Professional specifications, installation guide & design solutions
Commercial-grade aluminium systems — Kawneer, YKK AP and equivalent storefront, entrance and curtain wall lines — for retail, office, mixed-use and institutional buildings. We fabricate storefront and curtain wall equal to Kawneer from stock, build commercial doors with the hardware the use requires, and install across the five boroughs, Long Island and New Jersey.
We carry multiple premium manufacturers for these products including:
Each brand offers distinct advantages in performance, design, and price point. We can help you choose the perfect fit for your project.
Proper installation is critical for optimal performance. Our installation team provides:
Installation includes sealing and flashing the perimeter of the opening, because a window is only as watertight as the junction between it and the building. Where an opening needs more than that — a failed sill, damaged masonry, a detail that was wrong to begin with — see waterproofing.

Every window and door we sell falls into one of three product lines — budget, standard, premium — sorted by whose components are in it. Commercial aluminium — Kawneer, YKK AP and the equivalent storefront, entrance and curtain wall systems — is standard line by definition: every system is tested, published and specified by part number, with named closers, locks and glass. Standard-duty storefront and distributor-stock doors serve tenant fit-outs at close to budget pricing; heavy-duty entrances, structurally glazed curtain wall, stainless-clad doors and custom mullion profiles are premium work.
We fabricate storefront and curtain wall equal to Kawneer from stock, build and hang commercial doors with the hardware the use requires, and install the systems on new buildings and replacements: the Kawneer storefront and corner curtain wall on 3915 Flatlands Avenue, the full-frontage custom storefront opposite Kings Plaza at 2461 Flatbush Avenue, the ground-floor curtain wall and entrances at 300 East 50th Street, and the storefront and ACM facade at Grand Prix Custom. See storefront systems, curtain wall and commercial doors.
Send us the window or door schedule, or photographs of the openings with rough sizes, and tell us the building type and whether there is an architect, a co-op board or the Landmarks Commission involved. We come back with the series that fits, the glass and hardware named, a price, and the lead time. If a different system suits the job better we say so. We survey before fabrication, produce shop drawings for approval, fabricate or order to survey, and install with our own crews; for projects outside our installation area we supply by container.

Storefront, entrance and curtain wall systems from Kawneer, YKK AP and equivalent manufacturers: tested, published systems specified by part number for retail, office and institutional buildings.
We fabricate and install Kawneer and Kawneer-equivalent storefront and curtain wall; the specification decides which.
Storefront sits on the floor slab and fills a one-storey opening; curtain wall hangs from the structure across floors. The storefront vs curtain wall comparison on this site explains the choice.
A closer (Norton, LCN), a commercial lock (Adams Rite), continuous or heavy-duty hinges, a pull, and a panic device and accessible lever where the code requires.
Two to six weeks for standard storefront and doors from stock; longer for curtain wall, custom finishes and structural glazing.
