Applications

Spandrel Glass is used in multiple building markets where masked yet architectural façades are needed:

  • Commercial & Office Buildings – To conceal structural elements or mechanical systems behind glass on curtain walls and façades
  • Retail & Shopping Centers – In storefront elevations, upper-level façades, and elevated mall exteriors
  • Hospitality & Hotels – For sleek exterior wall sections above or beside transparent glazing zones
  • Healthcare & Institutional – In façade transitions or above windows where privacy or concealment is required
  • Education & Institutional – For clean building exteriors in schools, universities, and public buildings
  • Residential & Multi-Family – In glass curtain wall apartments, mixed-use towers, and luxury residences with full-glass elevations

Features

  • Opaque Exterior Coating — Ceramic frit or silicone coatings applied to the glass surface to block visibility
  • Color Matching Flexibility — Coating colors can be tailored to match adjacent vision glass or design palette
  • Smooth Monolithic Surface — The coated side becomes the finished face, providing a uniform exterior look
  • Coating Methods Versatility — Coatings can be applied via spray, roller, or curtain-coating equipment
  • Compatibility with Insulating Units — Spandrel glass can be built into IG units or laminated assemblies
  • Customization Options — Coatings can be adjusted in density or pattern for semi-opaqueness or aesthetic effect
  • Durable Coating — Ceramic frit and silicone finishes are designed for long-term adhesion and weather resistance

Performance

  • Masking Capability — Completely blocks view of the space behind while maintaining exterior consistency
  • Thermal Behavior — Coated spandrel glass handles thermal expansion and stress inherent to façade glazing
  • Durability & Weather Resistance — Coatings are formulated to resist UV degradation, moisture, and environmental exposure
  • Color Stability — Ceramic or silicone coatings maintain color and opacity over time under sun exposure
  • Structural Compatibility — Spandrel units behave structurally like exterior glass, supporting wind loads and frame attachment
  • System Integration — Spandrel glass integrates seamlessly with adjacent vision glass, curtain wall frames, and façade systems
