Winter Vestibules & Custom Enclosures: What You Need to Know
A winter vestibule enclosure is a temporary or permanent structure installed at your storefront entrance to block cold air, wind, and snow from entering your building. In Chicago’s brutal winters, these enclosures help maintain indoor temperatures, lower heating costs, and create a more welcoming space for customers.
Yes, custom enclosures are allowed in Chicago, but most require a city permit, especially for temporary vestibules in public-facing spaces like restaurants or retail stores. At SignFreaks, we handle the entire permitting process for you, ensuring your enclosure meets all city codes and safety regulations.
Most custom vestibules take 1–2 weeks from site survey to installation, depending on complexity and permit approvals. Our team offers fast turnaround times while ensuring that your enclosure is safe, durable, and aligned with your brand.
We use a variety of high-quality materials like aluminum frames, tempered glass panels, polycarbonate walls, and heavy-duty vinyl, all chosen to withstand Chicago’s harsh winters while matching your building’s aesthetic.
Absolutely. We design weatherproof patio enclosures and dining vestibules that keep your guests warm, extend your outdoor season, and comply with Chicago’s health and safety codes. Options include portable units, roll-up vinyl walls, and heat-friendly builds.
