These laminates can be used for both interior and exterior products. We also produce LCD Switchable glass and miniature LED lighted glass panels.
We laminate glass to produce non-skid stair treads, railing, canopies, flooring and cracked ice table tops. Also, customers have ordered laminated glass with colored or textured film which has been used for wall hangings and counter tops.

Insulated Glass
Insulated Glass Unit (commonly referred to as IGU or IG) is a set of two or more lites of glass, spaced apart with aluminum spacers that are filled with descicant and hermetically sealed to form a single glazed unit. The desiccant is to prevent condensation and improve insulating performance. The air space between each lite is to improve the thermal performance of glass when used in architectural applications.
The primary seal is polyisobutylene (PIB), the most effective barrier to moisture vapor and water. Our secondary seal consists of polysulfide for conventionally glazed applications, or silicone for structural-glazed applications.
Insulated glazing may be framed in a sash or frame or in a curtain wall. IGUs are also commonly used for replacement windows.
AGI offers a number of glass options such as clear, tinted and Low-E. To add energy efficiency, we offer Argon Gas filled IGU's and we can produce IGUs with muntins. We provide the standard straight muntins as well as bent muntins for windows that have sunburst or are round. Muntins are available in a variety of colors. We can provide aluminm and colored spacers as well as simulated divided lite (SDL) spacers.
What sets AGI apart from its' competition is that our IGUs are meticulously fabricated and they are cleaned prior to leaving the shop so that they are ready to install when they arrive to our customers. Because we use a high grade PIB you will never have that sticky and tacky feeling on the outside of the unit after it is dry.

We Promise You the BestWorking hard doesn't always mean working smart. Our cross training program along with our multiple quality control work stations, translates into a diverse staff that inspects your glass at various stages of the fabrication process. We do everything in our power to prevent mistakes leaving the shop.
However, should a mistake leave the shop, that remake will be right behind your order within 24-48 hours later. We have been in the field and know what it is like to have a final payment held up due to an incomplete job or to have to go back to a job multiple times, which is why it is so important to us, to do it right the first time. |
