Curtain Wall & Terrace Glass Systems in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES
ORANGE COUNTY
SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
A curtain wall is the glass-and-mullion facade that gives modern Los Angeles buildings their clean, light-filled look — and a terrace glass system protects that same view from wind, noise, and weather. The Los Angeles Glass Company designs, installs, and repairs both systems for commercial buildings across LA County, Orange County, and the San Fernando Valley.
We are a 3rd generation glass glazier and a US Air Force veteran-owned commercial glass contractor serving Southern California since 2008. From low-rise storefronts to multi-story curtain walls, we bring two generations of glass family know-how to every job.
What Is a Curtain Wall Glass System?
A curtain wall is a non-structural glass and metal facade that wraps a building but carries none of its structural load. It keeps the weather out while letting natural light flood the interior.
Curtain walls are engineered, not assembled by guesswork. Every system we install is designed to handle the wind loads and seismic movement that Los Angeles demands.

- Glazing — insulated glass units that deliver energy efficiency and a seamless look.
- Mullions and frames — aluminum members that hold the glass in place and transfer wind load.
- Spandrel panels — opaque sections that hide floor slabs and mechanical space between floors.
- Pressure plate and gasket systems — the hardware that seals each lite against water and wind.
What Are Terrace Glass Systems?
A terrace glass system turns an exposed balcony, rooftop, or deck into usable year-round space. Panels and windscreens block the wind and noise that make high-rise outdoor areas uncomfortable.
Coastal towers from Santa Monica to Long Beach rely on these systems to make balconies livable against the salt air and offshore breeze.

- Glass windscreens — tempered or laminated panels that cut wind without walling off the view.
- Frameless glass terrace doors — floor-to-ceiling panels that open the space wide.
- Glass railing systems — infill panels that combine safety and sightlines.
- Patio and sliding terrace doors — operable glass that connects indoor and outdoor living.
Why Work With a Veteran-Owned Commercial Glass Contractor?
Commercial glazing is unforgiving work. A curtain wall failure is a huge liability, so the contractor you choose matters as much as the glass itself.
When your project depends on execution, experience and discipline beat a low bid every time.
- 3rd generation family glazier — commercial glazing has been our family business for decades, not an experiment.
- US Air Force veteran-owned — Gus Ramos, who served in a communications squadron on Operation Southern Watch and Operation Enduring Freedom, keeps the crew accountable and precise.
- SBA-registered and insured — proper licensing, insurance, and bonding protect your project and your building.
- Serving SoCal since 2008 — long-term, local reputation across LA County, Orange County, and the Valley.
- Servant’s attitude — we treat every building owner’s investment like our own.
Curtain Wall Installation Process for LA Buildings
Curtain wall installation is a staged process. We bring the discipline and sequencing required to keep a commercial project on schedule and on budget.
- Engineering and design review — we verify wind load, seismic movement, and drainage before a single lite goes up.
- Site survey and anchoring — accurate embed placement is the foundation of a weather-tight wall.
- Frame and mullion assembly — we stand the aluminum grid plumb and square.
- Glass unit installation — insulated glass units go in with the right shims, gaskets, and sealant.
- Watertight sealing — we test seams and drainage so the wall performs, not just looks great.
- Final inspection — a walkthrough with the general contractor before we hand the building back.
Curtain Wall Repair, Re-glazing, and Replacement
Existing curtain walls fail slowly — leaking seals, fogging units, broken glass — until they become expensive emergencies. Do not wait for the leak to reach your tenants.
Early repair is far cheaper than emergency re-glazing after a storm or a wind event damages a whole wall.
Call 310-736-4374.
- Sealant and gasket replacement — old sealants dry out and shrink; we restore the weather barrier.
- Insulated glass unit replacement — fogged or failed IGU’s are swapped to restore clarity and efficiency.
- Broken or cracked lite replacement — matching profile and color keeps the facade uniform.
- Full curtain wall section replacement for structural or design damage.
Curtain Wall Glass Energy Efficiency
In Southern California’s sun, the glass envelope is the biggest driver of cooling cost in a commercial building. High-performance glass pays for itself.
We spec glass for the building’s orientation and climate so your HVAC system works less and your energy bill drops.

- Low-E insulated glass units reject solar heat and UV while keeping natural light.
- Tinted and reflective glass cut glare for office workers and tenants.
- Properly sealed units stop air and moisture infiltration that wastes energy.
- Coastal climate tuning — glass chosen for salt air and UV load, not just looks.
Earthquake Considerations for Curtain Walls
Los Angeles glass envelopes must survive seismic movement. A rigid curtain wall anchored too stiffly can crack under ground motion, so the system needs engineered flexibility.
If a quake has struck and your building looks compromised, call our 24/7 emergency line before anyone approaches the glass.
- Silicone-glazed and structural framing allow controlled movement at the panel edges.
- Seismic joints and mullion details keep glass from loading edge-to-edge during a shake.
- Tempered and laminated glazing reduces the risk of dangerous shards.
- Post-event inspection — we respond fast after any significant quake to assess facade integrity.
Storefront and Low-Rise Glass Installation
Curtain walls are the high-rise face, but most LA storefronts run on the same glass craft. We install and repair the full range of commercial glazing, from single storefront windows to complete glass storefronts.
Mismatched or poorly sealed commercial glass hurts your curb appeal and your security. We keep your storefront looking sharp and built to last.
- Storefront doors and windows for retail storefronts and offices.
- Office glass partitions and walls for flexible, light-filled workspaces.
- Glass doors and entrance systems engineered for daily commercial traffic.
- Commercial storefront repair and replacement after breakage or wear.
