Jumbo glass
Impress at first sight
Guardian Glass has a long history of manufacturing jumbo coated glass around the world. Our newest jumbo coater in North America helps glass accomplish everything standard glass does best—on a larger scale. Go jumbo to redefine the possibilities of construction, dissolve the boundaries to connection indoors and out, energize and enlighten interiors with natural light, and impress at first sight with larger than life designs. Plus, you can pair jumbo glass sizes with your favorite Guardian SunGuard® coatings for the performance you want and need.
Enjoy the view

Big performance
Blend light and energy efficiency on a grand scale with Guardian jumbo glass. Jumbo glass can be paired with Guardian SunGuard® low-E coatings for excellent performance.
Larger-than-life-styles
Access aesthetics for any vision. Jumbo glass can be bent, laminated and coated with tinted and low-iron substrates to provide views that are beautiful, safe and energy efficient.
Redefine the possibilities of construction
Get Started
When specifying oversize glass, there are some technical considerations to keep in mind. As glass gets bigger, more surface area is exposed to outdoor elements. Heat-treated glass is recommended to help increase strength and resistance to wind loads and help reduce the risk of thermal breakage.
- Glass thicker than a standard quarter inch (6mm) may be recommended to help keep secure within the frame, prevent edge pull out and maintain glass deflection.
- Movement of the oversize IG unit can add stress to the IG seal. A wider than standard sealant bite may be needed for larger sizes.
- Please confirm that the finished IG units can be fabricated by the Guardian Select Fabricator for your project.
