Featured case study: San Antonio Commercial Restaurant
How Oridow Customized the Storefront System to Meet Project Requirements
Project Overview
Location: San Antonio, Texas, USA
Application: Commercial Restaurant & Bar Project
Products Supplied: Commercial Double-Action Doors & Custom Storefront Systems
Key Requirements: ADA Compliant Thresholds, 10″ Min Bottom Rail Code
The Challenge & Oridow’s Solution
Commercial projects in Texas demand strict adherence to local building codes, accessibility laws, and heavy foot-traffic durability:
Strict Code Compliance: We customized the entrance using Oridow commercial solutions, with a 10″ minimum bottom rail (combining a 7″ base rail with a 3″ extension) and an ADA-compliant saddle threshold to ensure effortless pass for city inspection.
Heavy Traffic Performance: Equipped with Grade 1 hydraulic closers and UL-listed panic bars, providing smooth double-action operation for high-frequency restaurant guests while maintaining emergency safety.
Custom Aesthetic: Engineered with custom lattice grids and architectural black powder coating to match the client’s modern industrial interior design.
Full Hardware Compliance: Safety, Fire Code & Accessibility
Heavy-Duty Commercial Door Closer
Grade 1 surface-mounted hydraulic closers (interior mounted) with adjustable closing speeds and 150kg load capacity, fulfilling fire and safety entry requirements.
UL-Listed Panic Bar (Panic Push Hardware)
Ensures emergency exit compliance for commercial/assembly spaces, featuring smooth push-to-open operation from the inside.
ADA-Compliant Saddle Threshold
Max 1/2" height with a 1:2 bevel slope to ensure seamless wheel access and pass local inspection
10" Minimum Bottom Rail
Custom 7" base rail + 3" matching black aluminum extension panel to meet local storefront codes.
Custom Commercial Pull Handles
Available in various architectural finishes (e.g., matte black, brushed stainless) and lengths to complement your storefront aesthetic.
High-Traffic Security Locksets
Complete commercial-grade locksets featuring robust panic hardware, keyed cylinders, and integrated safety functions.
Thermal break aluminum Profile
2.0mm Wall Thickness
PA66 Structural Polyamide
Powder Coating /PVDF
Heavy-Duty Structural Profile
Built with a 2.0 mm aluminum extrusion wall thickness to provide the strength and rigidity required for commercial storefront framing and high-use entrance systems.
Polyamide Thermal Barrier
Features a high-performance polyamide (PA66) thermal break strip that structurally separates the interior and exterior aluminum frames, effectively stopping thermal bridging
Superior Energy Efficiency
Dramatically reduces heat transfer (U-Factor Improvement), minimizing winter heat loss and summer solar heat gain to lower commercial HVAC operating costs.
Condensation Control
Keeps the interior frame surface warm, preventing moisture buildup, mold, and interior condensation in cold climate zones.
Energy efficient Insulated LowE Glass
Double/Triple Glazed
Insulated Glass Units (IGU) with Argon Gas Infill
Low-E Coatings
Single, Double, or Triple Silver Low-E Glass Options
Safety & Soundproofing
SGCC Certified Toughened / Laminated Safety Glass (STC 35-45+)
Solar Heat Gain Control
Blocks up to 75% of harmful UV rays and radiant solar heat, significantly cutting cooling loads.
Acoustic Performance
Laminated insulated glass reduces exterior street noise by up to 40dB for commercial storefronts.
Certified Safety & Durability:
Fully tempered/toughened safety glass compliant with ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 standards.
Thermal Insulation (U-Factor)
Low U-values optimized to meet strict regional energy codes (Title 24, IECC, NFRC standards).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your commercial storefront doors and framing meet US building codes and ADA requirements?
Yes. Our storefront systems are engineered to meet strict US commercial building codes. We offer ADA-compliant saddle thresholds (max 1/2″ bevel), 10″ minimum bottom rails, Grade 1 hydraulic closers, and UL-listed panic exit hardware. Full NFRC thermal performance ratings and SGCC glass certification documents are provided upon request.
Can you customize the storefront dimensions, finishes, and grid designs according to architectural drawings?
Absolutely. Every storefront system is 100% custom-built. You can send us your CAD drawings or architectural elevations, and our engineering team will tailor the frame dimensions, mullion layouts, glass specifications, and surface finishes (such as powder coating or PVDF) to match your precise design.
What glass and thermal options are available for energy efficiency?
We provide thermally broken aluminum (2.0mm thickness) paired with Double or Triple Glazed Insulated Glass Units (IGU). Options include Low-E coatings (Single, Double, or Triple Silver), Argon gas infill, and Laminated Safety Glass to meet regional energy efficiency codes.
Do you provide shop drawings before manufacturing begins?
Yes. Before production starts, our engineering department provides comprehensive 2D CAD shop drawings and section details for your review and approval. This ensures all rough openings, hardware locations, and structural connections align perfectly with your project on site.
What is thelead time and shipping process for US commercial projects?
Standard production typically takes 3 to 4 weeks after CAD drawing approval. Ocean freight to major US ports takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks. We provide door-to-door (DDP) shipping directly to your job site, complete with sea-worthy crate packaging to ensure safe delivery.
What warranty and installation support do you offer?
We offer a 10-year warranty on aluminum frames, 5-year warranty on commercial hardware and 1-year warranty on the glass (against leakage or foggy). We provide detailed installation guides, exploded view diagrams, and remote video technical support to assist your installation team on site.
10 Years Guarantee
10 years for window and door frame, 5 years for hardware, 1 years for glass
