Light CommercialWindows & doors
Design intent, performance and code compliance, all satisfied at once.
The approachLight Commercial
Select boutique commercial and mixed-use projects, where the design intent, the performance requirement and the code all have to be satisfied together. We work closely with builders and project teams to keep the process straight from specification through delivery.
Where the workconcentrates
- 01
Three constraints at once
Design intent, performance and code all have to be satisfied together, and they do not always agree. Resolving that tension is most of the specification work on a commercial opening.
- 02
Working to the project team
Specification, submittals and delivery run to the programme the general contractor and the design team are already keeping, rather than to a separate one of our own.
- 03
Compliance as a deliverable
Product approvals and the documentation behind them are part of what gets handed over at the end, not something assembled after the fact.
- 04
A scale that suits the work
Boutique commercial and mixed-use, where the openings are still specified individually rather than pulled from a catalogue.
What gets resolvedbefore a single unit is ordered
Every project runs the full schedule. On light commercial, these three carry the most weight.
- 02
Performance and code
Design pressure, impact rating, water and air infiltration, and the approvals the jurisdiction will want to see before anything is installed.
- 04
Glass make-up
Laminate build-up, low-e coating, tint and spacer, decided together — the make-up sets the quality of the light before the frame ever does.
- 06
Sequencing and delivery
Lead times set against the build schedule, crating, staging, and what arrives on site in what order so the trade behind you is not waiting.
