Project Overview

Ramos Industries Inc. was called to perform an urgent glass replacement at the US Bank location in Santa Monica. The storefront system had a broken exterior sidelite, and our team was brought in to remove the damaged glass and install new clear tempered glazing while keeping the branch accessible to customers.

Our installers arrived early to minimize disruption and maintained customer entry by keeping the additional doors open during the work. The project was completed safely during regular business hours.

Scope of Work

• Removal of the damaged exterior glass sidelite

• Installation of new 1/2 inch clear tempered glass

• Reuse of existing perimeter U channels and floating header

• Careful setting of glass due to floating header and tight channel alignment

• Full cleanup and inspection after installation

‍

Materials and Hardware

• 1/2 inch clear tempered glass

• Existing perimeter U channels and floating header

• Glass supplied by Glasswerks

Site Conditions and Challenges

The primary challenge was installing the new glass into an existing system that included a floating header and a U channel at the jamb. This required precise alignment and careful handling to ensure a secure and clean fit.

Despite the complexity, the team completed the installation without interrupting customer access to the bank.
