Project details
The broken lower storefront panel left the business frontage open.
The fixed glass panel below the storefront window was missing after the damage. The immediate priority was to close the ground-level opening before the correct replacement glass could be prepared.
Secured
Temporary protection installed
A fitted protective panel was installed over the lower opening to close and secure the storefront until the correct replacement glass can be installed.

Fixed storefront glass damage questions
Common questions when a fixed storefront panel is broken and the opening needs immediate protection.
Can broken fixed storefront glass be boarded up before replacement?
Yes. Temporary protection can close and secure the opening while the correct replacement pane is measured or prepared.
Does board-up mean the glass replacement is complete?
No. Board-up is temporary protection. The damaged fixed storefront glass still requires permanent replacement.
Can the existing storefront frame stay in place?
That depends on the condition of the aluminum frame, glass stops and surrounding opening. They are assessed before the replacement panel is installed.
