Client Vision
The management at the Drawing Center wanted to create a modern, minimalistic look while ensuring the safety and separation of specific areas in the center. They requested custom-made glass barriers that would be almost invisible, yet strong enough to serve as protective barriers. The glass needed to be of the highest clarity, which is why starfire low iron glass was chosen for the project. The barriers also had to fit perfectly into the space, with custom corners angled at 45° to match the design of the room.
Why Starfire Low Iron Glass?
Starfire low iron tempered glass is a premium material known for its exceptional clarity and strength. Unlike regular glass, starfire glass has a much lower iron content, which significantly reduces the greenish tint commonly found in standard glass. This results in a crystal-clear appearance that is perfect for applications where aesthetics are important. For the Drawing Center, this type of glass was ideal because it allowed the barriers to be nearly invisible, blending seamlessly into the modern, clean design of the space. Additionally, the glass used for the barriers was tempered, which means it underwent a special heat treatment to increase its strength and durability. This was essential for ensuring the safety of visitors and staff at the Drawing Center, as tempered glass is much more resistant to impacts compared to standard glass.
Solution Provided
Our team began by carefully measuring the space at the Drawing Center, paying close attention to the areas where the glass barriers would be installed. Since the barriers required custom corners angled at 45°, we worked closely with our glass manufacturer to ensure that each piece was fabricated to the exact dimensions needed. The glass panels were made from 3/8″ starfire tempered glass, providing both clarity and strength. Once the glass was fabricated, our installation team arrived on-site to complete the project. The installation process took just one day, as we ensured that each panel was securely installed using high-quality mounting brackets that were discreet and did not detract from the overall design of the space. The precise alignment of the glass panels and the careful handling of the material ensured a flawless installation.
