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.
  • Tempering under the same roof Cut, printed and tempered in one building, so a print revision doesn't ripple through three subcontractors.
  • Scheduled releases Blanket PO with weekly pulls — we hold the inventory so your floor doesn't.

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 on-road vehicle glazing

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

Can you supply windshields?

No — windshields are laminated glass, a different process. We supply tempered glazing for the side and rear locations where it's permitted.

Why does bonded glass need a frit band?

The ceramic band shields the urethane from UV and gives the adhesive a consistent surface, and it hides the bond line from outside.

How do production programs run?

Pattern approval, then a first article for fit, then scheduled releases against a blanket PO.
