A storefront panel is rarely just glass. It carries a framing-system fit, a thickness call, a tempered-versus-laminated-versus-insulated layup decision, and hardware that has to keep working after the new lite is set. When any one of those is misread, the building owner pays twice: once for the wrong glass and once to redo it. Moffat's commercial storefront work is built around getting that decision right the first time, with Moffat technicians handling the install instead of subcontracted crews. We're honest about timing too. Assessment within 2 business days, replacement glass typically ordered same-week, and full repair, replacement, and new-buildout scope on commercial-grade work.
Single-panel storefront glass repair. After a break-in, hail strike, or accident, the most common scope is replacing one broken panel inside an existing storefront system. The rest of the storefront stays intact.
Multi-panel storefront glass replacement. When a hail event takes multiple panels, or a retailer upgrades to laminated for break-in deterrence, we replace multiple lites or full storefront sections to the matching spec. For interior heavy glass alongside the storefront, see our commercial heavy glass walls service.
New storefront glass installation for commercial buildouts. Ground-floor new construction and tenant-improvement work for GCs, architects, and property owners. We coordinate glass spec with the framing-system supplier and schedule install around the buildout sequence. For storefront-adjacent scope, see our commercial window and door installation and repair service.
Tempered, laminated, and insulated layup options. Three commercial layups, each fit to a different scenario; spec depth lives in the next section.
Storefront hardware adjustments. Door sweeps, pivot hinges, panic hardware, weatherstripping, and lock cylinders are scoped alongside the glass.
Low-rise commercial up to four stories. All commercial storefront work is scoped to low-rise buildings up to four stories. High-rise curtain wall and multi-story facade systems are outside what we do.
Tempered glass is heat-treated to roughly 4 to 5 times the strength of annealed glass and breaks into small pebbles per safety code. Standard call for storefront doors, sidelites, and lower-floor windows where impact resistance is required.
Laminated glass bonds two glass plies around a strong inner film, so when it cracks under impact it stays in place. It's the upgrade for hail-prone Northern Colorado storefronts and security-sensitive retailers (jewelry, electronics). Laminated is the strongest hail-resilience choice because it prevents the water intrusion and interior damage that follow a fully shattered opening.
Insulated glass (IGU) seals two plies around a gas-filled air space, meeting Colorado energy-code requirements for new commercial construction and efficiency upgrades. For deeper service depth, see our insulated glass units (IGUs) service. Safety-glazing locations are ordered to ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II per the federal standards Colorado adopts.
Moffat-installed storefront glass lives behind retail boutiques, jewelry and electronics shops, gift and specialty retailers, full-service restaurants, cafes, and quick-service operators along the Fort Collins downtown and Old Town, Loveland centerra and downtown, and Greeley, Evans, Windsor, and Berthoud commercial corridors. We also install at office-building ground-floor entries for professional services, medical offices, law firms, and small office buildings, and at ground-floor commercial spaces inside mixed-use buildings with residential or office above. All commercial work is scoped to low-rise commercial properties up to four stories; high-rise curtain wall and multi-story facade systems are not in our scope.
Since 1921, Moffat has cut, fabricated, and installed custom glass across Northern Colorado, and a century of work in Larimer and Weld County means we've seen the spec calls and damage patterns commercial storefronts produce. The technician who specs your replacement glass is from the same in-house team that installs it. The trust stack: BBB Northern Colorado A+ accredited, NGA member, plus the Shower Door Professionals Co-op and our Greeley and Evans Chamber memberships. Three locations: Evans HQ, Loveland, and Fort Collins.
Commercial storefront hardware comes through FHC (Frameless Hardware Company), our commercial hardware partner for pivots, panic hardware, door sweeps, and locks that keep the opening operating after the new lite is set. Commercial scope is capped at four stories, with assessment scheduled within 2 business days and an industry-standard warranty backed by a century of in-house craft.
Moffat schedules a storefront assessment within 2 business days, with replacement glass typically ordered same-week. The full sequence runs in four steps: a site visit and measurement with spec confirmation within 2 business days, a written quote covering glass type and timeline, a manufacturer order placed once the quote is signed, and an install scheduled to minimize business disruption. Complex layups (laminated, insulated, or specialty thicknesses) can extend the manufacturer-order window to 1 to 2 weeks, and board-up scheduling is coordinated for break-in scenarios. Request a storefront assessment to lock your timeline.
Tempered glass is heat-treated to roughly 4 to 5 times the strength of annealed and breaks into small pebbles; laminated bonds two plies around a strong inner film and stays in place after impact. Tempered fits doors and sidelites; laminated is the upgrade for hail-prone and security-sensitive storefronts. Final layup is confirmed at the on-site assessment.
No. Moffat's commercial work is scoped to low-rise properties up to four stories. That covers ground-floor retail, restaurant, and office storefronts in Northern Colorado mixed-use and low-rise buildings. High-rise curtain wall and multi-story facade systems are outside our scope. If your project fits, request a quote.

For storefronts in Colorado's hail-prone areas, laminated glass is typically the stronger choice. Laminated cracks but stays in place after impact, preventing water intrusion and interior damage. Tempered shatters into safe pebbles but leaves the opening fully open until replaced. We confirm the right layup at the on-site assessment.
Yes. Moffat regularly replaces single broken storefront panels within existing framing systems. After break-ins, hail strikes, or accidents, replacing a single panel keeps the rest of the storefront intact and avoids the cost of a full system replacement. Our assessment confirms framing-system compatibility and identifies whether neighboring panels also need attention. Schedule a single-panel assessment to scope the repair.
Bring commercial-grade install quality, the right glass spec, and an honest timeline to your next storefront project in Northern Colorado. A century of Northern Colorado glass work, in-house technicians on every install, low-rise commercial scope up to four stories, and a written quote signed before any glass is ordered. We'll be on-site within 2 business days to measure, confirm framing-system fit, and walk the tempered, laminated, and insulated layup options for your retail, restaurant, or office storefront across Larimer and Weld County. Single-panel repair, multi-panel replacement, or full new-construction install: same diagnostic-first approach.

They took the time to tell us how to clean the door. We are very happy with Moffat Glass. Thank you Amber for all your help with our shower door. David & Linda"
I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass
"We needed our patio screen door replaced. Moffat answered the phone (something that 3 other businesses did not do), scheduled someone to come measure the same day, manufactured our non-standard sized door and installed it within a week. We have yet to hear from the other businesses we contacted who told us they would 'get right back' to us. The quality of customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly, professional, and expressed appreciation for our business. I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass. They have been in Greeley for a long time and I can see why they have lasted."
I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!
"I'm very thankful to have worked with Moffat glass. I needed a large piece of glass for my hotel with special cuts and Moffat nailed it perfectly!

I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!"
