Services
Tempered Glass Fabrication
Our tempered glass fabrication utilizes advanced 96x172 tempering ovens to produce safety glass up to 3/4" thickness. This process creates glass six times stronger than standard annealed glass, ideal for commercial storefronts, shower enclosures, and security applications. We offer customization in low-iron, tinted, and textured varieties while maintaining strict quality control through in-house production.
Aluminum Storefront Systems
We manufacture complete aluminum storefront systems featuring thermally broken profiles and ADA-compliant panic hardware. Our solutions include center-glazed and offset-glazed configurations with customizable finishes for retail, office, and institutional applications. Integrated CAD design ensures precise fit and rapid installation while meeting NFRC energy efficiency standards.
Custom Metal Fabrication
Our custom metal fabrication capabilities include stainless steel, aluminum, and brass components for architectural applications. Using 12-foot brake presses and robotic welding, we produce door frames, handrails, and decorative elements with precision tolerances. Finishes include anodized, powder-coated, and polished options for both interior and exterior installations.
Smart Privacy Glass
We provide electrochromic privacy glass solutions that transition from transparent to opaque with the flip of a switch. This laminated glass technology integrates seamlessly into commercial partitions, conference rooms, and residential applications. Our in-house fabrication ensures proper lamination and electrical integration while maintaining safety glass standards.
CAD/BIM Design Services
Our technical team offers full CAD/BIM modeling services for precise glass and metal system integration. This includes shop drawings, 3D modeling, and compatibility with major design platforms. We support architects and contractors through the entire project lifecycle from initial specifications to fabrication-ready documentation.
