Slide 1

"Glasshape proved to be an invaluable partner on the Sapphire Lounge project. Their unwavering commitment to both service and quality was instrumental in the project's resounding success. We continue to rely on Glasshape as our preferred vendor for glazing systems and will undoubtedly turn to them first for future projects."

"The new partnership with Glasshape on the Headlands project was a success and one that will continue. This project had several different radii and very tight tolerances. Glasshape did an amazing job ensuring the edgework, radiuses and hole patterns were exact. The glass arrived at our facility and first thing we noticed is that it was packaged securely and both sides of the glass were protected by film ensuring no damage during shipment. Glasshape’s attention to detail, schedule, logistics as well communication throughout the project were like none other. We look forward to working with Glasshape on future projects. The finished product speaks for itself, but you definitely notice the pride and care that was taken on every lite of glass."

"We had been talking about using Glasshape for our curved and twisted glass for a while. Finally we did. They came out and did a 3D scan of the stairs so that we didn't have to make templates. Then they created a model of the stair and the pieces of glass for approval. The glass arrived on the promised date. The install went really well. They were hard standoffs to hit because we could only use a 5/8" hole so there wasn't much play. Every hole hit where it was supposed to. I was very impressed. The cost was a little more than standard curved glass but it was worth every penny."

"Having worked with Glasshape in the past, on both larger and smaller projects, the decision to work with them once again on Quality Chemical Laboratories was easy. The design and installation of a point based, curved system is complex and requires an extremely high level of detail through all phases as the quality of system depends almost entirely on the fitment and quality of the glass. Glasshape delivers curved glass that is among the highest quality I’ve seen in the industry. Combined with their streamlined logistics and professionalism, they are a valued partner and have helped in our success on many projects."

John Andreacchi

Slide 6

"After reviewing the Kenilworth project, I knew I would be working with Glasshape again to complete it. This is one of the most challenging projects that we have done, and Derek Spoel was very helpful in finding solutions to keep it moving forward. He was able to answer any and all questions we had as we were progressing through the project. The pricing was very competitive given the complexity, and we were able to keep it to a reasonable level to win the job. Once they finished production of the glass, we were able to track it as it arrived on time to our location. Regardless of the size of the project they are my go-to for bent glass. With the quality of the glass and customer service they make it very difficult to consider anyone else."

"Glass and Metal Craft (G+MC) was chosen by glazing contractor Architectural Glass and Metal to engineer, perform complex on-site measurements and deliver a complete glass stair and railing package staged for easy installation on the Amway Treehouse project in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For the complex curved glass portions, G+MC chose to work with Glasshape, who has a tremendous reputation for spectacular service, trustworthy project management and beautiful finished glass products with highly accurate dimensions. True to form, Glasshape did not disappoint. They were very easy to work with and delivered a great product, on-time and right. We look forward to our next project collaboration!"
