Vitro Architectural Glass is excited to announce the launch of its latest product innovation, Spandrelite™ glass.
This advanced painted glass solution is specifically engineered to transform the often-overlooked structural elements of building façades into captivating visual features, providing architects and designers with a powerful new tool to realize their creative aspirations.
Spandrelite™ glass represents a significant step forward in façade design, seamlessly blending essential functionality with enhanced aesthetic appeal. As Wendy Carroll, Senior Project Manager at Vitro, explains, “Spandrelite™ glass is a game-changer for architects seeking to blend function with beauty. By providing architects with a product that can elevate ordinary structural elements, we empower them to create visually striking buildings with elevated design cohesion and performance.”
Available in a curated palette of three versatile colors – classic black, crisp white, and a sophisticated warm grey – Spandrelite™ glass is designed to complement a broad spectrum of architectural glass types. Beyond its aesthetic contribution, Spandrelite™ effectively conceals unsightly building components, ensuring a clean and polished façade. Furthermore, it offers exceptional durability, providing robust resistance to moisture, heat, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term performance and visual integrity. 
A key advantage of Spandrelite™ glass lies in its processing flexibility. Shipped as annealed glass, it requires heat treatment during final processing. This crucial step fully cures the specialized coating, enhancing its resistance to impact and scratches – potential threats to exterior glass surfaces. This processing workflow allows fabricators nationwide to maintain pre-coated stock sheets of Spandrelite™ glass in inventory, facilitating significantly faster order fulfillment and streamlining project timelines.
Spandrelite™ glass is readily available through Vitro’s extensive network of hundreds of authorized glass fabricators across the USA and Canada. This widespread availability ensures consistent quality, efficient production, and streamlined delivery for both new construction projects and replacement needs.
With the introduction of Spandrelite™ glass, Vitro Architectural Glass continues its commitment to providing innovative solutions that empower the architectural community to push the boundaries of design and create truly exceptional buildings.
