Design with glass

From anti-reflection to color tints, modern glass enhances design in many ways.

Build with glass

Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.

Highlights
122 Leadenhall - The Cheesegrater

The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.

Fruit and Wool Exchange

The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.

Caudwell International

Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Our presence across regions helps to provide global glass solutions at a localized level.

Europe

In 2024, we started using CombiAPP-EU – CombiTour, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that combines orders from all European plants to optimize our transportation routes and minimize the distances traveled by empty trucks (known as “empty kilometers”). Since its launch, the app, which evolved from a concept used over 10 years ago with manual work, has reduced our “empty kilometers” in Europe by approximately 1,500,000 kms over 9 months.

More open-glass shipments, less wood packaging:

By increasing open glass shipments in coordination with customers, the GulfGuard and RAK plants have reduced wood packaging material usage, and associated waste generated by the packaging materials by about 30%.

The sites were able to reduce wood packaging imports and the associated cradle-to-gate carbon emissions (e.g., minimized wood processed and then transported to Guardian RAK for use as packaging), reduce waste generated by the wood packaging materials, improve the ease and safety in handling, packaging, and unpacking time, and increase flexibility for the labor force of Guardian and our customers.
