergency board-up services to keep your business secure while your custom glass is being prepared.
Regular maintenance is key to longevity. We recommend cleaning the glass with non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaners to avoid damaging specialized coatings. Additionally, it is important to inspect the aluminum framing and perimeter caulking annually for signs of wear or moisture intrusion. Keeping door hardware—such as pivots and closers—lubricated ensures smooth operation and prevents unnecessary stress on the glass panels.
