Products

Patterned & Textured Glass

Glass is classified as patterned when it comes from the factory with a permanently imprinted decorative motif. Textured glass adds to this basic formula with pleating, pebbling or other appealing surface alterations. Our inventory of three dozen patterned and textured options allows us to support virtually any design approach.

 

 

 

Shower Enclosures – Shower enclosures enhance the usefulness of your bathrooms by combining ease of access with design versatility. We feature full-length enclosures, as well as shower/tub combo models. Choose from features such as traditional sliding doors and frameless installations.

Annealed Glass – Annealing is a slow-cooling process that produces a good, general-use form of glass. While not the toughest product available, annealed glass provides solid resistance to edge breakage and outstanding cost savings. Whether your needs are residential, industrial or commercial, choose from multiple in-stock options.

Tempered Glass – Tempered glass is the tougher alternative to annealed glass. While it costs more, it provides excellent benefits in high-traffic areas and other breakage-prone locations. Create your own ideal tempered product from our wide range of shape, size, thickness, opacity and edge curvature options.

Insulated Glass

An insulated window pane is actually a multi-pane unit held together with a hidden edge-sealing system. Inert gas trapped between the panes reduces temperature fluctuations and helps keep your interior spaces comfortable year-round. Choose from stock and customized insulated options that meet your specific residential, commercial or industrial requirements.

 

 

 

Laminated Glass – Laminated glass is a “sandwich” made by layering a transparent, durable synthetic material between your choice of annealed or tempered panes. In the event of breakage, this material helps keep you safe by preventing the release of dangerous glass shards. Benefits of this type of glass are especially obvious during major weather events. At Economy Glass, we specialize in the difficult process required to customize laminated products to fit your unique needs.

Tinted Glass – Unlike the “tinted” windows sometimes found on automobiles, true tinted glass is embedded with its desired coloring and opacity level during the manufacturing process. Common uses for a tinted product include indoor temperature stabilization, protection from unwanted glare and prevention of sunlight-related interior damage. We offer stock and customized options in both tempered glass and laminated glass.

Backpainted Glass – Backpainting is produced by coating a single surface of a piece of glass with lightproof paint. The process adds a sense of depth, as well as a pleasing pop of color. You’ll find this type of glass installed on everything from shower walls and kitchen backsplashes to countertops. In addition to dozens of stock backpainted options, we offer extensive color customization.

Mirrors – Mirrors are so essential that you’ll find them installed somewhere in virtually all buildings. However, these workhorse products only come in a certain number of stock formats, and you may need to opt for customization in order to accommodate your size or shape requirements. We carry an extensive array of stock mirrors, and also support even the most unusual customization requests.

Fabrication – Glass is fabricated whenever it undergoes any kind of significant alteration. Common techniques that fall under the heading of fabrication include cutting, grooving, drilling, edging, countersinking and bending. Every day, we rely on these and other advances methods to create high-quality, completely customizable items such as doors, shower enclosures, furniture and shelving.

Edgework – All glass not encased in a frame at the factory undergoes some sort of edging to ensure its safe handling. Decorative edgework goes far beyond this stage by creating your preferred profile on mirrors, tabletops, shelves and other glass items. Choose from our comprehensive stock of standard profiles, or rely on our experts to create customized edgework.

Window Repair and Replacement – Damage is a widespread issue for windows installed in both residential and commercial buildings. You can often address warped frames and other common problems with a professional repair. However, replacement is the go-to option for certain forms of damage, including severely cracked frames and cracked or broken glass in single-pane windows. At Economy Glass, we specialize in the full gamut of window-related services. Whether you face major or minor issues, we’ll supply you with the appropriate repair or replacement option. We can also help you smoothly incorporate window replacement into your upcoming renovation/remodeling plans.
