Design with Glass

cxy

Glass already offers the design world unique advantages – and these are only growing.  

Now glass can be any color or practically colorless, it can bring shade as well as light, be shaped into many forms, come mirrored or virtually reflection-free, help balance temperature, and offer privacy along with a sense of space.  

From stunning architecture and innovative interiors, to invisible museum or retail displays, we believe glass promises more than any other material. Which is why at Guardian Glass we constantly challenge ourselves to See What’s Possible™, and we now invite you to do the same.

The aesthetics of glass

Glass can be an inconspicuous frame for other design elements, or it can take center stage as a vividly clear, low-iron curtain wall or a bold, curved glass accent.
