Think about a champagne flute. The glass it is made from is so fine and dainty. Now, think about the front window of a store. That glass is incredibly thick and durable in order to resist wind and weather. It's amazing how different these two types of glass are.
Do you know what else is amazing? The fact that glass has been made in the United States since the Colonial era. That's right — there was a glass factory in the colony of Jamestown in the 1600s! We won't claim to be as awesome as these early glass artisans, but we are good at supplying you with information about glass. You can find that information here, on this blog.
If you're preparing to build a clothing store, or if you're turning a different commercial building into a clothing store, then you will more than likely want to hire a commercial glass company to help you. These are just some of the different types of work that a commercial glass company can help with to turn your business into a great clothing store.
Building a Glass Storefront
First of all, for clothing stores, it's often a good idea to have a glass storefront. Then, people who are walking by your store -- such as if you're located in a mall, shopping center, or busy downtown area - will be able to see the clothing that you have for sale. In fact, you can even set up clothing displays in the front windows. Before you can do this, you will first need to be sure that you have a glass storefront.
You will probably need to have your glass storefront custom-built, since you'll want to be sure that the glass is properly sized and set up for the size of your building. Luckily, a commercial glass company can take measurements, talk to you about what you want your glass storefront to look like, and come up with a great design. Then, they can install your glass storefront for you.
Installing Decorative Glass
Naturally, you'll want the inside of your clothing store to look nice. One way you can do this is by installing decorative glass. Decorative glass separators can be used to create different areas of your store, such as if you want to separate men's and women's clothing sections in an attractive way. Decorative glass can be installed on the walls and can otherwise be used to make your clothing store look great.
Installing Mirrors
Of course, you will probably want to have mirrors in your clothing store that your customers can use when they're shopping. If you sell accessories, you'll want to set up mirrors near their displays so people can try on jewelry, sunglasses, belts, hats, and more. Naturally, you'll want to install mirrors in the dressing rooms. Additionally, you should install mirrors near clothing racks. This makes it easy for your customers to get an idea of how your clothing items and other merchandise will look on them. Luckily, many companies that install glass will also install mirrors.
Contact a commercial glass company today, and they can help you turn your clothing store into the establishment that you want it to be in these ways and more.
