Heavy Effects Designer Glass

What Heavy Effects Designer Glass does

Heavy Effects Designer Glass is a privately held decorative glass and mirror design firm that operates as a branded product line under parent fabrication company Elite Glass and Stone, based in Tempe, Arizona (with firmographic listing of Scottsdale). The company specializes in custom and ready-made decorative glass treatments for interior spaces, serving architects, interior designers, hospitality operators, corporate clients, residential customers, and select public-sector and healthcare projects.

Its core technical offering centers on two proprietary capabilities: a Precision Etch glass treatment that enables flexible, panel-to-panel seamless etching with adjustable opacity and rapid iteration, and UV digital printing that applies high-resolution, full-color imagery directly to glass or mirrored surfaces. These capabilities support a broad design catalog organized into seven named collections (Elemental, Aura, Fusion, Bokeh, Infinity, Sensory, Illusions), plus decorative mirrors, wall art, the Henry Jerome Artist Series, Atlas Luminaries, and glass sculptures. All fabrication is performed in-house at a Tempe facility on clear, low-iron, mirror, and cast glass, with laminated products certified to ANSI 97.1 and ASTM safety standards.

The business model combines a consultative, quote-based sales process for custom architectural and commercial projects (3–6 week lead times) with a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (shop.heavyeffects.com) for ready-made mirrors and wall art. Pricing on the e-commerce line starts around $120 for entry-level decorative mirrors and ranges up to roughly $4,000 for hospitality-grade mirrors; custom commercial project pricing is handled per quote. The firm is led by founder/Owner-Designer Artist Jerome Decker and Sales/Marketing Director Deanna Decker, with a reported headcount of 1–10 employees and a geographic footprint concentrated in Arizona and the broader Western United States.
