Modern Aluminum Storefront Framing in Halton Hills

Your storefront is the face of your business. Old, corroded, or drafty framing not only looks unprofessional but also drives up energy costs. In Halton Hills's harsh climate, with its freeze-thaw cycles and high winds, superior aluminum framing is essential for durability and thermal performance. Installix specializes in aluminum storefront framing, delivering sleek, modern, and energy-efficient entrances that make a powerful first impression.

Why Standard Framing Fails

Thermal Bridging and Condensation

Older aluminum frames often lack proper thermal breaks. This allows cold to transfer directly inside, causing condensation, puddles on your sill, and higher heating bills.

Corrosion and Aesthetic Decline

Salt and moisture can degrade standard anodized finishes over time, leading to pitting and discoloration that detracts from your brand's image.

The Risk of Inaction

Ignoring framing issues can lead to structural shifting, glass cracks, and water infiltration that damages your interior flooring and merchandise.

High-Performance Aluminum Systems

We install precision-engineered aluminum framing systems designed for the Canadian climate. Our solutions prioritize thermal efficiency, security, and modern aesthetics.

Why Choose Installix?

  • Thermally Broken Frames: Advanced insulators separate exterior and interior metal to stop cold transfer.
  • Custom Fabrication: Frames cut and assembled to fit your specific opening requirements perfectly.
  • Durable Finishes: High-quality anodized or powder-coated finishes that resist corrosion and fading.
  • Heavy-Duty Hardware: Reinforced compatibility for high-traffic commercial doors.

Technical Specifications & Options

Feature Details
Frame Depth Standard 4.5" (114.3mm) or Deep 6" (152.4mm) for wind load

Finishes Clear Anodized, Bronze Anodized, Black Powder Coat, Custom Colors

Our Process: From Design to Installation

Step 1: Diagnostics & Measurement

We use laser levels to measure the opening and assess the structural integrity of the surrounding substrate (brick, concrete, or steel).

Step 2: Fabrication / Sourcing

Materials are sourced from top-tier local extruders and fabricated to exact dimensions, ensuring tight joinery and clean lines.

Step 3: Installation & Verification

Our team installs the framing with proper anchoring and shimming. We apply double perimeter caulking for a watertight seal and clean the site thoroughly.

Understanding the Cost

The price of your storefront framing project depends on several variables:

  • Linear Footage: Total length and height of the storefront system.
  • Configuration: Number of doors, transoms, and complexity of the layout.
  • Finish Choice: Standard anodized is most cost-effective; custom colors add premium.
  • Access: Ground floor vs. areas requiring lift equipment.

Value Anchor: Investing in a thermal framing system can reduce your HVAC load by 15-20% compared to non-thermal systems.

Residential vs. Commercial Applications

For Retail & Offices

Focus on maximizing visibility (large glass spans), heavy-duty traffic flow, and branding through custom frame colors.

For Modern Homes

We also adapt commercial framing for residential "window walls" to achieve that industrial, floor-to-ceiling glass look with superior durability.

Our Service Promise

We stand behind our installations with a 5-Year Material Warranty and a 2-Year Labor Warranty. We guarantee WSIB compliance and full liability insurance for every project.

What Our Clients Say

"Tim came by to assess a bay window that had lost its seal. Instead of pushing a full replacement, he measured for just the glass. The internal grid match was exact. He saved us about $2,000 compared to the other quote."

Ihor Kovalchuk

Etobicoke

"We had a landscaping rock go right through our sliding patio door. Danyil arrived to board it up and measured immediately. He was meticulous about cleaning up the broken glass shards from our hardwood and the deck. The new tempered unit was installed a week later and looks perfect."

Oksana Boyko

North York

"We needed a large custom mirror for our home gym. The team handled the tight turn in our basement stairwell perfectly. The mirror is distortion-free and really opens up the room. Professional work."

Vasyl Melnyk

Mississauga

"Tim is a true craftsman. We have old wood casement windows that were foggy and drafty. He replaced the glass carefully without chipping the paint or damaging the stops. It's rare to find tradespeople who treat your home with this much respect."
