Glass Technology

Laminated
Standard Impact

Two glass layers bonded with a PVB interlayer. When broken, shards adhere to the film — no dangerous projectiles. The foundation of all impact glazing.

Low-E Laminated
Energy Efficient

Metallic coating on the inner surface reflects infrared heat. Reduces solar heat gain by up to 70% — critical in South Florida for energy savings and comfort.

Insulated (IGU)
Thermal + Sound

Two laminated panes separated by a sealed air or argon gas space. Maximizes thermal insulation and dramatically reduces exterior noise — ideal near airports or highways.

Privacy / Tinted
Solar Control

Bronze, gray, or blue-green tints reduce visible light transmittance and solar glare. Available in multiple opacity levels while maintaining full impact certification.

Certifications & Compliance
Miami-Dade NOA Florida Building Code (FBC) AAMA 450 / AAMA 506 ASTM E1886 / E1996 HVHZ Approved NFRC Rated SGCC Safety Glazing
