The Guardian glass jumbo coater, under construction at its Carleton, Mich., manufacturing complex, is a milestone in a history of oversized glass production from the company that delivers solutions to architects and fabricators around the world.
“One need only look at the Guardian Glass jumbo coaters around the world to illustrate our experience in jumbo coated glass manufacturing,” says Kevin Baird, president & CEO of Guardian Glass. “We’re on-schedule to launch our 12th global jumbo coater in 2018.”
“While the trend of architects designing projects with larger glass sizes continues to grow, we also see architects designing projects with large volumes of coated glass,” adds Rick Zoulek, vice president – Americas, Guardian Glass. “By adding the Carleton jumbo coater for our North American customers, we simplify the supply chain while offering our customers 20 years of experience in jumbo coated glass capability.”
The Michigan-based jumbo coater will deliver to North American architects the Guardian SunGuard portfolio of low-E coatings on jumbo glass sizes.
Guardian’s SunGuard glass product line for commercial applications offers solar control and a variety of colors and performance levels. SunGuard glass products provide solutions for appearance, economics and energy efficiency, and are available through an international network of independent Guardian Select fabricators.
Guardian Glass will be promoting its capability, along with new products and services, at the 15th annual GlassBuild America, Sept. 12-14, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
