What Spandrel Glass means
Spandrel Glass means opaque or treated glass used to conceal structural areas in commercial building façades.
Opaque or treated glass used to conceal structural areas in commercial building façades. In practical terms, this matters because glass projects are specified around the opening, the way the space is used, the safety or performance requirement, the desired appearance, and the installation conditions. For Arizona Glass & Door, this term should be used to educate customers before a quote request and to route them toward custom glass, tempered glass, patterned glass, heavy glass, mirrors, storefront glass, shower doors, and residential window glass. Customers usually encounter this term while choosing material, appearance, thickness, safety performance, or replacement options. The page should avoid overpromising, should explain when professional measurement is needed, and should invite the customer to upload photos or request service.
