Public Storage – Columbia

Public Storage – Columbia

At this Public Storage facility in Columbia, Maryland, we glazed the multi-story corner window walls and the entrance storefront that make the building stand out from the road. The glass corner turns a utilitarian building into a bright landmark at night.

The challenge

Commercial work means balancing design goals with compressed timelines, many trades sharing the site and very tight field tolerances.

Our solution

Our installers erected the curtain wall and window wall framing, glazed it with insulated low-E units and sealed the perimeter into the building's air and water barrier. Our crew set out and anchored the aluminum framing, glazed it with tempered safety glass and hung the entry doors with commercial closers, pivots and locks, then sealed every joint against the weather. From start to finish we worked hand in hand with the general contractor and the owner, kept the work area clean and safe, and protected completed finishes until handover.

The result

The owner now has a bright, modern space with glazing that performs well, looks sharp and is supported by a local glass contractor who answers the phone. See more of our projects in Maryland.
