When we created Glasspan Panel Systems three decades ago, the idea was to rock the world of architects and designers. Now, for the first time, they could: Create stunning, long-lasting interior glass walls and ceilings installed by interior trades; Choose from an infinite number of colors in plain, metallic or pearl finish; Design with a broad selection of metal trims; Be truly "green". That was three decades ago.
Since then we've solved thousands of interior design challenges around the globe, shipping painstakingly finished panels ready to hang upon arrival. We've attracted a parade of imitators. So far none has achieved the close tolerances, beauty, strength, easy maintenance and longevity of our Glasspan(tm) Systems. The imitators continue to come and go, but... We're still here, with consistent, meticulous execution.
