Precision Etch

Proprietary etching process that streamlines the etching process and allows for more flexibility than the current, industry standard etching process. Our proprietary Precision Etch  technology is capable of shortening the amount of time to etch, while also allowing us to make instant adjustments and changes to any etched design. This process also gives us a the capability for seamless book matching from glass panel to glass panel, so your designs wont be restricted by multiple glass sizes in an installation process.  By streamlining our Precision Etch technique, we are able to explore many different design avenues, which means more flexibility and creativity for you!

Digital Printing

Print high-resolution, full color images directly to most any glass or mirrored surface.

Lamination

Our lamination services include Polyurethane Lamination and coming soon, EVA Lamination.  Our Polyurethane Lamination process is a great solution for architectural projects that require more durability, as well as projects that are looking to preserve digitally printed images and etchings. Our laminated glass is approved safety glass per ANSI Standard 97.1 and ASTM Standard.

Do you have a standard sheet size?

We do not have a standard sheet size, as we work on a project-to-project basis.

What is your lead time?

Our lead time varies depending on the project; however, in most cases is it between 3-6 weeks.

Do you do glass installation?

We are a decorative glass fabricator and only work with artistic and designer treatments on glass. We require the client to provide their own installation service if the project requires installation. Please note that prices and quotes are based solely on our decorative glass product.  Installation fees and other related costs are in no way affiliated with our services.

Do you offer safety glass?

We offer both tempered safety glass as well as laminated safety glass.
