Aluminum Shop Front Windows for Retail Storefronts
t405-19

Aluminum shop front windows are large glazed frames made from extruded aluminum that form the face of a retail storefront. They are durable, resist corrosion, and can be designed in slim profiles that show off your merchandise and your brand. Techno Kol Uzi manufactures them to measure in Tel Aviv, after an on-site survey of your shop.
Why aluminum suits a shop front
Aluminum is light, strong, and does not rust, which makes it a practical choice for a storefront that faces sun, rain, and daily use. Its slim profiles allow wide panes of glass with less visible framing, so more of your window display is seen from the street.
- Corrosion resistance in coastal air
- Clean, modern lines
- Long service life with low upkeep
Aluminum also takes a wide range of powder-coated finishes, so the frame can match your signage and interior.
Design options for retail storefronts
A shop front can be a single fixed panel, a sliding or swing door set, or a combination of fixed glass and an entrance door. The right arrangement depends on how much glass you want, how customers enter, and how the shop opens to the street.
Think about the sightlines, the height of the display, and where the door sits relative to the window. A good design balances transparency with the structural strength the wall above needs.
Glazing choices and safety
The glass is as important as the frame. Options include clear or tinted glass, laminated glass for security and sound reduction, and insulated units that help the shop stay comfortable in hot months. Laminated or toughened glass is often the better choice for large panes near public walkways.
The exact glass thickness and specification are calculated for each opening by our engineer, based on size, wind load, and use. We do not guess these values from a catalogue.
The process from inquiry to installation
Send us photos of your current shop front and a rough idea of the opening. We then visit the site to take exact measurements, check the wall structure, and note any obstacles such as signage or ducts.
- Inquiry with photos
- On-site measurement
- Drawing and written specification
- Your approval
- Production in our factory
- Finishing and installation
Working this way means the frame is cut and assembled to the real opening, not to an estimate.
Finishing and maintenance
Our aluminum work is finished with powder coating, which gives an even, durable colour that resists chipping and fading. Choose a colour that suits your brand and the building around you.
Maintenance is simple. Wash the frames and glass with mild soapy water every few months, avoid abrasive cleaners, and check the seals and drainage slots once a year so water does not collect inside the frame.
Who orders shop front windows
Our storefront work serves shop owners, building committees, contractors, architects, and interior designers. Each group has different priorities: owners often focus on look and daily use, while architects and contractors look closely at structure, tolerances, and how the frame meets the wall.
Whoever you are, we will talk through the design with you in plain terms and confirm the details in writing before production begins.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a custom aluminum shop front take to make?
Timing depends on the size of the job and the finish you choose. We confirm the schedule with you in the written specification after the site visit.
Can the aluminum frame be painted in my brand colour?
Yes. We use powder coating, so you can choose from a range of colours to match your signage and branding.
Is laminated glass necessary for a shop window?
Not always, but it is a strong choice for large panes near public walkways because it holds together if broken. Our engineer will advise based on your opening.
Do you measure on site before quoting?
Yes. We visit the shop to measure the opening and check the wall, so the design and specification are based on the real site conditions.
Common mistakes to avoid
Ordering a frame from a rough measurement or ignoring the wall structure often leads to poor fit and sealing problems. Always have the opening measured on site before choosing glass and finish.
Our recommendation
Decide on the entrance and display layout first, then let the frame design follow. Ask for a written specification that lists the glass type and finish before you approve production.
