Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a restaurant glass enclosure cost?
Restaurant glass enclosure costs vary significantly based on size, height, glass type, and features. Contact INFINITYGLASS for a project-specific quote. Many restaurants see ROI within 1-2 years through extended seasonal revenue and increased covers.
Do glass enclosures require HVAC?
For year-round comfort in extreme climates, HVAC integration is recommended. In moderate climates, radiant heaters and natural ventilation through operable panels may be sufficient. INFINITYGLASS works with your mechanical engineer to integrate climate control into the enclosure design.
Can glass enclosures meet health code for outdoor dining?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Many health departments treat enclosed patios as indoor dining, requiring full kitchen ventilation and occupancy compliance. Others maintain outdoor dining classification if a percentage of the enclosure is operable. Verify with your local health authority.
