The Anatomy of Archetype Glass
Every Archetype panel is two lites of architectural glass permanently bonded around a custom interlayer. That interlayer does two jobs at once: it makes the glass safety-rated, and it’s the canvas where we build your color, opacity, reflectivity, and embedded materials. Explore each layer.
First (Face) Glass
“We start by choosing the right structural glass for your span, safety code, and the surface your client will actually touch and see.”
The Safety-Rated Interlayer
“This is where Archetype wins. One layer holds the glass together if it’s ever struck — and it’s the same layer that carries your color, opacity, reflectivity, and any material we seal inside.”
Second (Back) Glass
“The backing lite finishes the panel — back it with mirror for reflective depth, or keep it clear so the interlayer reads beautifully from both sides.”
Put it in front of a client
Seven dimensions of customization, one panel.
Density is just one lever. Layer in color, reflectivity, finish, and embedded materials, then request a physical sample at the exact spec — or open the live Opacity tool to demonstrate it on real interiors.
