Century City’s Full-Service Glass Store

How important is glass to our lives? Until you stop to think about it, you usually don’t realize what a large role it plays. Since it is something in the background of our lives, we rarely pay it any attention until it we need to replace it or purchase it.

And when you do need new or replacement glass, it can be hard to find what you need. Many glass companies only carry sheet glass in standard sizes, making it hard for those who have a more unique need. For Century City, the company to turn to is Economy Glass. We can offer you both the standard shapes and sizes as well as custom orders to ensure that you can always access the glass products you need. From fabrication to installation, we take care of it all.

 

Products

Our mission is to meet your every possible need for glass. As such, we keep a variety of products in stock at all times, with the ability to create custom pieces for you when needed. Below are some of the glass products we can offer you.

Show Enclosures

Home design has moved towards keeping spaces open and unobstructed. This trend even translates into the bathroom, where shower curtains and frosted glass are becoming more popular than sleek glass enclosures. We can offer you a wide variety of glass shower enclosures, including framed and frameless, sliding doors, hinged doors, doorless enclosures, and enclosures for shower/tub combinations.

Patterned and Textured Glass

Patterned glass is glass that has a decorative pattern or motif printed onto it during the manufacturing process. This is a great way to add depth, privacy, and even branding for commercial purposes. Textured glass introduces ribbing, pebbling, and other textures into the glass, changing its surface beyond just the look. Economy Glass carries 36 patterned and textured options, making it easy to find one that will complement your décor.

 

 

 

Annealed Glass

Annealed glass is created through a slow cooling process, which helps to make the glass tough—though not quite as much as tempered glass. Why choose annealed glass over tempered glass if it isn’t as strong? Both types of glass have their own purposes. Some benefits of annealed glass over tempered glass include lower cost, better durability along the edges, and more flexibility.

Backpainted Glass

Glass panes that are backpainted are given a layer of light-resistant paint on the backside of the glass. This gives the glass the extra element of color while also creating an illusion of depth. This type of glass is used for decorative purposes, such as in shower walls, countertops, shelves, and other furniture items. At Economy Glass, we carry nearly 40 standard backpainted options. We also can create custom mixes to get the color you desire.

Insulated Glass

Insulated glass is most commonly used in windows, helping to keep the temperature of homes and businesses stable despite the weather. These windows contain 2-3 panes of glass with dense, harmless glass placed between them and sealed in. We offer insulated glass in standard and custom sizes, making it easy to obtain windows that work for your home or business.

Laminated Glass

Laminated glass refers to a glass pane that has a minimum of two sheets of tempered or annealed glass connected to each other with synthetic membranes. This creates an incredibly strong piece of glass that, when broken, does not create dangerous shards. This type of glass is often used in areas where weather can pose risks or places where the possibility of someone hitting the glass is great. While it is difficult to custom cut this class, we specialize in this process and can easily create custom pieces that meet your needs.

Mirrors

Whether you require mirrors for function or aesthetic reasons, we can help you get the exact size and shape you need. We have created mirrors for clothing stores, restaurants, homes, and more. We offer many different looks and styles of smokiness in our mirrors, so you can obtain a piece that is one of a kind.

Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is created through a special process that results in increased strength—about 300% more than in standard glass. This makes tempered glass the top choice for spaces where there is a great risk of breakage, such as in cars, shopping malls, and shower enclosures. We can customize your tempered glass by size, shape, thickness, tint, and edge profile.

Tinted Glass

Most glass is tinted used a film that is adhered to the glass; we consider this an inferior method. Instead, we fully permeate the color throughout the sheet of glass, delivering effective results that last a lifetime. Tinted glass can be used in many settings, but most often is used in windows to reduce sun exposure to people, paintings, and furniture. We can offer you tinted glass in many colors and opacity levels.

 

 

 

Edgework

Glass sheets are sharp at the edges when manufactured. Edgework is needed to make the sides safe to be exposed. While this isn’t always a concern, it does matter when dealing with mirrors, counter tops, table tops, and other applications where the edges are exposed. We offer multiple edgework styles that will make your glass both safe and attractive. We can also create custom edgework to meet your needs.

Window Repair and Replacement 

Over time, windows installed in residential and commercial buildings will eventually develop significant functional or aesthetic problems. When such problems arise, you have two basic options: a limited repair or a full replacement of the damaged window. Whichever option makes the most sense in your situation, turn to Economy Glass for expert advice and unbeatable handiwork. We can tackle any repair or replacement scenario and restore function and beauty to your home or business. Our expertise also includes completely customizable window upgrades with your choice of high-quality materials.

Custom Glass Installation

Accurate, hassle-free glass installation is important for any project. And because of the risks, it isn’t something you want to do by yourself. Instead, rely on our team of specialists to install any glass you need for your home or business.

Our technicians have been completing expert glass installations in Century City for the better part of a century.

We can install glass of all shapes and sizes, ensuring that you get incredible results.
