What is Glass Glazing?
Glass glazing isn’t just sticking any window pane in place. Skilled professionals choose the perfect glass type and thickness for your project. They then secure it using special materials to create a beautiful and weatherproof result for windows, doors, walls, and more!
Materials: Glass comes in various types, each with its own properties. Common options include clear float glass, tinted glass, laminated glass (for increased strength and security), and tempered glass (stronger and shatters into blunt pieces for safety).
Techniques: The specific method of glazing depends on the application. Fixed panels are directly secured within a frame. Retractable glazing systems use tracks or rollers to allow for opening and closing. For doors and windows, specialized glazing techniques ensure proper weatherproofing and smooth operation.
Benefits: Glass glazing offers many advantages. It allows for increased natural light, improves energy efficiency (depending on the glass type), enhances aesthetics, reduces noise pollution, and can even create year-round usable spaces like patios and sunrooms.
Residential Applications
Sunrooms: Create a tranquil retreat bathed in sunlight – the perfect place to relax with a book or enjoy the outdoors without leaving your home.
Enclosed Patios: Extend your living space and enjoy the fresh air year-round. Glass glazing protects you from the elements, allowing you to utilize your patio to its full potential.
Walls & Windows: Flood your home with natural light and create a seamless connection to your outdoor surroundings with expansive glass walls and windows.
Doors: Our options include:
Sliding Doors: Effortlessly open up your space and create a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.

Creative Uses: Don’t limit yourself! Glass glazing can be used for pool enclosures, skylights, and other unique design elements.
Commercial Applications
Office Spaces: Enhance employee well-being and productivity with naturally lit work environments. Glass walls and partitions can also create a more open and collaborative atmosphere.
Restaurants: Impress your guests with stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere. Large glass windows showcase your space and create an inviting ambiance.

Glass and Glazing System Options for Your NOLA Property
Here’s a breakdown of some popular choices:
Glass Options:
Clear Glass: A basic and versatile option offering excellent light transmission. Ideal for windows, doors, and other applications where a clear view is desired.
Glazing System Options:
Laminated Glazing: Provides superior strength and security compared to standard glass. In case of breakage, the inner layer remains intact, offering protection from accidental impact, vandalism, and even burglary attempts.
Toughened Glazing (Tempered Glass): Strengthens the glass through a heat treatment process. If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, minimizing the risk of injury. Ideal for applications where safety is a primary concern, like doors and skylights.
Insulated Glazing (Double Glazing): Features two or more glass panes separated by an air gap. This creates a thermal barrier, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing noise pollution. Perfect for windows and walls, especially in areas with extreme temperatures.
Additional Option:
Guillotine Glazing System with Vertical Operation: This unique system features motorized, drop-down glass panels ideal for interior applications. It’s a space-saving solution for windows and even bi-folding or patio doors, allowing for precise control over natural light.
