How our shop helps

  • DOT-approved vehicle glazing Marked and documented automotive and recreational vehicle glass, not a shop working around the requirement.
  • Ceramic frit screen printing Borders, blackout bands, logos and legends fired into the glass during tempering. Permanent.
  • Large-format CNC cutting Shapes, notches and radii cut from your DXF or DWG on lites up to 90" × 144".
  • Scheduled releases Blanket PO with weekly pulls — we hold the inventory so your floor doesn't.
SEND IT OVER

A drawing beats a phone call

DXF, DWG, PDF or a dimensioned sketch. We check hole placement and edge distances against tempering limits before we price it — so the quote you get is the part you can actually have.

FAQ

Questions we get about bus glazing

Something not covered? Call the shop — you'll reach someone who has run the oven.

Can you print emergency exit legends?

Yes — exit instructions and any required legend go on as ceramic frit, fired in during tempering, so they can't be scraped off.

Do you handle fleet rebuild quantities?

Yes. Give us the pattern set and quantities per bus and we'll schedule the run and rack it by position.

Can you match glass on an older body?

Send a template or the old lite. We build the pattern and send a first article before running the fleet.
