What Reflection Window + Wall does

Reflection Window + Wall (RWW) is a US-headquartered architectural building enclosure company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and installs unitized window wall systems (7000, 9000, 9500, and 9700 Series), curtain wall systems (8000 Series), and complementary products including terrace doors, vents, punched windows, storefronts, and railings. Its technology base rests on aluminum framing with polyamide thermal breaks, structurally glazed construction, and proprietary patents including US #9,663,945 (9500 Series glass slab cover detail) and US #9,611,643 B2 (flush slab edge covers), as well as the patent-pending Tomahawk Anchor that underpins its 3-hour ASTME2037-listed UWALL fire-rated system launched in 2020.

RWW operates as a B2B specialty contractor serving enterprise real estate developers, general contractors, and institutional clients across residential, commercial, hospitality, educational, and life science segments. The company's go-to-market is consultative and project-based: pre-construction services including budgeting, estimating, design-assist, and design-build drive early customer engagement, with full-service execution from engineering through self-performing installation. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no standardized tiers.

The company operates eight US offices (Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Nashville, West Palm Beach, Dallas, and Denver/Glendale) plus international engineering offices in Manila, Philippines (opened 2016) and Valencia, Spain (opened 2019). It employs over 200 workers across five countries and reports projects in 10 states and 20 cities with a 15% annual project growth rate. RWW has been ranked No. 3 nationally among US glaziers by revenue (US Glass News, 2024) and Top 3 in Glass Magazine's 2025 ranking. Named enterprise customers include Related Companies, Lendlease, Hines, Trammell Crow, Fifield Companies, Carmel Partners, RXR Realty, Gerding Edlen, and Giarratana. The company is privately held, founder-led (Rodrigo d'Escoto Jr., President and CEO), and one of the largest minority-owned companies in its sector.
