Key Features:
- Bird-friendly markers designed to be easily visible to birds for their protection, while remaining discreet and unobtrusive to human occupants.
- Complies with Ontario municipal standards and Bird friendly guidelines set forth for each city.
- Ideal for high-rise buildings, condos, and urban architecture
- Environmentally responsible and LEED-friendly
Heat-Soaked Glass
Enhanced Safety with Heat-Soaked Tempered Glass
Blackline Aluminum’s heat-soaked glass undergoes additional thermal treatment to eliminate impurities that can cause spontaneous breakage. It’s perfect for overhead glazing, balconies, and other structural glass applications.
Key Features:
Detects and removes nickel sulfide inclusions
Reduces risk of spontaneous breakage
Complies with safety standards for structural glazing
Tempered Glass
Durable and Safe for High-Traffic Applications
Our tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass. It’s widely used in applications where impact resistance and safety are essential, such as glass railings, shower enclosures, commercial windows, and institutional buildings.
Key Features:
Shatters into small, blunt pieces for safety
Meets ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety standards
Scratch and heat-resistant
IGU Line – Double and Triple Glazing
Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) for Energy Efficiency
Blackline Aluminum offers a range of high-performance double, triple glazed, and commercial glass windows engineered to minimize energy loss and improve indoor comfort. All IGUs can be customized with optional Low-E (low emissivity) coatings to enhance thermal efficiency.
Double Glass:
Our double glazed units consist of two glass panes separated by an insulating air or gas layer, offering excellent thermal insulation, sound dampening, and cost-effectiveness—ideal for residential use.
Triple Glass:
Triple glazed windows feature three layers of glass and two insulating spaces, delivering superior energy efficiency, greater noise reduction, and enhanced resistance to condensation and temperature extremes.
Commercial Glass:
Designed for demanding environments, our commercial glass solutions provide durability, large-format flexibility, added security options, and full compliance with energy and safety standards for commercial and institutional buildings.
Key Features:
Two or three panes with air/gas insulation layers
Low-E coatings for energy savings
Reduces heat transfer and noise pollution
Increases comfort and property value
Ideal for both residential and commercial buildings
Spandrel & Ceramic Spandrel Glass
Seamless Design with Functional Opacity
Spandrel glass is used to cover structural building elements such as floors, columns, and mechanical systems. Our ceramic-coated spandrel panels offer an attractive, opaque finish that complements curtain walls and building facades.
Key Features:
Customizable in color and finish
Conceals non-vision areas of building structures
Thermal and UV resistant
Suitable for high-rise and mid-rise construction
