Need protection first?
Storefront still open or unsafe?
Our emergency storefront board-up service protects the opening while replacement glass is arranged. Temporary securing and permanent glass replacement are quoted separately.
Replace the failed fixed pane when the frame can stay.
When the storefront frame, channels and adjacent panels remain serviceable, the damaged fixed pane, sidelite or transom can be replaced without rebuilding the complete business frontage.
Documents after sudden damage
Keep the original damage photos and emergency-securing records after a break-in, vandalism, storm or impact. BoardUp can provide job photos and an itemized replacement invoice; your insurer or adjuster determines coverage and claim requirements.
Replacement after damage, break-in or emergency cover
A storefront may need replacement after a smash-and-grab, vandalism, accidental impact, cracked frontage glass or temporary board-up. Once the opening is secure, the correct glass replacement can begin.
BoardUp handles fixed storefront panes, business window glass, sidelites and transoms across Toronto and the GTA.
Storefront areas we replace
- Fixed storefront glass panes
- Retail and restaurant front windows
- Fixed entrance-adjacent glass
- Storefront sidelites and transoms
- Office and plaza frontage glass
The frame and fixed opening matter
The glass is only one part of the storefront system. We check the aluminum frame, glazing stops, channels and adjacent fixed panels before the final pane is installed.
Storefront replacement depends on the business opening
A restaurant storefront, retail window, office frontage and plaza unit can all need different glass, different access planning and different timing. The replacement has to match the existing storefront system and keep the business protected while the work is prepared.
Restaurant frontage
Broken dining-area panes and fixed street-facing glass that affect safety and presentation.
Large fixed storefront panes
Business-front glass panels that remain fixed within the storefront framing system.
Storefront sidelites and transoms
Fixed glass beside or above an entrance that forms part of the business frontage.
What we check before the new storefront glass goes in
Before storefront glass replacement, we review the parts of the opening that control fit, safety and function. This prevents the final glass from being treated like a generic pane.
- Opening size and glass edge condition
- Aluminum frame and glazing channel condition
- Glazing stops, seals and exposed edges
- Glass type needed for the location
- Temporary cover or board-up condition until replacement
What determines the replacement schedule?
We confirm the opening measurements, frame condition and required glass before arranging installation. The replacement schedule depends on the correct panel being available.
- Glass specification: panel dimensions, glass type and thickness determine the replacement order.
- Frame condition: damaged channels, stops or surrounding framing are assessed before the new pane is fitted.
- Custom glass or further frame work: temporary protection stays in place when needed while the final repair is prepared.
This page focuses on fixed storefront glass.
Use Storefront Glass Replacement for fixed business-front panes, retail and restaurant windows, sidelites and transoms. If the broken glass is inside a swinging or operating commercial entrance door, use Entry Door Glass Replacement.

What businesses ask before fixed storefront glass replacement
How is storefront glass replacement priced?
The quote depends on panel size, glass type and thickness, frame condition, access and any special-order requirements. Call or send photos for an initial estimate. Site measurements confirm the final specification, and we confirm the scope, applicable taxes and total price before work begins. Temporary board-up is quoted separately.
Can you replace the glass without replacing the whole storefront?
Yes, when the existing frame, glazing channels and adjacent panels remain serviceable. We assess their condition before confirming whether the damaged fixed pane, sidelite or transom can be replaced on its own.
What storefront glass does this page cover?
This service covers fixed storefront windows, business-front panes, sidelites and transoms.
What if the broken glass is inside an operating entry door?
Use Entry Door Glass Replacement for glass inside a swinging or operating commercial entrance door.
Do you replace storefront sidelites and transoms?
Yes. Fixed glass beside or above an entrance can be measured and replaced as part of the storefront frontage.
Can the storefront stay protected until the fixed glass is ready?
Yes. Temporary cover or board-up can remain in place while the replacement pane is measured and prepared.
Can you replace fixed glass for restaurants, shops and offices?
Yes. BoardUp handles fixed commercial frontage glass for restaurants, retail stores, offices, plazas and other GTA businesses.
Is this different from emergency storefront board-up?
Yes. Emergency storefront board-up provides temporary protection for an exposed opening. This service replaces the fixed glass to restore the commercial frontage. The two services are quoted separately.
