Anaheim Elite Windows provides professional commercial storefront & curtain wall in Anaheim, CA for residential and commercial properties across Orange County. Commercial storefront glass is engineered to a design pressure, inspected by the building department, and usually has to go in without closing the business. That combination is why it is a different trade from residential window replacement, and why the crew doing your house is not automatically the crew for your retail unit. The systems themselves are aluminum.
Storefront framing comes in nominal one-inch and two-inch depths, non-thermal or thermally broken depending on what the energy code requires for the project, glazed with insulated, tempered, laminated or spandrel units depending on the location in the facade. Window wall spans floor to floor and sits between slabs.
Curtain wall hangs off the building structure and passes continuously across the slab edges, which is a genuinely different engineering problem with different anchors, different movement joints and different water management. Getting that distinction right at the estimate stage is the difference between a job that goes in cleanly and one that leaks at the second floor for a decade. Entrances are their own discipline.
Doors, closers, pivots or offset hinges, thresholds, panic hardware where the occupancy requires it, and ADA-compliant opening force and clear width all have to work together, and a door that is out of adjustment is both a liability and the first thing a tenant complains about. We service and adjust as well as install, which for a property manager is usually the more useful relationship. Compliance and paperwork are part of the scope, not an extra.
Replacement glazing on an existing commercial building has to satisfy the nonresidential envelope requirements, so the glass gets specified to those and documented. We put together permit drawings, product cut sheets and submittal packages for the building department, and where the owner's insurer wants product approvals or test data, we supply those too. Nobody enjoys this part.
It is also the part that determines whether your job gets signed off or sits waiting on a plan check comment. The property types we work with across Orange County are retail centers, restaurants, medical suites, professional offices, light industrial buildings, and apartment, condo and HOA common areas. Scheduling is usually the real constraint.
A storefront that has to stay open during trading hours gets glazed at night or over a weekend, and we will quote it that way rather than pretend a daytime install will not cost the tenant a day. For owners and managers with several buildings and a history of repeat glass losses, a scheduled replacement program beats a string of emergency calls: we hold the specifications, we know the sizes, and the response is faster and cheaper.
Emergency work follows the same pattern as residential, only with longer lead times. A broken tempered storefront lite gets boarded and secured the same day, and the permanent glass follows once the custom lite is fabricated. If somebody promises you a same-day permanent replacement on a large custom tempered unit, ask them where they are getting the glass.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, laminated safety glass, NFRC-labeled U-factor and SHGC ratings — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anaheim and nearby communities including Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial storefront & curtain wall
The difference between commercial storefront & curtain wall that lasts and commercial storefront & curtain wall that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Anaheim job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
