We design, fabricate, and install new entrances and storefronts as well as remodel existing ones; in this particular area of specialty, we feel we possess an unfair advantage. In many cases, through our use of in-house welding equipment, we can efficiently fabricate unconventional geometric framing configurations which might prove troublesome or prohibitively expensive for competitors to attempt. The competition will counter that joining storefront extrusion components by welding them together to form glazing frames is “unnecessary” and that storefront extrusions are designed to be joined together with screws and/or internal brackets. Many will further hypothesize that welding would “burn off” the anodized finish on the aluminum framing material [and if attempted by the inexperienced, this would be true].
