Engineering

There’s a reason we call many of our products “systems.” A glass curtain wall, entranceway or canopy is a complex system of components, and the way they work together must be carefully engineered. The interplay between glass, metal, structural elements and adhesives and sealants is a delicate one.

Glass & Mirror Craft has a team of architects, mechanical and structural engineers on staff, dedicated to helping you create the dynamic space you seek – while making sure it’s functional, safe and cost-effective.

Our engineering and architectural capabilities include experience in:

We can design and engineer your entire system from your concept, or work with you to develop specific parts. How do you see things? We’re ready to help make them happen.

Design

An effective glass architectural system is a blend of form and function. Glass & Mirror Craft can help you with both.

Not only do we have a staff of professional architects and engineers to help you create a safe and functional system, we offer a talented design staff to make sure the form has the exact look and feel you want.

Each is well-versed in the structural and functional properties of the various types of glass we provide, as well as our full range of decorative glass treatments. For projects large or small, they can help you execute your design concept, help develop a rough idea, or work with you to create an original concept, including:

  • Take-off support and specification interpretation
  • On-site support
  • Complete shop drawings
  • Submittal sample
  • Graphic design support
  • Stamped, P.E.-reviewed designs and engineering studies

Project Management

Designing, fabricating and installing an architectural glass system is a complicated process unto itself. And it becomes even more complex when it’s sandwiched into the big picture of a construction project.

Glass & Mirror Craft has evolved to support the needs of owners, architects and glaziers – by designing complete glass and metal solutions for specific systems. To better capture and control the project and process, GMC fabricates its glass, decorative glass and metal components all in-house, under one roof. We can take that a step further – by helping you manage the design, fabrication and installation of the project.

Glass & Mirror Craft’s project management team is comprised of engineers, architects, glaziers and other support staff who work with glazing contractors – and serve you as a true partner. We’re on-site for meetings and installation – even during metal fabrication to ensure each component meets expectations and is done right.

Want to make sure the process behind your next architectural glass project is as smooth as the glass itself? Give us a call, and we’ll show you how our project management services can help.
