Vitro Architectural Glass and its Vitro Certified Network of fabricators, located throughout North America, are celebrating 25 years of continuous innovation behind Solarban solar control low-e glass, Vitro’s flagship product. The Vitro Certified Network has played a critical role in advancing Solarban glass capabilities.
What Vitro leadership says
“The Vitro Certified Network has been instrumental in driving the growth and innovation of Solarban glass, offering architects an unmatched range of performance and aesthetic options,” says Andre Kenstowicz, Manager of the Vitro Certified Network and Key Projects.
“Solarban 60 glass changed the industry by allowing Vitro to ship monolithic high-performing coated glass, giving fabricators across the country the ability to cut and temper it at their facilities,” says Kenstowicz. “This breakthrough significantly expanded local fabrication capabilities and sped up how quickly projects could be served.”
