Rochester Insulated Glass produces Heat Strengthened spandrels with a ceramic frit permanently fused to one surface.

Achieving twice the strength of annealed glass, heat strengthening also advantageously provides the stabilizing of larger fragments to remain in the frames in the event of breakage.

Colors

Although Spandrels are, in fact, available in innumerable colors, as well as custom colors, RIG makes certain colors immediately available. These colors include the most popular and widely used.

These typical colors include grey, bronze, lava bronze, black, graylite 14, graphite, solex, and others. All available colors may be applied to tinted and certain reflective substrates as well as clear.

Installation and Assemblies

The durable ceramic frit, which comes in a variety of colors, is always produced to be installed as the number 2 surface in monolithic glazing or number 3 or 4 in insulating glazing.

Aesthetically pleasant, functionally appropriate and effective, spandrel panels proved excellent insulating systems combined as an hermetically sealed insulating unit, or when backed with commercially available, insulating material such as fiber glass with a foil vapor barrier. And of course the design criteria may include additional metal backing applied directly to the installation.
