Aluminum Storefronts & Entrances

Storefront and entrance systems frame the glass at a building's street level: fixed glazing, doors, sidelites and transoms set in aluminum. They are the part of a building people walk through and notice first, so fit, operation and finish matter as much as the glass itself.

USGA Inc. installs aluminum storefronts and entrances on commercial, hospitality, education, civic and multi-family projects across the Bay Area, working alongside the general contractor from early coordination through closeout.
