JRM Aluminum

What we do

Fabrication and installation of glass and architectural aluminum for commercial buildings — seven scopes, one standard.

The assembly

Anatomy of a retail storefront.

Six pieces of glass and metal decide whether an elevation reads crisp or tired. We fabricate and install all six.

Labelled storefront elevation A simplified retail elevation with numbered callouts: 1 parapet coping, 2 sign-band fascia, 3 ACM field panels, 4 canopy fascia, 5 storefront glazing, 6 entrance doors. 1 2 3 4 5 6
  1. 1Parapet coping caps the wall; ES-1 edge metal where the membrane requires it
  2. 2Sign-band fascia the tenant's face — flat ACM, tight joints
  3. 3ACM field panels routed-and-returned cassettes on an aligned grid
  4. 4Canopy fascia one continuous sight-line; uplift governs attachment
  5. 5Storefront glazing plumb mullions, sealed units set square and weather-tight
  6. 6Entrance doors aluminum and all-glass entrances, hardware included

Glass

Glazing & entrances

Storefront & curtain-wall glazing

Storefront and curtain-wall systems glazed by our own crews — sealed units set plumb, square, and weather-tight. The mullion lines you see in our portfolio are ours.

Commercial doors & entrances

Aluminum entrance doors, all-glass entrances, and the hardware that keeps them swinging — closers, panics, continuous hinges. Doors are the hardest-working metal on the building; we build them to be serviced, not replaced.

Frameless glass partitions

Interior office fronts, frameless partitions, and glass doors — tempered glass in channel and clamps, minimal sightlines. Interior work doesn't photograph from a parking lot; ask and we'll walk you through completed installs.

Aluminum

Cladding & metal

ACM panel systems

Aluminum composite panels are how a retail elevation gets its clean, flat, modern face. We fabricate cassettes in-shop — routed, folded, and stiffened — then hang them on an aligned grid so the reveals run true from one end of the storefront to the other.

On rated wall assemblies we supply FR-core panel in tested assemblies. An NFPA 285 requirement changes the panel, not the look.

Fascia & coping

Brake-formed fascia and parapet coping, cleat-attached, with edge metal that meets ANSI/SPRI ES-1 where the roof membrane requires it. The bread-and-butter of plaza and grocery re-images.

Canopy cladding

Canopy fascias and soffit returns that hold one continuous sight-line across the storefront. Wind uplift governs the attachment, not guesswork.

Pylon & sign band

Pylon cabinet cladding, cap flashings, and sign-band fascia — brake-formed edges dead straight, built to carry the sign company's schedule.

Finishes

Finish classes

Choosing the right finish class matters more than the colour chip.

Fig. 02 — Typical warranty by finish class

Finish Standard Typical warranty Where it makes sense
70% PVDF AAMA 2605 20–30 yr Anchor tenants, dark colours, long-hold properties
Super-durable powder AAMA 2604 10–15 yr Plaza re-images, value-engineered specs
Standard powder AAMA 2603 5 yr Soffits and secondary surfaces
Anodized Class I AAMA 611 10+ yr Storefront framing match, clear and bronze looks

Warranty mismatches between spec and quote are one of the most common reasons submittals get rejected — we check the AAMA class, the alloy and temper callouts, and the wind-load requirement before metal is ordered.
