Storefront systems.
Extruded aluminum framing, glazed your way — monolithic, insulated or NOA-rated impact glass — with entrance doors and panic hardware built in. Measured, fabricated and installed on your schedule, not ours.
The glass wall your business trades behind.
A storefront is the one wall of your building that has to do everything at once: show off the merchandise, move customers in and out, shrug off a Category 5 and survive a crowbar at 3 a.m. We build ours on extruded aluminum storefront framing sized to your elevations, with entrance doors, closers and panic hardware integrated into the same system — one contractor, one warranty, one point of accountability. Because our family's V&V Windows & Doors factory fabricates the glazing, GCs and owners deal directly with the people cutting the glass.
In the high-velocity hurricane zone, laminated impact glazing earns its keep twice. The same interlayer that keeps wind-borne debris out of your sales floor in September stops a smash-and-grab in February — the glass may crack, but it stays in the frame and the intruder stays outside. Add insulated Low-E units and the system also pulls double duty against the Miami sun, trimming HVAC load across every square foot of exposure.
Key features
Frame system
Heavy-wall extruded aluminum storefront framing — clear, bronze or black anodized plus custom powder-coat; thermally improved profiles available.
Glazing options
Monolithic tempered, insulated Low-E units, or laminated impact glass — clear, gray, bronze or reflective, specified per elevation.
Wind & impact rating
Miami-Dade NOA impact assemblies engineered for HVHZ design pressures — Florida Building Code compliant with no shutters to deploy.
Thermal & solar performance
Low-E coatings, insulated glazing and tint packages that cut solar heat gain, glare and the cooling bill behind all that glass.
Storefronts we've opened across the tri-county.
Storefront questions, answered.
In the high-velocity hurricane zone — all of Miami-Dade and Broward — new storefront glazing must meet Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements. A Miami-Dade NOA impact assembly satisfies that with laminated glass in the frame itself, so there is nothing to deploy before a storm and the same glazing resists smash-and-grab break-ins every night of the year.
It depends on the glazing spec and frame finish. Standard finishes with monolithic or insulated glass move fastest; NOA impact assemblies and custom colors add fabrication time. We field-measure, confirm the spec and give you a written schedule with your estimate — and we hold the dates we give you.
Yes — most of our storefront work happens at night, on weekends or in phases, one bay at a time. Openings are secured or boarded between shifts so you trade during the day and we build after hours. Tell us your hours and we schedule around them.
We do. General contractors and property managers can send drawings, elevations and glazing specs to daniel@castillaglass.com and we return a line-item proposal — engineering, product data and NOA documentation included where required.
Request a free estimate. We visit the site, measure every opening, talk through glazing and hardware options and put an exact number in writing. No obligation, and you hear back from us within 24 hours.

Storefront framing handles most street-level elevations — but taller facades, interior build-outs and heavy-traffic entrances each have a better tool. Compare systems, or let us spec the mix on your free site visit.
