Architectural Glass

Product Introduction

Architectural Glass is a versatile and essential material used in modern building design to achieve transparency, functionality, and aesthetic value. Engineered to meet structural, energy, safety, and design requirements, architectural glass is used in facades, windows, curtain walls, skylights, partitions, and balustrades. It is available in a wide range of types—such as tempered, laminated, Low-E, insulated, fritted, and coated glass—each tailored for specific applications and performance goals.
