At Ameri Glass, we install hurricane-impact storefronts that protect your business during severe weather while preserving a modern, professional look. Serving Greater New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, our durable glass systems are engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris which gives you confidence that your storefront is both secure and stylish.
Impact glass provides more robust defense against storms, wind, and debris. Multi-layer laminated designs maintain their integrity, lowering the risk of damage and injury. These glass systems also support better thermal comfort, insulation, and noise reduction. Added protection against water intrusion keeps storefronts operational during tough conditions. Certified impact-grade glass meets strict standards, so properties remain secure all year.
Storefronts are tailored to each location. Options include insulated laminated, monolithic laminated safety, and advanced glazing for maximum durability. Clear, tinted, and reflective glass choices fit a range of branding needs. Framing systems include sturdy aluminum, spline, and tie rod designs. Door hardware upgrades such as latch kits, rim panics, and closing panels enhance both everyday use and security. Precise design coordination delivers a storefront that matches brand image while defending against severe weather.
All hurricane storefronts installed meet or exceed Greater New Orleans code requirements. Teams stay informed about local and regional standards, including High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) guidelines. Every system is engineered with impact-tested components, reinforced frames, and weather-resistant glazing. This ensures code compliance and readiness for inspection.
Certified installers begin each project with exact measurements and custom fabrication for accuracy. Reinforced aluminum framing, base rails, and advanced glazing systems are integrated for lasting performance. Safety-rated glass panels are fitted to withstand extreme winds and debris. Hardware such as rim panics and closers adds security without sacrificing style. Projects proceed on schedule and minimize disruptions, producing storefronts prepared for storm season.
Built for resilience, hurricane storefronts provide year-round protection. Regular inspections of seals, framing, and coatings support ongoing performance. Laminated glass resists staining, and corrosion-resistant aluminum handles humidity and moisture. Routine cleaning keeps sightlines clear and preserves property aesthetics. Owners receive maintenance guidance and tips for extending service life.

The timeline depends on the size of the storefront and customization needs, but most projects can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks once materials are ready.
