Marietta Window Replacement provides professional commercial storefront glass in Marietta, GA for residential and commercial properties across Cobb County and northwest metro Atlanta. Commercial glazing in this market runs from the shopfronts around the square to the low-rise office product along Powers Ferry Road and the flex and light-industrial space near Franklin Gateway. Three different building types, three different sets of problems, one framing system underneath most of them.
That system is aluminum storefront: extruded framing, usually a two-inch face, glazed with either quarter-inch tempered monolithic glass or a one-inch insulated unit, set in a captured pocket with gaskets or wet-sealed. It is durable, repairable and almost infinitely reconfigurable, which is why sixty-year-old framing is still in service on buildings all over Cobb County.
The specification question we get asked most is whether a thermal break is necessary in a climate this mild, and the answer is genuinely conditional. For an unconditioned vestibule or a covered walkway, non-thermally-broken framing is fine and always has been. For conditioned space, at 2,051 cooling degree days with summer dew points near seventy, a bare aluminum frame runs cold enough under heavy cooling to condense water on its interior face and drip onto the floor.
Air infiltration is measured differently on this side of the business. Storefront framing is tested to ASTM E283, and the specification most designers write is a maximum of 0.06 cubic feet per minute per square foot at a 6.24 pound pressure difference. Ask for that number when a system is proposed. It tells you whether the assembly was designed to seal or merely to hold glass.
Safety glazing rules are stricter here than in a house. Doors, sidelites, glass in and adjacent to entrances and anything in a walking surface's path are tempered or laminated as a matter of course, and glass in a door that a fire marshal has looked at may carry additional requirements. We size and specify to that rather than matching whatever was there.
Break-in glass is a large part of what we do commercially, and speed matters more than product selection. We board the opening, take the sight-line dimensions off the framing rather than off the broken lite, and get tempered stock in as fast as the supplier will move. For tenants who have been hit more than once, laminated glass in the lower panels is the change we recommend, because it turns a fifteen-second entry into a several-minute one.
Older storefront on the older buildings needs its gaskets assessed rather than its glass. Dry, shrunken vinyl gaskets and failed wet seals leak water into the sill flashing and rot the substrate behind it long before anybody notices a draft, and the fix is a reglaze rather than a new system.
We schedule commercial work outside trading hours as standard. A retail tenant on the square does not need us standing on a ladder across their doorway at noon on a Saturday in December.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — compression gasket, interlocking meeting stile, fusion-welded corners, pultruded fiberglass, warm-edge spacer, polyamide thermal break — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Marietta and nearby communities including Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial storefront glass
The difference between commercial storefront glass that lasts and commercial storefront glass that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with compression gasket, interlocking meeting stile, fusion-welded corners, pultruded fiberglass, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Marietta job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Cobb County and northwest metro Atlanta means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Marietta Chooses Marietta Window Replacement
- ✓We put the air-leakage rating at the top of the quote. In a county with a short winter and a long humid summer, the gasket is the only specification that returns something in both seasons.
- ✓We measure the clear opening in every bedroom before quoting. On the wide, short openings of Marietta's 1960s ranches, an insert can drop the escape opening below the code minimum without anyone noticing.
- ✓We flash behind the brick. On veneer houses the head flashing has to lap the water-resistive barrier rather than get caulked to the first course, and we will tell you if the brick will not allow it.
- ✓We price the smaller job when the smaller job is right. Fogged sealed units get reglazed, dragging patio doors get rollers, and tired entry doors often get a weatherstrip kit rather than a new slab.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
