Modern Aluminum Storefront Framing in Scugog
Your storefront is the face of your business. Old, corroded, or drafty framing not only looks unprofessional but also drives up energy costs. In Scugog'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.

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.
