Step by step, from installation to the finished look. 🚿✨

Our team recently installed a new shower glass door for one of our clients, and the difference speaks for itself. Glass shower doors can instantly make a bathroom feel brighter, more open, and more modern while giving the space a clean and polished finish.

From precise measurements to careful installation, our team makes sure every detail is done right. 👏

Another progress update from LeMarchant Place at Dalhousie University! 🏗️✨

A few months ago, we shared the start of our cladding replacement work, and we're excited to show you how the project is coming along. Our team continues to make great progress, with every new section bringing the building one step closer to completion.

Cladding plays an important role in protecting a building from the elements while improving its durability, energy efficiency, and overall appearance. It's one of those upgrades that not only transforms how a building looks but also helps it perform better for years to come.

We're proud to be part of this important project and to help prepare LeMarchant Place for students and staff as they return for the new academic year. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue making progress!

Back to School! 🎒📚

As students across our communities head back to the classroom, we want to wish everyone a safe, exciting, and successful school year ahead!

For those of us heading to work and travelling on the roads each day, this is also an important reminder to be extra aware. School buses are back on their routes, students are walking to and from school, and school zones are busy again.

Please slow down, stay alert, watch for students crossing the road, and always respect school bus stop signals. 🚌🚸

A few extra seconds of patience can help keep everyone safe.

From all of us at KP Glass & Aluminum, wishing students, teachers, staff, and families a wonderful school year! 🍎📚

When you look at a curtain wall, it's easy to focus on the glass.

But what keeps that entire system securely attached to the building?

The answer is a carefully engineered anchoring system.

Curtain walls are non-structural exterior wall systems, which means they don't carry the weight of the building itself. Instead, they are securely fastened to the building's structural frame using specially designed anchors, brackets, and high-strength fasteners.

These anchors have a critical job. They must support the weight of the curtain wall while also allowing it to safely withstand wind loads, temperature changes, and the natural movement that every building experiences over time.

A properly engineered anchoring system helps to:

• Transfer loads safely to the building's structure
• Resist wind pressure and suction
• Allow for thermal expansion and building movement
• Maintain the alignment of the curtain wall system
• Deliver long-term structural stability and performance

Although these components are hidden behind the finished façade, they are essential to the safety and durability of the entire building envelope.

At KP Glass & Aluminum, every curtain wall system is installed with precision because what you don't see is often just as important as what you do.

Last month, we shared the beginning of this exciting project, and today we're back with a progress update! 🏗️✨

These photos show how far we've come, from the early stages of the project, to the installation of the aluminum curtain wall framing, and now the glass installation. It's always rewarding to see a building start to take shape as each phase comes together.

Projects like this require careful planning, precision, and teamwork every step of the way, and our crew continues to deliver outstanding work on site.

There's still more to do before the project is complete, and we can't wait to show you the finished result. Stay tuned for more updates!

Your storefront is one of the first things customers notice about your business.

A clean, well-maintained entrance creates a positive first impression, while damaged glass, worn frames, or doors that don't operate properly can affect not only your building's appearance but also its safety, energy efficiency, and functionality.

Here are five signs your storefront may need attention:

🔹 Cracked or chipped glass – Even small chips can weaken the glass over time and create potential safety risks.

🔹 Drafts or water leaks – Air and water infiltration can lead to higher energy costs, interior damage, and uncomfortable indoor spaces.

🔹 Doors that stick or don't close properly – This may indicate worn hardware, misalignment, or issues with the door closer or automatic operator.

🔹 Worn or cracked sealant – Sealants play a critical role in keeping moisture and air out. When they begin to fail, water infiltration and long-term damage can follow.

🔹 Damaged or deteriorating frames – Corrosion, dents, or worn finishes can reduce both the appearance and performance of your storefront system.

The good news? Many of these issues can be addressed before they become major repairs.

Routine inspections and timely maintenance help extend the life of your storefront, improve energy efficiency, and keep your entrance looking professional for customers and visitors.

If you've noticed any of these warning signs, our team is here to help with inspections, repairs, and replacements.
