Commercial IG Expertise
Built for Commercial Demands
Commercial insulated glass units are a different category from residential work. They're larger, heavier, subject to stricter energy codes, and the logistics of replacing them in occupied buildings require experience and planning.
At All About Glass, we handle commercial IG work for property managers, building owners, contractors, and facility directors across the Denver metro. We understand the importance of minimizing tenant disruption, meeting code requirements, and completing multi-unit projects efficiently.
Every commercial IG unit we fabricate is built to your exact specifications — glass type, dimensions, spacer configuration, and any required performance ratings.
Why Commercial IG Fails
🌡️
Thermal Stress
Large glass panes face extreme expansion and contraction in Colorado's climate, stressing seals over time.
🏗️
Building Movement
Structural settling, wind loading, and frame flex all put pressure on IG seals in commercial curtain wall and window systems.
⏰
Age & UV Exposure
Denver's 300+ days of sunshine accelerates sealant degradation — most commercial IG units have a 15–20 year service life.

Most Common
Office Buildings
Curtain wall systems, punched windows, and storefront glazing in mid-rise and low-rise office buildings. We work around tenant schedules to minimize disruption.

Industrial
Industrial & Warehouse
Large-format industrial windows and skylights. Safety glazing upgrades, impact-resistant options, and energy code compliance for facilities of all sizes.
Hospitality
Hotels & Hospitality
Room-by-room IG replacement programs that work around occupancy. Acoustic glass options to reduce traffic and exterior noise — a significant guest experience upgrade.
HOA

We work directly with HOA boards and property management companies on building-wide glass programs — one point of contact, consistent quality, volume pricing.
Commercial Glass Specs
Performance Glass for Commercial Applications
☀️ High-Performance Low-E
Commercial Low-E coatings are engineered for specific orientations and climates. We specify the right coating for your building's solar exposure and energy goals — reducing HVAC load and meeting ASHRAE 90.1 requirements.
🔒 Laminated Safety Glass
Required in many commercial applications — overhead glazing, entry areas, hurricane zones, and anywhere human impact is a concern. Holds together on breakage, providing both safety and security.
💪 Tempered & Heat-Strengthened
Commercial applications often specify heat-strengthened glass (2× standard strength) or fully tempered (4–5×). We fabricate both to ASTM C1048 standards with permanent etched certification.
🔇 Acoustic / STC-Rated
Buildings near highways, airports, or train corridors benefit enormously from acoustic IG units. We fabricate units with laminated inner panes and asymmetric glass thicknesses for maximum STC performance.
🌐 Spandrel Glass
Opaque glass panels used between floors in curtain wall systems. Available in painted, ceramic frit, and film-backed options to match your building's aesthetic.

FAQs
Commercial IG Questions
How do you handle IG replacement in occupied buildings?
We work floor by floor or wing by wing, scheduling work around tenant occupancy. For particularly sensitive tenants, we can schedule nights and weekends. We use interior protection and clean up completely at the end of each shift. Our commercial project managers coordinate directly with your property management team.
Do you provide documentation for energy code compliance?
Yes. We provide product data sheets, NFRC performance ratings, and installation documentation for all commercial projects. This supports ASHRAE 90.1 compliance and can be used for ENERGY STAR building certifications or LEED credits.
Can you match existing glass in a curtain wall system?
In most cases, yes. We can match existing glass color, reflectivity, and performance specs so replacement units blend with the existing facade. Exact matching depends on the original glass specification — bring us the original spec sheet or we can analyze an existing sample.
Do you work with general contractors and property managers?
Absolutely — the majority of our commercial work comes through property managers, general contractors, and facility managers. We're experienced working within the protocols of managed properties, providing certificates of insurance, following site safety requirements, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders.
