The Frameless Hardware Company (FHC) announced the launch of its new On-Demand Stock Glass Division, bringing to market a “Glass in a Box” product line. This expansion gives glaziers and contractors immediate access to high-demand glass sizes and configurations, streamlining the supply chain and bypassing lengthy lead times typically associated with custom-fabricated glass.
With this launch, FHC positions itself as a one-stop shop, offering hardware, installation tools, glazing supplies, and now stocked glass, all from a single source.
“We’re listening to our customers, and oftentimes they need glass now,” says Chris Hanstad, President and CEO of FHC. “This new program is designed to maintain our extreme customer service standards and to complement offerings from our longtime tempering partners. The industry is asking, and we’re delivering.”

These stock glass solutions meet ANSI Z97.1-2015 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 standards.

All laminated tempered glass utilizes EVA interlayers for high moisture resistance in applications where edges are exposed.
