Gardner Glass Products

What Gardner Glass Products does

Gardner Glass Products, operating under the 'Dreamwalls' brand, is a US-based manufacturer and fabricator of decorative glass and mirror products for commercial and residential interiors. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the company operates two manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas, and has cumulatively delivered over 1 billion square feet of glass and mirror products. Its core capability set spans in-house fabrication processes including tempering, chemical etching, sandblasting, backpainting, and lamination, organized into four product collections: Modern (glass markerboards, tempered glass, tinted/etched/sandblasted mirrors), Classy (antique, clarity, standard, and luxe mirrors), Colorful (backpainted glass, marker walls, spandrel coatings), and Ultra Custom (laminated glass and mirrors, tempered mirrors, pattern glass).

The company sells almost exclusively B2B through a specification-driven motion, targeting architects, interior designers, contractors, glaziers, and installers. The buyer journey is structured as a four-step process (sample, specification, quote, install), with quote-based project pricing and no publicly disclosed price list. Long-tenured distribution relationships, including a 30+ year partnership with Karas & Karas Glass, underpin channel reach. Visible end-customer projects span hospitality (UMC Health, Jashan Indian Restaurant, Elora at Buckhead), retail (Nike King of Prussia, Automobile Gallery), commercial real estate (Galleria Office Tower, Windsor Preston Apartments), and commercial interiors (Sheetz DC Gym).

Gardner Glass Products is a privately held, presumably founder- or family-owned US corporation with no disclosed institutional ownership, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no leadership changes in the available record. The company has actively invested in brand-building under the Dreamwalls identity and in digital specification tools (Revit/BIM files, sample request flows, multi-channel social presence) to reinforce its position in architectural specification. Revenue, profit, and detailed ownership information are not publicly disclosed.
