Storefronts are the face of a commercial establishment, requiring both durability and aesthetic appeal. The glass used must provide clear visibility while offering security and energy efficiency.
 

Tempered glass is an excellent choice for storefronts due to its strength and safety features. It is four to five times stronger than standard glass and, when broken, shatters into small, less harmful pieces, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Impact Door Systems are critical in regions prone to severe weather, such as hurricanes. These doors must withstand strong winds, flying debris, and forceful impacts.

Laminated glass is the preferred option for impact door systems because it consists of multiple layers of glass with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This structure holds the glass together when shattered, providing both impact resistance and enhanced security.

Glass in high-rise buildings needs to handle wind loads, thermal stress, and energy efficiency while providing a sleek, modern appearance.

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) are ideal for high-rise applications. These units consist of two or more glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed to create a gap filled with air or gas, such as argon, for improved insulation. IGUs offer excellent thermal performance, sound insulation, and resistance to wind pressure.

Glass partitions are used within commercial spaces to create open, light-filled environments while maintaining privacy and separation.

Frosted or etched glass is often utilized for these partitions. Frosted glass provides a translucent appearance that allows light to pass through while obscuring visibility, making it perfect for maintaining privacy in office settings without sacrificing the openness of the space.

Skylights bring natural light into commercial spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting and enhancing the ambiance.

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass is an excellent choice for skylights. Low-E glass has a microscopically thin coating that reflects infrared and ultraviolet light while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps in maintaining energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, which is particularly important in skylights where direct sunlight can lead to excessive heat gain.
