National Glass Program

Our top-of-the-line Italian made specialty glass provides a gorgeous look while providing the safety and durability of tempered glass, which in the event it is broken will crumble into small fragments instead of sharp, hazardous pieces. Tempered glass is normal glass that has been through a process of extreme heat and rapid cooling which changes the break pattern, making it stronger than normal glass. This property can reduce the risk of injury and damage if the glass happens to break during or after installation and is why tempered glass is often called safety glass.

Glass Inserts offered through this program are used in our Aluminum Frame Doors but can also be ordered for use in Wood, MDF, and Deco-form glass and french lite doors.

We offer 8 glass insert options that due to the tempering process are more durable than standard glass.

Glass Insert Options

Glass Inserts / Clear

Clear Inserts are perfect for showing collectibles and display pieces without having the glass interfere.

Glass Inserts / Fog

Fog Inserts show some color and general shape but predominantly conceals the contents behind the glass. Etched technology provides a consistent look, eliminating the fingerprinted look common with many fog-style options in the market.

Glass Inserts / Mosaic

Glass Inserts / Corduroy

Mosaic and Corduroy Inserts, with etched designs on the front, allow items to be seen but obscure the contents slightly so the design of the etching takes the focal point. The etched pattern direction will be vertical as shown above.

Glass Inserts / Black

Glass Inserts / White

Glass Inserts / Cream

Completely conceal cabinet contents with one of our 3 solid color glass options. Black, White, and Cream Inserts are back painted with a stylish, acid etched front, completely concealing cabinet contents. Colors applied on the back of the glass are heat treated for durability and color retention.

Cleaning Instructions:

Etching technology allows our Glass Inserts to be easily cleaned with soapy water or standard mild glass cleaner.

Safety Glass

Our top-of-the-line specialty glass provides a gorgeous look while providing the safety and durability of tempered glass, which in the event it is broken will crumble into small fragments instead of large hazardous pieces. Tempered glass is normal glass that has been through a process of extreme heat and rapid cooling which makes it stronger than normal glass. Through this process the break pattern of the glass changes from large sharp pieces to finger sized pieces. This property is often why tempered glass is called safety glass.
