Curtain Wall Aluminum Framing

Aluminum Framing for Commercial Building Facades:

Curtain wall systems use aluminum framing to create large glazed exterior facades while providing a defined structural framework for the glass system. For architects, developers, and contractors, curtain wall framing must be coordinated with the building’s architectural design, dimensions, glass requirements, and surrounding facade construction.

Glazenix provides commercial curtain wall installation and coordinates the associated aluminum framing as part of the glazing scope.

Curtain wall applications are common in:

  • Office buildings
  • Multi-story commercial properties
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Retail developments
  • Institutional buildings
  • Modern commercial facades

Aluminum Framing for Commercial Windows

Reliable Framing for Commercial Glazing

Commercial windows require more than the glass itself. The framing system plays an important role in how the glazing integrates with the surrounding building construction. Glazenix provides aluminum framing and commercial window installation for new construction and renovation projects.

Our team can coordinate framing requirements around:

  • Window dimensions
  • Glass specifications
  • Existing openings
  • Architectural design
  • Adjacent construction
  • Installation conditions
  • Replacement requirements
  • Project scheduling

For renovation projects, we can also evaluate the existing glazing conditions and coordinate replacement framing where required.

 

Architectural Aluminum Framing

Combine Glass, Aluminum & Architectural Design

Aluminum framing allows architects to create visually consistent glazing systems while maintaining the practical framework required to support glass. Framing profiles, sightlines, configurations, and finishes can all influence the appearance of the finished installation.

Glazenix works with architects, contractors, developers, and other project professionals to coordinate aluminum framing with the intended architectural design.

Applications can include

  • Glass Facades:

Coordinate aluminum framing with expansive glazed commercial facades.

  • Storefronts:

Create clean glass-and-aluminum storefront systems for retail and commercial spaces.

  • Interior Glazing:

Use aluminum framing for interior partitions, entrances, and other architectural glass applications.

 

Commercial Windows

Integrate aluminum framing with commercial window systems.

Glass Railings

Coordinate aluminum components with glass railing and guardrail systems where applicable.

 

Aluminum Framing for Commercial Renovations

Upgrade Aging Glass & Framing:

Older commercial properties may have outdated, damaged, or deteriorating glazing and framing systems. Replacing the framing along with the glass can provide a more comprehensive improvement than replacing individual panes alone, depending on the existing conditions and project requirements.

Glazenix provides aluminum framing services for commercial renovation and improvement projects, including:

  • Storefront upgrades
  • Commercial window replacement
  • Glass replacement
  • Building improvements
  • Tenant improvements
  • Entrance renovations
  • Exterior facade improvements

We work around existing conditions to help determine the appropriate scope for the property.
