Vitro Architectural Glass has launched its latest innovation, Spandrelite glass.

Product details

Designed to enhance the aesthetic versatility of building façades, Spandrelite glass is a painted glass solution that transforms structural elements into visual features, offering architects and designers a tool to achieve their design visions.

Spandrelite glass is a game-changer for architects seeking to blend function with beauty,” says Wendy Carroll, Senior Project Manager, Vitro. “By providing architects with a product that can elevate ordinary structural elements, we empower them to create visually striking buildings with elevated design cohesion and performance.”

Spandrelite glass comes in three colors, black, white and warm gray. It helps obscure unsightly building components while delivering durability and resisting moisture, heat and UV exposure.

Spandrelite glass is shipped as annealed and must be heat-treated as part of final processing to fully cure the coating and to withstand impact and scratches that pose a threat to exterior glass. As a result, pre-coated stock sheets of Spandrelite glass can easily be kept in inventory by fabricators across the country for faster order fulfillment.

Spandrelite glass is available from hundreds of Vitro glass fabricators in the U.S. and Canada.
