A glass storefront comes with a lot of advantages for your business. Along with the standard storefront design, you have the option to expand the glass on the exterior of your business. Instead of just expanding the glass across the lower level, you could expand up vertically and add new glass installations on higher parts of the store.
Learn some of the advantages of vertically expanding your glass storefront and how you can reap those benefits for years to come.
1. Expanded Natural Light
The higher up your glass windows go, the more light you can let into your business. The natural light adds a nice feeling in the business and will help you cut down on energy costs. It will help your business feel more open and connected to the outside world.
An increase in natural light can help with employee morale and make customers feel happy as well. If your storefront faces the sun for a majority of the day, then you can really take advantage of this natural light. A higher window will allow you to bounce the light off multiple walls and use that light for most of the workday.
2. Displays and Product Protection
A window that sits vertically higher will give you a lot more display space for promotions and items. If you own a retail store, you can hang items in the windows and showcase displays that draw the attention of others in the areas. You could use digital screens to showcase video displays, company logos, and promotions as well.
For example, you could advertise a big sale through a high window and draw attention to your business. If your business is near a strip mall or public parking area, then potential customers could see the signs and window displays from a distance.
The windows set up higher up also offers extra security. For example, if you want to display high-end products in those windows, you do not have to worry about ground level access and the potential theft of products if a window is smashed or broken into. The height of a higher display window adds a natural deterrent from theft and still allows you to showcase options.
3. Professional Look and Curb Appeal
If you want to add some elegance to your storefront, then consider windows that rise up vertically. You can choose from a number of different window designs and shapes as well. For example, along with a standard rectangular or square window, you could choose a curved window like a lunette window.
The window shape can match the shape of the storefront and even fit in with your store branding. You can choose to have one large picture window installed or a window with multiple panels attached. The custom window designs will really help you select a style that matches your business aesthetic and preferences.
You could also choose window designs to go with business signs and other décor on your storefront. For example, you could surround a large picture window with two flag poles that proudly display large flags that hang over the entrance of your business.
The curb appeal of the window can help draw customers to your business and make a difference when you advertise your business. For example, you could have a photographer take full exterior shots of your business and use those images within your advertisements.
