Early design-assist
Pocket dimensions, blocking, head details, and fabric strategy before drawings are final.
Scope
What this has to solve.
Power & controls
Motor locations, low-voltage runs, and integration with building controls.
Submittals
Product data, samples, and shop details aligned to the specification.
Field verification
Measure as-built openings before fabrication.
Sequencing
Install after finishes and before turnover, coordinated with other trades.
Film coordination
One team reviewing glass, film, and treatment together.
Solution matrix
By space type.
| Space | Recommendation | Specification note |
|---|---|---|
| Schematic design | Performance goals by space | Glare, darkness, privacy |
| Design development | Pockets, power, blocking | Before ceilings close |
| Construction documents | Specification language | Basis and alternates |
| Construction | Submittals, field verify | As-built dimensions |
| Closeout | Programming, turnover | Operation training |
Large openings
Review spans, mullion alignment, and weight early.
Alternates
Identify equivalent products where specifications allow.
Turnover
Document controls and provide operation guidance.
From the field · Real window conditions
What the glass actually looks like.
These photos are from Shore Tint & More glazing and window-film jobs, Delaware Shade Co.’s sister brand. They are not Delaware Shade Co. shade or blind installations.
Commercial storefront glazing
Broad storefront glass has to stay visible from the street while managing glare and direct sun on the space behind it.
Film can handle constant glare on fixed storefront glass; shades are added only where seating, offices, or after-hours privacy need adjustable control.
