When it comes to architectural design and installation, quality service is the mark of advancing a project to notability. At Advanced Glass & Metal, we are pro-active and take every effort to provide the services you expect from a top-caliber architectural building envelope contractor. Some of the services we offer include:
When it comes to building envelopes and interior fit-outs, we understand the importance of accurate shop drawings for coordinating among multiple contractors. That's why we provide detailed Shop Drawings throughout your project. All our shop drawings include:
- Floorplans and elevations
- Architectural details depicting:
- Neighboring conditions
- Required clearances
- Anchoring requirements
- Glazing and metal finish schedules
Many architectural glazing and metal solutions often require architectural testing for the building to pass inspection or receive a certification. Whether you need testing performed on a mockup or the installation itself, our team is well-versed in the testing process and paperwork requirements.
Testing Services including:
- Air, Water, and Structural testing in the field, on a mockup, or in a lab
- Fire-rating testing
- Acoustical Performance testing
- Seismic testing
Testing Certifications for products rated for:
- Blast
- Fire
- Impact
- Thermal properties
No matter the need, our team can help identify and fulfill the architectural testing requirements for your building envelope project.
At Advanced Glass & Metal, we aim to make the submittal process as seamless as can be. If required by specification, we can provide:
- Architectural Shop Drawings
- Material Data
- Product Data
- Glass Samples
- Finish Samples
- Mullion/Framing Samples
- Sealant Samples
- Product Certifications
- Sample Manufacturer Warranties
- LEED documentation for composition of materials, source of raw materials and assembled products

-
Indoor Environmental Quality
- Manufacturer and product documentation needed for Low-Emitting Materials-Adhesives and Sealants credits
- Supplemental Daylight and Views Calculations for Daylight and Views-Daylight credits
When it comes to building envelopes, full-size mockups can be fundamental in helping architects and engineers fully visualize the energy saving capacity and acoustical properties of the building shell.
Pre-construction mockups for both exterior and interior components are becoming industry standard procedure. The mockup gives designers, contractors, and building or company owners the opportunity to assess a three-dimensional representation of a design, so that functionality, aesthetics, and quality can be evaluated down to the smallest detail.
With a mock-up, the project team is able to foresee problems and solve them before they happen on a large scale. Doing mock-ups may reduce punch list items and callbacks, which saves the company and the clients time, money, and potential for conflict.
