Storefront Glass Installation in New Orleans

Your storefront is your first impression. Before a customer walks through the door, the glass entrance has already told them something about your business. A clean, well-designed glass storefront communicates professionalism and openness — a damaged or dated one communicates the opposite. Star Glass Inc. installs and repairs storefront glass for businesses throughout the New Orleans metro, from small retail shops in Jefferson Parish to office buildings and restaurants in Orleans Parish.

Storefront Glass Systems We Install

Standard storefront systems combine aluminum framing with large tempered glass panels and a commercial entrance door. These are the most common systems for retail, restaurants, medical offices, and light commercial buildings. They’re cost-effective, durable, and available in a range of frame finishes.

All-glass entrance systems use minimal or no visible framing — the glass panels are supported by patch fittings, pivot hinges, and pull hardware. These systems are more expensive but deliver a high-end, architecturally distinctive look. They’re popular in office lobbies, upscale retail, and hospitality properties.

Glass partitions and interior storefront systems are used for interior office buildouts, conference rooms, and retail dividers. We fabricate and install framed and frameless partition systems.

Impact-rated storefront glazing is required in many areas of coastal Louisiana. We specify and install products that meet the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code impact requirements for wind-borne debris regions.

Storefront Glass Replacement — Frame vs. Glass Only

If your existing storefront glass has been broken or damaged, the first question is whether the frame needs to be replaced or just the glass. In most cases, if the aluminum framing is intact and structurally sound, only the glass panel needs to be replaced. This is dramatically less expensive and faster than a full system replacement.

We assess every situation before recommending a scope of work. We’ll tell you honestly whether glass-only replacement is sufficient or whether the frame needs to go.
