How Fab Glass Delivered Heavy-Duty, Unstamped Glass for Vertex

In June 2026, Fab Glass and Mirror successfully fulfilled a highly specialized, heavy-duty glass order for corporate client Vertex. The project required the fabrication and delivery of three massive, ultra-thick round tempered glass panels designed to precise architectural specifications. Managed by our sales specialist Sid Mathews, the project highlighted our ability to deliver oversized, premium-grade glass solutions with zero structural aesthetic branding ("Fab Stamp") while offering seamless, cost-effective freight logistics across the United States.

The Challenge

Massive Scale, Zero Compromise

Fulfilling an order for 3/4"-thick clear glass panels presents distinct manufacturing and logistical challenges. At nearly an inch thick, glass panels with a 49-1/2" diameter are exceptionally heavy and require specialized handling during both the cutting and polishing phases.

The client also explicitly requested Tempered Glass W/O Fab Stamp. While tempering is legally and structurally required for safety, standard industry practice etches a permanent manufacturer's stamp into the corner of the glass. For this project, Vertex requested a completely unmarked surface to preserve a minimalist design language. Achieving full structural compliance through the heat-treatment tempering process without the traditional physical stamp required rigid quality-control oversight at Fab Glass's fabrication facilities.

The Solution & Execution

Fab Glass and Mirror leveraged its production capabilities to execute the order in three parts:

1. Precision Fabrication. The three 49-1/2" circles were cut to exact dimensional tolerances. Edges were finished with a premium Flat Polish for a smooth, safe-to-touch, water-clear perimeter.

2. Unstamped Tempering Protocol. The production team ran a specialized tracking process through the tempering furnace, meeting all safety-tempering standards while keeping the glass free of the physical manufacturer's stamp, per the client's request.

3. Strategic Freight Logistics. Given the combined weight of three 3/4"-thick, 49-1/2" panels, standard freight would have carried significant cost. Fab Glass and Mirror arranged shipment under C&F (Cost and Freight) Incoterms and absorbed the transit expense, delivering at no additional shipping cost to the job site in Alabama.

Key Takeaways

1

100% Damage-Free Delivery

All three oversized custom glass panels arrived at the Alabama job site on schedule with zero transit damage. The careful handling and freight coordination ensured the panels reached the site ready for installation.

Custom Requirements Met

Fab Glass and Mirror delivered structural-grade safety glass with the requested branding-free finish while meeting Vertex’s aesthetic and performance specifications. Every panel was produced to meet the project’s specific requirements without compromising safety or visual quality.

3

On-Time, On-Budget Execution

Freight costs were covered despite the shipment’s heavy, oversized dimensions, with consistent account management and communication throughout the project. Regular updates helped keep the project on track from order confirmation through final delivery.

Results & Impact

The Project Concluded With The On-Time Delivery Of All Three Custom Glass Panels To The Alabama Job Site, With Zero Units Damaged In Transit. By Eliminating The Visible Branding Stamp, Covering Freight Costs On A Heavy, Oversized Shipment, And Maintaining Direct Communication Through Account Manager Sid Mathews, Fab Glass And Mirror Delivered Structural-Grade Safety Glass That Met Vertex's Aesthetic And Performance Requirements On Time And On Budget.

The Finish Quality Was Exactly What We Needed: No Branding, No Compromises On Safety. Fab Glass Kept Us Updated At Every Stage, And The Panels Arrived On Schedule Without A Single Issue.
