Frequently Asked Questions

What glass standard is used in aluminium shop front systems?

All shop front systems use toughened safety glass to IS 2553. For frameless systems, 12mm toughened glass is standard. Laminated glass (for security or acoustic performance) and fire-rated glass are available on request. IS test certificates are supplied with every project.

Do you supply documentation for mall management submission?

Yes. We supply AutoCAD shop drawings (plan, elevation, section at all connections), glass specifications, hardware schedules and NBC 2016 fire egress documentation. This package is accepted by mall management and local authority approval teams across India.

Can shop fronts integrate with automatic sliding doors?

Yes. Our shop front systems are designed to integrate with automatic sliding door operators from leading brands. The frame sections are reinforced at door openings to carry operator loads. We coordinate with automatic door suppliers during shop drawing stage to ensure compatibility.

What is the maximum height for aluminium shop front systems?

Standard shop front systems can be supplied up to 4500mm height for slab-to-slab applications in double-height retail units and atrium-facing store fronts. For heights above 4500mm, structural engineering support is required — we supply wind load calculations and structural drawings for submission.

What finish options are available for shop front aluminium sections?

All aluminium sections are available in powder coat (any RAL colour) or anodised (silver, champagne, bronze, black) finish. For retail banking and luxury brand applications, brushed stainless steel capping is available as an upgrade over standard anodised sections.

Shop Front Design — Structural and Aesthetic Requirements

Aluminium shop front systems for retail, banking branches and commercial showrooms must balance maximum glazing area (for merchandise visibility and brand projection) with structural adequacy for IS 875 Part 3 wind loads and NBC 2016 safety glazing requirements. The key structural challenge in large shop front openings is the horizontal transom above the entrance — this carries the glass load from the full-height glazing above, and its size and section modulus must be confirmed by structural calculation for openings above approximately 3,000mm width.

Glass specification for shop fronts: all glass at ground level and in locations subject to human impact must be toughened to IS 2553 Part 1 minimum. For large prestige retail installations (flagship stores, luxury showrooms), we specify structural sealant glazing (SSG) where the glass is bonded to the frame with structural silicone — no visible perimeter caps — for the cleanest visual result.

Entrance Door Integration

Shop front systems are supplied with integrated entrance door options: single or double leaf aluminium-framed glazed doors, frameless all-glass pivot doors, or automatic sliding door openings. For banking branches and jewellery showrooms, multi-point locking and security glazing (laminated glass to IS 2553 Part 2, or security-rated glass to EN 356) are available within the same shop front frame system. We coordinate with automatic door system suppliers for projects requiring automatic sliding or swing door operators within the shop front frame.
