Frameless Hardware Company Launches On-Demand Stock Glass Division

The Frameless Hardware Company (FHC), a leading supplier of architectural hardware and glazing supplies, proudly announces the launch of its new On-Demand Stock Glass Division, bringing to market a revolutionary “Glass in a Box” product line. This expansion empowers glaziers and contractors with immediate access to high-demand glass sizes and configurations, significantly streamlining the supply chain and bypassing lengthy lead times typically associated with custom-fabricated glass.

With this launch, FHC becomes a true 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,” said 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.”

Stock Glass Highlights:

• 1/4" and 3/8” Clear Tempered Glass for sliding and swing shower doors
• 1/2” Clear Tempered Glass for HERC-DOOR™ glass entrances
• 1/2” Monolithic and 9/16” Laminated Clear Tempered Glass for ACHIEVE™ Frameless Glass Railing Systems

• Field-reversible shower panels include FHC’s Glass Surface Protective Coating on both sides, a co-polymer nanotechnology finish that repels hard water build-up and simplifies cleaning

Ideal for Multi-Unit Projects:
These stock glass solutions are perfect for projects with common openings or multiple identical units—such as hospitality, multi-family residential, and light commercial applications.

Quality & Compliance:
U.S.A. Tempering Specifications: Meets ANSI Z97.1-2015 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 standards. Additionally, all products are produced to SGCC (Safety Glazing Certification Council) specifications, ensuring compliance with rigorous quality assurance and building code requirements. All laminated tempered glass utilizes FHC ionoplast interlayers for high moisture resistance in applications where edges are exposed.

With the “Glass in a Box” initiative, FHC continues its mission of delivering unmatched service, reliability, and innovation to the glazing industry.
