A store opening in a mall runs to a tight schedule, and the storefront is usually one of the last jobs. Drawing on our projects at İstinye Park, Zorlu AVM, Vadi İstanbul and Forum İstanbul, we walk you through the process step by step.
1. Technical specification
Every mall has its own rules for storefront glass thickness, profile visibility and entrance height. The store architect's design and the mall's specification should be compared right at the start.
2. Measurement and fabrication
Large laminated panes are made to order. For that reason, measurements should be taken as soon as the floor and ceiling finishes are complete, and fabrication should start immediately.
3. Glass transport and night-time installation
Large panes are carried through the mall's service corridors with vacuum lifters and, where needed, a platform. Installation is mostly carried out after the mall closes.
4. Shutter and entrance
If an automatic shutter and entrance door are planned together with the storefront, the details come out consistent. Our automatic shutter installations at Beymen and Boyner stores went ahead this way.
5. Handover
After installation, the storefront is handed over ready for opening, with sealant applied, cleaned and protective films removed.
