Commercial Glass Entry Doors: How Long Do They Take to Install?


Commercial glass entry doors have a high-class curb-side appeal that can boost the selling potential of any business, and on top of being visually appealing, glass entry doors are also versatile. But when it comes to installation, plenty of people share the same question: how long do these doors take to install?



Commercial Glass Entry Doors: How Long Do They Take to Install?
The good news is that installing glass entry doors is no more complicated than installing any other type of door, which means the job isn't going to take a whole lot of time to complete. If you are reinstalling glass entry doors, then you can expect the work to take less than a day. For a new installation that involves tearing down the existing door frame, you can expect the installation to take about one full day.



Why Should You Install Commercial Glass Entry Doors?
We know South Floridians appreciate a high-class aesthetic, and what's more sophisticated than a sleek, transparent entryway to give your commercial property a more elevated feel? Glass entry doors come in many style options, from single and double-doors, to the color of the metal frames and different glass types, such as opaque or frosted.



How Do You Know if You Need to Replace Glass Entry Doors?
Although these doors can last about 20 years or more on commercial properties, there will come a time when they need to be replaced. Not sure if your current glass entry doors need replacing? See if one of the following situations applies to your commercial entry.



Thermal Integrity
If there are increased gaps around the door, and that's causing your electric bill to increase to accommodate for the loss of thermal integrity (something especially important for hot Florida summers), then it might be time to get a replacement.



Wear and Tear
General wear and tear on the door can also be a sign to get a replacement. Some wear and tear examples include cracks or fissures, loose hinges, rust, chips, cloudiness, or other damage sustained to the door. Wear and tear can come from age, but also exposure to the elements, such as from hurricanes or storm surges.



Too Much Maintenence
If your door is requiring frequent repairs to keep it in shape, then it might be time to opt for a replacement. The cost of your repairs should never outweigh the value of the door, and it can be a smarter financial decision to replace the door entirely instead of constantly paying to repair various parts of it.

Commercial glass entry doors can add a lot of value and appeal to your commercial property. From commercial residence buildings to everyday storefronts, glass doors elevate the quality of your business and have a slick aesthetic that will draw more people to your business. Fortunately, glass doors are not only affordable and long-lasting, but they are also easy to install, with even the most complicated jobs only taking about a day.
