Architectural laminated glass.

Railing and guard panels, stair treads and landings, partitions, shower and bath glass, doors, sidelites and canopies. Built to your specifications, with the interlayer chosen for the job.

Railings, guards and balustrades.

A railing panel has exposed edges, takes weather, and has to keep standing after a lite breaks. We build them with SentryGlas, a stiffer, stronger interlayer that holds a broken panel rigid and resists moisture at an open edge. Tempered lites with holes, notches and radius corners cut before tempering so they land where your shoe, standoff or clamp needs them.

Make-up

Two tempered lites with a SentryGlas interlayer, sized to your shoe, standoff or clamp system and to the engineer's requirement. Common builds are two 1/4 in or two 3/8 in lites.

Glass

Any tint or finish. Low-iron keeps a thick open edge from going green.

Stair treads and walkable glass.

A walkable panel is built so that if one lite breaks, the rest of the laminate still carries load until it is replaced. Treads are three or more lites with SentryGlas between them, polished together after lamination so the edge reads as one piece. Low-iron glass is the usual choice where the edge is visible, since thick builds show the green tint of standard glass.

Middle lite
Bottom lite

Gold bands: SentryGlas interlayers. Post-lamination polish on all exposed edges.

Make-up

Three or more lites with SentryGlas between each, to the engineer's spec. A sacrificial top lite is common where the surface will see wear.

Surface

Anti-slip top surface specified by the designer or engineer.

Edges

Post-lamination polish across all plies for a clear, flawless edge.

Engineer

Ply count, glass thickness, heat treatment and supports are set by the project engineer. We build to the spec and do not provide engineering.

Partitions, showers, doors and the rest.

EVA or SentryGlas, with the same glass and the same edge finish.

Partitions and dividers

Clear, low-iron or with a translucent interlayer for privacy. Laminated, so an office or hotel partition is a safety glass and quieter than a single lite.

Shower and bath glass

Tempered laminated panels and doors, clear or printed, with hinge and handle cutouts on the drawing. Switchable film is an option on the same build.

Doors, sidelites and transoms

Laminated door and sidelite glass to your hardware prep.

Canopies and skylights

Overhead glazing is a laminated-only application. SentryGlas for open edges and post-breakage retention, to the engineer's make-up.

Wine rooms

Full-height laminated panels and doors for conditioned wine rooms.

Table tops and counters

Laminated tops with a printed, colored or clear interlayer. One surface, no seams, safety glass if it breaks.

Markerboard glass

Low-iron glass with a white or colored interlayer behind it. Writable, wipeable, no frame required.

What we need from you.

Tempered lites are cut, drilled and notched before tempering, so everything has to be on the drawing before glass is ordered.

Sizes

Width by height in inches, with the quantity of each.

Holes, notches, corners

Locations and diameters from your hardware, marked on a drawing. PDF, DXF or DWG.

Glass and make-up

Glass type, tint and thickness, tempered or annealed, and the engineer's make-up where one is required. If you are not sure, say so and we will recommend.

Send the drawing.

Sizes, holes and notches. We quote it and ship it anywhere in the country.
