What to do while you wait.
Keep children, pets, and anyone without proper footwear away from the broken glass. Shards can scatter several feet from the break point.
Glass still attached to the frame can fall without warning and cause deep cuts. Leave loose pieces alone until our technician arrives.
If you must walk near the area, wear closed-toe shoes and work gloves. Thin slippers or bare feet are a serious hazard.
Use a heavy tarp, thick cardboard, or plastic sheeting secured with tape to block wind, rain, and debris until we arrive.
Take photos of the damage from both inside and outside. These help our technician prepare the right glass size and type before arriving.

Overview
Aluminum storefront systems are the backbone of commercial glass facades across the Greater Toronto Area. They combine structural strength, clean sightlines, and weather resistance in a lightweight, low-maintenance package. OhMyGlass Window and Door Repairs repairs and installs aluminum storefront glass for businesses of all sizes - from a single replacement pane in an existing frame to a complete new storefront system. We work with all major framing profiles including narrow stile, medium stile, and wide stile configurations, and offer both thermally broken and non-thermally broken options to suit your building's energy and budget requirements.
Types of Aluminum Storefront Systems
Aluminum storefront framing comes in several standard profiles, each designed for different traffic levels and hardware requirements.
vertical stiles of 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches. Designed for light to moderate traffic locations such as office lobbies and strip mall entrances. Provides maximum glass area and minimal frame visibility.
vertical stiles of 3-1/2 inches. Suited for moderate to heavy traffic in retail stores, restaurants, and medical offices. Balances glass visibility with structural strength.
vertical stiles of 5 inches. Built for heavy traffic in public buildings, schools, and transit facilities. Accommodates panic hardware, closers, and a wider variety of operating hardware.
framing that includes an insulating barrier (typically a polyamide strip) between the interior and exterior aluminum to reduce heat transfer through the frame. Required in many new builds for energy code compliance.
standard aluminum framing without an insulating break. Common in older buildings and non-conditioned spaces.

Why Choose Aluminum Framing for Your Storefront?
Aluminum is the dominant framing material for commercial storefronts for several practical reasons.
extruded 6063-T5 aluminum alloy resists corrosion, warping, and rot, even in Ontario's freeze-thaw climate.
aluminum weighs about one-third as much as steel, reducing structural load on the building and simplifying installation.
anodized or powder-coated finishes hold up for decades without painting or staining.
aluminum extrusions can be manufactured in a wide range of profiles, finishes, and colours to match any architectural style.
aluminum is one of the most recyclable building materials, with no loss of quality when reprocessed.
