What Circle Redmont does
Circle Redmont is a specialty manufacturer of structural glass panel systems operating as a DBA (Doing Business As) brand under Light Penetrating Systems, headquartered in Medina, Ohio with a Florida warehouse and distribution facility in Melbourne. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates custom structural glass products for architectural applications, including walkable glass floors, glass pavers integrated with precast concrete, glass bullet and cast iron vault lights, glass block panels, plank glass floor systems, and composite cast iron wall and ceiling panels. Its product portfolio spans six proprietary/trademarked platforms — 71R, 81R, 82R, 91R, SolarWhite, and Elite — each targeting distinct architectural use cases ranging from high-traffic transit and sidewalk installations to historic landmark restoration and luxury residential features.
The company's core technology centers on integrating solid or hollow glass elements (pavers, bullets, blocks, planks) with metal or concrete frameworks to produce load-bearing, fire-resistant, and thermally efficient architectural components. Precision tolerances within the 30,000th of an inch are achieved through in-house quality assurance across milling, painting, welding, shaping, fabrication, and assembly. Circle Redmont's 81R Glass Bullets & Cast Iron system is formally recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission as a suitable replacement for vintage vault lights, anchoring the company's position in historic preservation work.
Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-based custom fabrication orders placed by architects, designers, and building owners, with products engineered to specification and shipped directly to project sites. The primary go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting the architectural and design community, supported by content marketing through the glassflooring.com and circleredmont.com websites. The company is privately held under Sandor family control via Light Penetrating Systems, with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed executive leadership team in the source material. Notable installations include Chicago's Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, the Times Square sidewalk vaults in NYC, and The Dakota building in NYC.
