Choosing the Right Glass For Your Project

The type of glass you choose can change the look and feel of a building. It also affects energy efficiency, safety, and durability. Here are some of the key types of custom glass we offer and how they can benefit your project.


Tempered and Heat Strengthened Glass

Tempered glass is known for its strength and safety. It’s heated and cooled quickly to make it much stronger than regular glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, less dangerous pieces. This makes it ideal for areas where safety is a priority, like doors, windows, and facades.


Heat strengthened glass is similar but offers a balance between strength and flexibility. It’s less likely to break under thermal stress, making it a good choice for large windows exposed to sunlight or temperature changes.


Double and Triple Insulated Glass

Double insulated glass has two panes separated by a spacer filled with air or gas.

Triple insulated glass adds a third pane for even better insulation.


These options improve comfort inside buildings by keeping heat in during winter and out during summer. They also reduce noise, which is great for busy urban areas.


Decorative and Custom Shapes

Sometimes, glass needs to do more than just be functional. Decorative glass adds style and personality to a space. We offer acid etching for unique designs and patterns, stained glass units for color and artistry, and lead tape and decorative muntins for classic designs.


From contemporary to historic — custom shapes and bent glass allow architects and builders to create extraordinary designs. We can cut holes and notches to fit hardware or lighting, making installation easier and cleaner.


Examples of Our Custom Capabilities in Action

To give you a clearer picture, let’s look at a few examples of custom glass products we provide and how they fit into real projects.


Acid Etched Glass for Privacy and Style

Acid etching creates a frosted look on glass. It’s perfect for conference rooms, bathrooms, or any space where privacy is needed without blocking light. The etched surface can also include logos or patterns for branding or decoration.


Some of the above examples show how acid etched glass adds a modern, clean look while keeping spaces open and bright. It’s a popular choice for office buildings and upscale homes.


Spandrel Coating for Concealing Building Elements

Spandrel glass is used to hide structural parts of a building, like columns or insulation, while keeping the exterior smooth and uniform. The coating can match the color of the rest of the glass, creating a seamless look.


This product is essential for commercial buildings that want a sleek, polished facade without visible interruptions.


Laminated Glass for Safety and Sound Control

Laminated glass sandwiches a plastic layer between two glass sheets. This makes it hold together if broken, improving safety. It also blocks sound better than regular glass, making it ideal for schools, hospitals, and homes near noisy areas.


Laminated glass can also include decorative elements or tints, giving you both function and style.
