Mirrors

Mirrors are manufactured using high quality float glass. After cleaning with a cerium oxide cleaning solution a thin layer of silver (silver nitrate) is applied using a chemical bonding process. After that a layer of copper is applied to separate the silver from the two coats of paint that are sprayed on last to give it a durable and strong backer.


We offer mirrors in flat, beveled, framed, convex, tinted and antique mirror.

Tinted Glass

Tinted Glass can offer privacy and beauty to your home and have additional value and provide energy savings by reducing the amount of light transmittance and solar heat gain. Applications such as your windows or shower doors to cabinets and furniture. It also has many Commercial applications like storefront or office partitions.

Two pieces of glass are sitting next to each other on a table.

Starphire®

Starphire® is an ultra clear glass that contains approximately 10% of the iron of regular glass. The low level of iron reduces the greenish/bluish tint that is normally seen in regular glass.


Common uses for Starphire® are applications where the color seen through the glass needs to be portrayed completely on target with color tint and hue.

Insulated Units

Insulating glass units improve the thermal performance of glazing by providing a thermal break between two lites of glass which is separated by a sealed air space.


Insulating glass can be manufactured in a wide range of performance levels, as well as aesthetic options, which include the amount of solar control, light transmission, noise control, or fading control of the unit.


Insulated glass is offered with many options.


*Custom Order Services Available

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is about four times stronger than “ordinary,” or annealed glass. And unlike annealed glass, which can shatter into jagged shards when broken, tempered glass fractures into small, relatively harmless pieces.


As a result, tempered glass is used in those environments where human safety is an issue. Applications include side and rear windows in vehicles, entrance doors, shower and tub enclosures, shelving, patio furniture, equipment, microwave ovens and skylights.


Not all glass can be tempered. Some Textured Glass that has lots of surface distortion or glass with bubbles on the inside (example: Seedy Glass) cannot be tempered. Also glass less than 1/8” or 3mm cannot be tempered.

Laminated Glass

Two or more panes of glass are bonded together by a durable plastic interlayer, which enables the glass to strongly resist penetration by impacting objects. However, if it should break, the glass will tend to remain in its frame, minimizing the risk of injury from sharp edges and flying or falling glass particles.


Custom Design versatility— Laminated glass can be manufactured flat or curved, and include annealed, heat strengthened, spandrel, wired, patterned, tinted and reflective glasses.
