Architects specify it. GCs need a sub who can actually execute it. ACG handles the specialty glazing scopes that most subs decline — sloped, structural, decorative, and complex custom applications.
Specialty glazing is where inexperienced subs get in trouble. Sloped glazing with inadequate drainage design. Structural glass floors without proper thermal analysis. Decorative glass installations that don't coordinate with the building's movement. ACG approaches specialty scope with the same engineering rigor we bring to conventional work — just with more complexity to manage.
Our team has extensive experience in sloped glazing systems, glass floors and walkways, point-fixed structural glazing, skylight systems, and decorative glass applications. We work with specialty glass suppliers and manufacturers to source the right product for each application and develop installation methods that perform over the long term.
For GCs dealing with complex architectural glass on a design-build or design-assist basis, ACG can serve as a technical resource from early design through construction. We've helped architects refine specialty glass details to improve constructability and long-term performance.
Skylights, clerestories, and sloped glazing for natural light and architectural feature.
Sloped glazing systems require specific design attention to drainage, condensation management, and structural loading. ACG designs and installs sloped glazing assemblies from simple skylight systems to complex multi-faceted overhead glass. Thermal performance, water management, and structural load coordination handled with engineering rigor.
Glass as a structural element — frameless assemblies and point-fixed systems.
Structural glazing uses silicone adhesive or point-fixed hardware to transfer loads from glass panels to the building structure without conventional aluminum framing. ACG installs structural silicone facade systems and point-fixed spider fittings for frameless glass walls, glass fins, and architectural feature elements.
Structural laminated glass floor systems rated for pedestrian loading.
Digital ceramic frit printing, acid-etched, and art glass for architectural feature applications.
Commercial skylight systems in aluminum framing with safety-rated glass and thermal performance.
Structural glass canopy systems for building entries, covered walkways, and architectural features.
