Core offering

Hartung Glass Industries is a custom glass fabricator producing high-performance flat glass products for commercial, residential, interior, and security applications. Operating 10 manufacturing facilities across the US and Canada, the company cuts, tempers, laminates, insulates, prints, and coats glass to customer specifications and supplies wholesale cases and sheets of raw glass, mirrors, and shower enclosure hardware (Agalite brand). Its output spans insulating glass units, laminated glass, heat-treated/heat-soaked glass, security glazing, decorative printed glass, shower enclosures, entrance systems, and railings.

Product overview

Hartung Glass Industries is the largest independent glass fabricator in North America, operating nearly one million square feet across 10 manufacturing facilities in the US and Canada since 1924. Its product portfolio is organized as a unified fabrication platform offering over 17 distinct product categories spanning commercial, residential, and interior glass applications. The core offerings include insulating glass units (IGUs) in commercial and residential variants, laminated glass, heat-treated and heat-soaked glass, and specialty fabricated products including bird-friendly glass, security glass (SchoolShield), and printed glass (HD digital printing via Dip-Tech, silkscreen frit, and spandrel). The company also offers finished goods such as shower enclosures (Agalite brand), entrance systems (TVS Total Vision System), and glass railings, alongside distribution products including raw glass types, mirrors, and interior glass solutions. The portfolio is unified by shared manufacturing capabilities (tempering furnaces, CNC equipment, lamination autoclaves), shared supplier relationships (Vitro, Guardian Glass, Pilkington, AGC, Saint Gobain), and shared quality certifications (IGCC, SGCC, SentryGlas Certified Fabricator). The company serves commercial, residential, municipal, educational, and hospitality end markets.

Used by architects and glazing contractors for commercial buildings, office towers, and mixed-use developments.
• Residential Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) Customizable dual-pane residential insulating glass units with hermetically sealed airspace, warm edge spacers, argon gas-fill, and Low-E coated glass options for energy efficiency and sound attenuation. Used by homeowners, builders, and remodelers for new or replacement residential windows.
• Laminated Glass Permanently bonded multi-pane glass with polymeric interlayer (PVB, Aliphatic Polyurethane, or Ionoplast/SentryGlas) offering safety glazing, UV blockage over 99%, noise reduction, and structural integrity. Used in windows, doors, railings, and canopies for commercial and residential projects.
• Security Glass Fortified laminated glass systems providing four levels of protection — SchoolShield forced-entry resistant, bullet-resistant, blast-resistant, and hurricane-resistant glazing — using SentryGlas Ionoplast interlayers. Used by schools, courthouses, airports, and government facilities.
• Bird Friendly Glass Bird-safe glass products designed to prevent bird collisions using visual markers or patterns following the 2x4 rule (2 inches or less horizontal or 4 inches or less vertical spacing). Available with acid-etch, ceramic frit, UV, and plastic film treatments. Used in commercial and residential buildings seeking bird-friendly certification.

Available in standard and custom colors with tight color tolerance and heat-treated to prevent thermal stress. Used in commercial curtain wall applications.
• Heat-Treated Glass Glass heated to approximately 1,150°F and rapidly cooled via quenching, available as heat-strengthened (twice the strength of annealed glass) or fully tempered (four times stronger) per ASTM C1048. Produced using Glaston FC500 furnaces with iLooK optical distortion monitoring. Used as a base for further fabrication in commercial and residential applications.
• Heat Soaked Glass Tempered glass subjected to a secondary heat-soak process to detect and eliminate nickel sulfide inclusions, reducing the risk of spontaneous breakage. Provides improved durability for high-performance curtain wall and overhead glazing applications.
• Glass Protection Coating Surface protection coatings including Diamon-Fusion (dual-sided, machine-applied), ShowerGuard, and Easy Clean 10, creating an ultra-thin hydrophobic barrier that repels water, reduces cleaning frequency, and protects against UV, scratches, and stains.
