Custom Precision Glass Solutions

Finding the right glass solution starts with understanding the requirements of your product. Whether you’re developing industrial equipment, a lighting fixture or an interior product, the glass component needs to match both the application and the manufacturing process. Contour Precision Glass develops and manufactures custom glass solutions for projects across a wide range of industries, from prototypes to small and medium production runs.

Machine Building & High-Tech

Machine guards, viewing windows and laboratory equipment all place different demands on glass. Glass may need to withstand heat, provide clear visibility or contribute to operator safety without compromising the overall design.

Contour manufactures custom glass components for applications such as:

  • Machine guards
  • Viewing windows
  • Laboratory equipment
  • Oven glass
  • Displays
  • Payment terminals

Each component is produced to match the technical requirements of the equipment and can combine multiple processing techniques where needed. Curved safety glass is regularly used where strength, safety and a precise fit come together. Learn more about our Curved Safety Glass solutions.

Automotive & Vehicles

A replacement window for a classic car requires a different approach than a curved windscreen for a boat. Dimensions, safety requirements and appearance all have to match the final product.

Our automotive projects include classic cars, sliding windows, headlights and boat windscreens, produced in flat or curved glass depending on the application. Toughened safety glass can be incorporated where required, allowing each component to meet the functional demands of the project.

Furniture, Interior & Home Décor

Furniture, interior products and home décor all rely on glass that fits the design as well as the intended use. Edge quality, surface finish and accurate dimensions contribute to the appearance of the finished product, while durability remains equally important.

Applications include:

  • CGlass display cabinets
  • Glass table tops
  • Retail counters
  • Balustrades
  • Candle holders
  • Decorative bowls
  • Magazine holders

Depending on the design, components can be combined with processing techniques such as edge finishing, drilling, printing or sandblasting. Explore our Glass Processing Capabilities for an overview of the available options.

Lighting

The glass used in a lighting fixture influences far more than its appearance. Light transmission, shape and finishing all affect the performance of the final product.

Contour manufactures custom glass components for indoor lighting, outdoor lighting and decorative lighting, from individual prototypes to production runs. Looking for application-specific examples? Visit our Lighting applications page.

Hospitality

Buffet systems, food display units and dispensing equipment all depend on glass that combines presentation with everyday durability. Every component is manufactured to match the equipment, its intended use and the required finish.

Examples include:

  • Glass lids
  • Food display units
  • Dispensing equipment

Design & Signage

Signage, name plates, memorial glass and art objects each place different demands on the finished glass component. Some projects focus on visual impact, while others require consistency across a larger series.

Applications include:

  • Signage
  • Name plates
  • Memorial glass
  • Art objects

Custom glass signage and name plates can be manufactured for office buildings, apartment complexes, hotels, holiday parks, retail environments and other commercial projects, as individual pieces or larger production runs.
